Awee man... Deepseek geting a 'significant' price increase. My favorite model as of lately, I hope it's still affordable for me.

Just did a big refactor on the UI/UX for an upcoming app using new Muse Spark 1.2 and very satisfied with both the cost and output. Looks like Deepseek has competition now. $0.46/ spent. 71.1 million input tokens w/68.6m chached hits.
This I think is going to shake up the game. Big punch to the Chinese models. Muse Code is in beta too. developer.meta.com/ai/products/... Looking promising. Amazing prices. I will do some testing and report back.

Have you tried running an agent system yet? But just not any agent... One that grows with you? I have been building, iterating, and working through roadblocks and ideas faster than ever thanks to @nousresearch.com and their Hermes Agent. Don't sleep on it. 🚀
Making strides this week! 99% done with the setup and content for my site mossaistudio.com And almost almost done with the front/back end for copysprout.app Feel's good to be back building again.

I have heard a lot of people talking about AI listings flooding Etsy. So I made simple Chrome extension to check for AI listings. handmadechecker.com Here is why I made it: tarlow.space/blog/handmad...
Spot AI-Generated Listings on Etsy - Handmade Checker
Instantly analyze Etsy listings to detect AI-generated products. One-click authenticity checks powered by AI.

Every post when a new model comes out: "The new MODEL_NAME_ is live on our service! Come try it out." or the "content creator" approach "MODEL_NAME is out! Watch me make generational wealth." Are we becoming banner blind to this all yet? Or is it reeling you in?
Shipped the new mossaistudio.com refactor/redesign yesterday. Built with Astro, it's now the home for Handmade Checker (live) and MossCrawl (coming soon). Also working on MyParrot Desktop this month. Been a productive July!

Learn more about the new Gemini 3.6 Flash. Pricing still high for me to use as a daily driver but I am excited to try it out. Grats to the Google team! blog.google/innovation-a...
Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
We’re introducing new Gemini models, including Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite and 3.5 Flash Cyber.
blog.google
3 New models so far from Google today! Gemini 3.6 Flash: Smartest everyday model, built directly from user feedback. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite: Fastest and most cost-effective model in the 3.5 family. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber: For Security fixes in CodeMender. Let's go!!!
I may not be posting a lot, but that means I'm just building. Non-stop in the lab. Crawling back into the world again and can't wait to share the things I have been working on. #KeepBuilding #Build #DontStop $GetIt
Gemini 3.6 Flash! Is showing up in Google AI Studio and Antigravity! 🚀 🪄
Working on a new project: MossCrawl. It scrapes web pages, scores them against your target keywords, and tells you which content opportunities to go after. Covers every page like moss. 🟢 More to come, it's growing 😀
Small housekeeping: stripped "AI" from my blog's page titles where it was just filler. Feels better saying what something is rather than what buzzword it touches. Same reason I run Gemma 4 locally for my tools instead of paying for a label. Authenticity over hype.
I smell DeepSeek V4 GA coming... It's going to be tasty. Let's cook!
Bonsai 27B dropped last week. A 27B multimodal model compressed to 1-bit weights - 5.9GB, runs on a phone, keeps 94% of FP16 perf. We're entering the era where "can I run this locally?" goes from "no" to "probably yes." Loving it! prismml.com/news/bonsai-...

My Chrome Extension failed the Chrome Webstore review yesterday. 1. Sign up was broken because CORS (even though my tests were working)) 2. Privacy policy was not 100% right in googles eyes Fixed those issues (hopefully) and sent it back for review 🤞
Yesterday, my agent and I made new Hermes Agent skills together — 80 tools across 15 categories. Recent hits: launch-readiness for Handmade Checker, snapshot-to-memory (desktop→AI→notes), agentmail inbox, weather API, gateway platform setup, and the knowledge bridge in Obsidian. More every week. 🚀
After spending some time working with the ADK and making my own multi agent called "Alex" I am now diving into Hermes Agent. Set up on the laptop and already integrated in Discord. Built in the email system via Discord messages. And didn't even touch the laptop. The agent set it up. Here we go 🚀
Just submitted my first #ChromeExtension for review to the Chrome Web Store! Super excited to get it done and published. Check it out at: www.handmadechecker.com Once it's live you can add it to chrome. ❤️
Head down building in the studio today. No more updates for a few days. Let's go! #build
Building a voice-controlled Linux agent team called Alex. Say "Alex open Firefox" and it opens. "Alex create a backup script" and Bruce (coding agent) writes it, Simba (review agent) checks it. Gemma 4B, Deepseek, Kokoro TTS, OpenWhispr. Feels like magic. Will post updates soon.
Keeping it cheap! ♥️ the results. My stack the past 3 months: VS Code where I use OpenChamber (extension for OpenCode) to steer Deepseek V4 Flash (mainly) using the OpenCode Go plan. Getting tons done at a fraction of what people are paying for using plans like Claude Code.
My new Project Talk is here, where I talk about my latest released project "SkyBuddy". Learn about what it is, what it does, and how the ext is speeding up my workflow. tarlow.space/blog/project... #Bluesky #LLM #ChromeExtension #AI
