Grok Bot for Home Assistant with their MCP
A week ago I started using Grok Bot for some hobby projects and found out that there’s a Home Assistant MCP from the Open Source community. And wow: It’s great! Read moreSo, Ministral tried to generate SQLAfter connecting it to Grok Bot I asked it a few simple questions: What lights do I have? And…
Claude’s voice mode is awesome!
Since the release of GPT’s proper voice mode, where it sighs and such, I’ve been using voice agents for ideating and learning more. Recently, Anthropic updated Claude’s own voice mode and I think it’s powered by ElevenLabs their voice models (just an assumption based on how it sounds) and I have to say: I’m impressed.…
MiniMax M2.1 still beats Kimi K2.5
Even if Kimi is better on BenchMarks, MiniMax seems to be a lot better in backend code in the wild. Our codebase is well over 500k lines of code and MiniMax seems to navigate it a lot better than Kimi. And you can clearly see that on the statistics of Kilo, that people like MiniMax’s…
Backend Git Bisect with an Agent
Today I committed a few “wip” commits and during one of those commits I broke some code and caused tests to fail. I got curious and wanted to see if an LLM could git bisect and the answer was: yes, very fast! The LLM (Gemini 3 Flash in this case) quickly started the bisect and…
Qwen’s response to Grok Code 1 Fast?
Grok Code 1 Fast has been a smash hit since it’s launch, mainly because it was a free model with a peak of 240B tokens on one day: This is the only thing I can think about when I read the new model’s information of Qwen3 Coder Next: that it’s a competitor to Grok’s coding…
Kilo’s new CLI is here!
A week ago, I was setting up the Kilo CLI on one of the laptops of a colleague and we saw something surprisingly happen: the new version of Kilo’s CLI was loaded (1.0.3 at that time, where 0.26.1 was the @latest tag). So, I decided to set it up on my laptop and I immediately…
My favorite model: Gemini 3 Flash
It’s a fairly affordable model but it has a lot of power. It’s capable of generating wonderful UI like this in one shot: The model is in the top of intelligence, the top of speed and it’s in the low area of the token pricing which makes it a model you can easily debug and…
The migration to OpenRouter
A few months ago we opted to use OpenRouter at the company I work for. And moving to it was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our AI implementation. The reason? Unmatched stability. OpenRouter handles the load balancing across providers so we can just focus on building features that add value for the…
You don’t need the best model
When people work with AI, they always opt for “the best model” hen people work with AI, they always opt for “the best model” without having thought about it.This is bad since it: Yes, the best models are “the best.” Which is wonderful, but using those models is not necessarily a requirement.For less complex tasks…
Thinking Backwards: How to Write Better AI Prompts
I’ve discovered something fundamental that applies far beyond just one domain: the way you interact with AI mirrors the way you should approach problem-solving in general. It’s about reverse-engineering your desired output rather than hoping the system figures it out. This principle works whether you’re planning a vacation, organizing your home, managing your finances, or…
GPT-OSS-120B is a wonderful model
Lately, I’ve been experimenting more and more with open-weight models and I think GPT-OSS-120B just nails it: it’s fast, powerful and it listens quite good the the instructions it’s given. For some context: I’m working on an AI Assistant at one of the companies I work for and we sometimes have some content that does…
Saving on subscription costs by using OpenWebUI
For the past few years, I’ve paid for Perplexity Pro and ChatGPT (and sometimes even Claude) at the same time. (And for those already typing furiously: yes, in Perplexity you can use those models from Anthrophic and OpenAI, but it’s not the same). It was time to change that and only pay for what I…
