How did they agree to the terms that were initially put forward by Anthropic but with OpenAI? Surely there’s a catch here. Or is it just Sam negotiation skill?

I’m surprised that gemini 3 pro is so low at 31.1% though compared to opus 4.6 and gpt 5.2. This is a great achievement but its only available to ultra subscribers unfortunately


yeah this should be the standard, same here in Australia unfortunately the police will just pretend to care by taking more information and then does nothing.


I always find some things that doesn't work with my PC on windows 11. Sometimes things as simple as moving files in explorer makes it hangs where I had to restart explorer.exe. This is embarrassing really that windows can't get this right. There are so many times where I was frustrated and wished that I can just use my macbook pro as my only workstation. I just wish that steam on linux has full support for most games that are it supports in windows then i'll make the switch

my pc is not even that old, its ryzen 9 5900x with rtx 3080 and 32gb ram. however it is sluggish compared to my m1 pro macbook pro

That day is today (assuming you don't play games with kernel anti-cheat).


I'm anxiously waiting for a slightly better Nvidia support. It'll either be Bazzite or CachyOS, it seems.

Id rather have something mainstream, like Fedora i dislike but know its daemons better, but tough luck, it seem.

Still, it's so fragmented. If I want a server, I have two families to chose from and two exactly solid choices. I'd I want a desktop for work - 2-4 solid choices.

But desktop for gaming? Well, it's where "well, it depends" starts.


The fragmentation ain't great, but it's mostly just a hump at the start. Once you pick something, it's usually fine, and if it isn't, you learn that fairly quickly and switch to something else that is fine. After having tried one thing, you will have learned what needs you have and can rule out alternatives a lot more easily. Still, it would be nice to have one obvious solid choice, and then alternatives if you have specific needs.

I'd imagine most people are waiting for SteamOS to become that one obvious solid choice, but Valve probably don't want to do that without Nvidia support not being the way it is today (and they probably don't want to do support either way, so they might never do it either way).


Well, yes but no.

I don't want Arch-based system because it will be PITA with upgrades. I like rpm-based systems (and use Fedora at work despite my reservations), and to be honest I'd prefer Ubuntu.

But instead I need to hack it like it's 90s. Up to and including custom kernel modules.

Like..... come on people :)


Steam on Linux is great. I'm playing Deadlock and Arc Raiders on my 3070 Ti without issue, highly recommend it if you're not playing FaceIts or Valorant.


yeah this is so sad, I'm an early supporter of Tailwind since v1 and I also bought the tailwind UI as well to support them. I hope this era doesn't discourage the tailwind team or put them out of business


Congrats for this! how does this differs from claude-mem? I've been using claude-mem for a while now

Thanks for mentioning this. I installed claude-mem today and it’s already come in handy. Pretty neat how it can go get individual prompts and replies from previous sessions without consuming a lot of tokens. And I finally have some visibility into what my subagents are doing thanks for the real time feed web dashboard.


Merry Christmas everyone!!


looking at the results, it seems like flash should be the default now when using Gemini? the difference between flash thinking and pro thinking is not noticeable anymore, not to mention the speed increase from flash! The only noticeable one is MRCR (long context) benchmark which tbh I also found it to be pretty bad in gemini 3 preview since launching


this is very impressive! as much as I love Claude though, is it just me or their limit is much lower compared to others (Gemini and GPT)? At the moment I'm subscribed to Google One AI ($20) which gives me the most value with the 2tb google drive and Cursor ($20). I've subscribed to GPT and Claude as well in the past, I find that I was hitting the limit much faster in Claude compared to all the others, it made me reluctant to subscribe again. from the blog post it seems like they've been prioritising the Max users most of the time?


yeah i agree, the prompt is to "shorten the giraffe's neck length", not to bent it. i feel like the Gemini 3 produces better result on that one
