We are back! After a two-month pause to work on some very important things, I am back to livestreams, so tune in next week to learn how things are going in Angular And also learn what new topics will come to the streams in the future 😉

GDE for Angular, front-end team lead. I write articles and talk at conferences
If you are building anything serious on top of LLMs, you must admit that "prompt engineering" is actually alive and well; it just now means a slightly different thing
Just one hour left! Join me and @michaelsmalldev.bsky.social as we explore #Angular 22 and see what exciting new things are about to drop! Link to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MUT...

#Angular 22 is coming! A lot of exciting things are happening, and one of them is having @michaelsmalldev.bsky.social on! The very first guest of our streams is back to help us navigate through what changes the new Angular version brings, so tune in tomorrow at 4:30 PM UTC!
I've been trying MiniMax M3 since this morning, and my initial impression is very good! Super capable model and can really work well as a "thinking companion" on heavy work rather than just a plain executor.
Just now trying Opus 4.8, and it is... incredibly slow?

I've been building agents for graph retrieval and agentic search for quite a while now. Deepseek V4 Flash (yes, flash!), especially for its price and size, is a BEAST of a model! Can't praise it enough, the team absolutely cooked 🚀
Do not forget to tune in today! I am going to show how NgRx is cool and can play well with AI agents (somehow, not coding!). See you at 4:30 PM UTC Link if you want to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hq8...
We surely do generate a lot of #NgRx code in our #Angular apps, but using NgRx as the backbone of an AI-powered app or agentic UI? That's new! Join me as we discuss how a well-defined state management architecture can make adding AI features into your app incredibly easy! Wednesday, 4:30 PM UTC
Don't forget to join today! We will look at a bunch of features that were this🫰 close to landing in #Angular but got ditched or postponed at the last moment... lots of interesting and maybe controversial things there 😉 See you in two hours! Link to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jNP...
What Angular could have been

DeepSeek v4 Flash is so fast and very good, that at its incredibly low price seems almost unfair to larger models 😅
Let's talk Open models. Everyone is using LLM to build apps nowadays. But most are stuck with big models and tools like Codex and Claude Code. I believe there is a third path: open weight models Join tomorrow to see how they work on Angular apps! Watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD8T...
Going beyond the LLM heavy weights

In continuation of what I said yesterday: GLM 5.1 is still smarter than Kimi K2.6. Both great models anyway.
In the past few streams, we started discussing Open Source LLMs for building apps and coding. This week, let's just discuss them! Let's walk through OpenCode, how it compares to other tools, how to set up an environment tailored to #Angular, and my favorite models Join me on Wednesday at 4 PM UTC
- Use OpenCode - Have Kimi K2.6 write a short plan for whatever you want to implement using the /grill-me skill - Switch to GLM 5.1 and have it criticize and update the plan - Switch back to Kimi K2.6 and implement Thank me later!
Fantastic article to help understand the fundamentals of LLMs!
As promised last week, here’s our first article on AI. We start at the core: the model. What you need to know to understand how it works, its limitations, and how modern AI mitigates them. Long read, but long weekend ahead. So you have enough time 😅 soverius.ai/blog/ai-unde...
OpenCode + Kimi K2.6 + /grill-me skill by @mattpocock.com This is the stack I love the most in agentic coding recently
Sometimes coding with LLMs can be kinda depressing because the whole process involves a lot of waiting, answering questions, and checking, arguably the 3 least favorite things for people to do

Whatever I post on Twitter gets almost zero interactions, since I am posting very rarely these days. I have way fewer followers here, so I'm just testing how it will be different here
Yesterday we talked about Google's ADK framework, and discussed some more advanced features like - Sequential agents - Loop agents - Parallel agents - agents as tools for other agents
Don't forget to tune in today! We will learn more about ADK in-depth by re-creating a fascinating feature from NoteBookLM 😉 Starting in 3 hours!
Last time we talked about Google's Agent Development Kit, we covered the basics of LLMs and agents: tools, structured output, and other Time to go deeper! Join me tomorrow at 4:30 PM UTC as we discuss multi-agent setup, parallelization, agents as tools, and more! Link to watch on YouTube:

Let's talk about ADK again

Ok, people seriously need to start talking about Kimi K2.6. Almost Opus-level coding capability, I really started thinking about letting Anthropic go fully

Ok, time to revisit Google's Agent Development Kit A while ago, we did a livestream covering the basics of agent-building with ADK. Now, a month later, join me in exploring multi-agent systems, parallelism, and agents that really do solve complex problems Wednesday, 4:30 PM UTC
Had an absolutely fantastic stream with Younes Jaaidi yesterday! Must watch if you care about #Angular testing
We are going live soon! Join me and @younesjd.dev as we discuss the state of #Angular testing today, and how it helps us in the AG of coding agents Link if you prefer to watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-4u...
Don't forget to test your Angular apps

Don't forget to test your #Angular apps! I know many people skip, but in this day and age, nothing is more important than having decent tests to cover your back. And if you're unsure how to start, tomorrow's livestream is for you!
Is your #Angular app secure? Is your computer even secure while you develop your Angular app? All of these questions become increasingly sharp in this new landscape of AI agents and supply chain attacks. Let's try and figure out how to keep ourselves safe! Tonight, at 5 PM UTC
Everything is getting hacked, broken or supply-chain attacked thede days... Some people underestimate how important security can be front-end applications, and with the rise of AI-driven coding, vulnerabilities only seem to explode.
