About This Episode
This week on Command AI Shortcuts, Samuel and Kabarza dive into the chaotic world of new model releases. From Google’s Gemini 3 Flash and its questionable hallucination rates to Claude’s massive feature drop, we cover it all. Plus, we look at why GitHub's pricing is causing an uproar, how to win $10k from Framer, and the hilarious story of a vending machine that was tricked into giving away free electronics.

hear you through the >> what did you comment on? >> Yeah, you can comment on the pre-live. You can all you always have been >> I didn't I didn't schedule it. I mean actually yeah, maybe it does. It looks Oh, it's cool. The the the um what do you call it? The the default thumbnail looks pretty sick actually to be fair. Good to leave it. Right, we Oh, by the way, yeah, we're streaming. Hey. Whoa, we're streaming. >> Just like forgot that I pressed stream. Hello there. That That is actually good. That is That is cool. >> Three people. Are you on YouTube? Probably on um Twitter. How's it going, Twitter? Um jam-packed episode this week. I tell you what, you need your light on, right? >> I need what? You need Yeah. Why? Why don't you have a Christmas tree already? >> How do you know I don't? >> Well, you are not showing it. But you see these like lights? This is like my Christmas tree. >> Yeah, it's nice, isn't it? It's nice and cozy. >> Yeah, my room is so green. And I I I feel like I have way too much beige here. I need to add some more green. >> Complimentary. They're complimentary. Yeah, >> come some and >> no, I want to see your screen. >> And just so my editing is is easier, I think you need to be more central to your camera. >> Composition wise, you look beautiful. I would opt for the the first third with the tree in the in the third third. That composition looked great, >> but you know, it's annoying having to edit someone who's just slightly off center. >> Yeah. And and you see how quickly I think was able to fix it because everything is just >> I can reach anyway. Okay, cool. >> So, hello to everybody joining uh to people on Twitter and on Instagram, please consider joining us on YouTube. You can see everything much bigger. you uh with better quality and less lag and then we can add your comments and Yeah. >> And that's where the like button exists. >> Yes, >> that like button. >> Just click it. Just consider clicking it, you know, just give it a little scratch. >> A little sniff. Scratch and sniff. Okay. So, I'm going to pin my own comment on Instagram so people can see it when they join. >> And I don't know if we have a lot of people this week because, you know, holidays are approaching or they have started depending on where you live >> and you're depending on the time zone. You might be right now running around like crazy to do some shopping. >> M That's true. I I should have done some stuff today to be honest, but um yeah, I'm kind of screwed. I'm always screwed Christmas shopping. I try and start early, but then other people aren't in the mindset. So that I'm asking like, "Oh, what would you like or this or that?" And no one's in the mindset. No one wants to think about it as early as I do. And then when they start doing it, it's too late for me. And I'm just like >> that's, you know, we're out of sync. I'm out of sync with absolutely everyone in my life, you know. >> So all you need to do is um to shift it to the next year. So >> you have to already plan next year's >> gifts. So technically difficult. >> It is. It is. But technically this means this is our Christmas episode. And I don't I mean I don't do I is this a is this a Christmasy? Is that Christmy? And I >> I don't know. I should I should have bought one of the Well, >> this is a bit Christmasy. It's a bit of trash. >> It's a little bit Christmy in it. Can I put that? >> I I have like a Christmas um sweatshirt and also I I want to buy one of the hats, but I don't have it. >> Anyway, anyway, >> let's talking about Christmasy, let me show you something that I've been uh working on. Okay. >> So you I'm sharing my screen and now uh people Okay. Now we see your screen. Let's >> do this. Let's try this again. Add to stage. Okay. Now there. >> So every year around Christmas I do something cool for my clients. And I'm going to make a video about this also. But let me show you what I've been building uh just quickly. You see this cool thingy? >> Oh yeah. Nice, nice, nice. >> It's pretty cool. And and you see if I uh drag it to 70% here, you see this threshold thing shows up. So that is firing a JavaScript um event because I want to capture this and then do a bunch of other animations. So what this is doing uh this is a part of a bigger plan. I'm going to show my Figma here uh a part of like a bigger project. Let me show you the final result. Well, semi-final result. Uh a Christmas card that I will be sending to my clients. >> Um each will get their own version on my domain using the CMS and like slash their name and we'll have like their own text and stuff. And there is the idea of this thing to pull and then the the lights go on and the snow will uh follow and uh uh and uh we'll have the jingle bell song and things like this. So building this for my clients but also doing this this year a bit early so I can share it with the community through my app flowing to for people to just easily copy paste it and send a version of this to their clients and I thought what is better than one Christmas card two Christmas cards so we are doing another version again with webgl uh effects and we're doing something like this with a tree that you can customize and then send the customized version to your client. You could put like their uh logo on on the top instead of the star. So I I think that is also cute for the client to see their own logo on the top. >> So yeah. Uh and what I just showed was a tiny part of that. And I had a lot of fun doing all of this. uh you know like you can change the trigger and change the the size and the distance and I don't know like the color or like the width of this thing and you know the length and it's it's quite fun you know with gravity everything and it's just a 3JS app uh essentially >> some 3JS >> doing code that >> yes I'm not throwing any shade I'm not I'm saying did you did you did you yourself did build this vibe code >> build like voded this yeah vcoded this I I knew what I want uh I had the designs and I >> um so what I did actually I don't have like the web flow project right now open um maybe I do let me see if it's here maybe it is this one it's kind of yeah so I I I can't show more right now. I'm in the middle of building, but essentially we're doing like an HTML element that you can design fully and using I believe it's CSS2 canvas or something like this um in that exists in 3JS we put that inside or we render that inside of the canvas. So this card that you see here can be any element that you create in your web flow project or any app that in like just h HTML and you give it a specific attribute and with the code we pull that in we attach a string to it and then you can play with it. So, I'm thinking about like how others can play around with this and yeah, >> very cool. >> It's pretty cool. >> Very thoughtful. >> It's fun. It's really fun like doing this. You have no idea how many bugs I had and how bad the first versions were, but like we got >> Did you just know what you were going to be building like before you built it or did you kind of go through a few iterations or we could do this or we could do that? So every year we do have a card um like the card from last year was this one. >> So we started actually in Figma with exploration and some ideas. We knew that we wanted to do WebGL. My designer literally >> drew these. This is so cute. Uh so it started from here and then another thing we did for my course on uh Black Friday, we had the Black Friday badge like that. So we kind of like had in inspiration based on this. I hope this answers the question. It's just like different sorts of inspirations coming together and as a team we come up with these ideas. >> Very cool. >> Yeah. inspires me to do a Christmas card. I should do a Christmas card. >> Well, I'm going to share that uh hopefully by tomorrow and then you'll be just able to literally customize it. >> Yeah. Yeah, it is taken care of. Like so much of these things you can customize especially with this version which is much more minimal. The tree you can change like how many layers it has like the angles, the the the dots, the animation, the logo on top. So much of it. Yeah. >> Nice. >> And Rohan is right now you see he's uh uh working on animating like we have some details like look at this. >> It's so nice. >> Uh he's animating this with Lahi maybe. I don't know. He's I know he's animating. I'm not sure. Um Lahi or Rive. >> So >> very cool. Well, I I I won't I won't dwell on it too long, but I had an unintentional early Christmas present to myself, >> which is this. >> Do you know what that is? >> Oh, nice. Yes. Uh, this is the click. What is it called? A click. No, click >> creator micro. Creator micro. >> And that's the framer one. >> And this is the framer one. Yeah, frame one. I think they did a Figma one of the old version. And it's it's weighty. It's That's metal. >> That is nice. >> Yeah, >> it looks really nice. >> How much was that? >> $179. >> $179. >> And it has it has a rotate wheel here. So, I can't do it because I've I've triggered that. So, it will switch tabs. So, you don't know this right now, but I'm switching the tabs. I'm switching through all my tabs like that. >> That is cool. >> This one is like a little knob in so I can move it to the left. So right now I'm selecting oh I've got some shortcuts assoc but I can rotate that 360 degrees and access different you know shortcuts or whatever through that and then of course I can assign these buttons to whatever it is I want. Um and then >> and then I've got a selection here it is got to be really careful now and I've got selection of keys then >> you can choose them. Yeah, >> that that big blue one is a published bar intended for frame frame use. So, >> yeah, really really nice. And it's if you can get I mean I have so many comments like I should do a review, shouldn't I? Really? >> Yeah. >> Um but I have so many comments like the fact that the truth is you've just >> it's really nice but you just don't like if you have this set up for like three or four different apps it's like trying to remember which key does what in all these different apps, right? So you kind of want to carry forward like if you say have copy and paste as an example, you kind of want to carry that same key through all of your apps, but it's quite hard to do that. Um, yeah. And and also I wish that there was Oh god, I've just uh I wish that they would I don't know how they would do this, but like one of the buttons needs like the home key, you know, the home key, the um the uh the F and the J on your keyboard right now has a little bump on it on your keyboard. Needs something like that. Maybe in the middle or somewhere to feel like you're at home, you know? >> Uh I don't know how they would do that. That's just like that's just me like dreaming. All that being said, I've had the worst experience I've ever had with a product with this thing. It keeps crashing and I've had to reset it about 12 times and it will just it doesn't go to sleep either. So the first night I had this, it just kept waking my computer up because it wouldn't itself go to sleep. sort just connect kept connecting to my computer and um and their whole feedback system is is totally [ __ ] I've already forwarded them on like when when when you connect to the computer and the app the the special app that you able to program all these buttons if it doesn't connect there's a little button on there called show feedback because naturally you would think that would be the place. It's like this is this is where it doesn't connect. So I click that I've left I've left I've left forum posts and whatever and then no one's getting back to me >> and then I try and contact contact them on Twitter >> and they tell me to email this email. So we're in conversation and then they just forward me something which I've done a million times but that that's beside the point. They don't really know that. Yeah. >> All I'll say is if you are running a product like don't make it hard. If you are receiving feedback from a a nonofficial channel, you're only doing yourself a disservice by like not operating in that channel. If I contact you on Twitter, deal with it on Twitter. Like don't just say go find us here or do that there. Like you need you need to be where your your users are. That's my belief anyway. I don't know. Like I just I just hate it when people are like oh you know we sorry we don't monitor this this thing and it's like well it's your you know it's your and and this is the only button available from the app by the way when you when you click the feedback button you're able to create a bug from there. So naturally you think they're monitoring that. So anyway, that's that's from a organizational standpoint. Um, you know, not not my greatest experience and it's been it's lasted okay today, but the fact that it just keeps freezing and restarting and then it and then I need to yeah go through setup again. It's annoying. >> I'm I'm quite um I'm curious how did you choose that? Why did you end up choosing that over the stream deck plus? So >> funny you say that now. Funny you say because that was going to be my next point is that the problem is is that these are fixed buttons and now now I see why the screens exist, >> right? And it suddenly made sense to me. I bought this purely to support framer. >> Don't need it. Didn't need it. Didn't think I need it. >> Now I'm starting to see actually it's quite nice. like um we've we've discussed it on the show before where I hate I hate with my hands doing this this this this going mouse keyboard mouse keyboard whereas now in Final Cut in an ideal situation I've got one hand on the mouse one hand on this and all of my key operations are all done on this whether it's cut copy paste um yeah delete all of that stuff um I don't know whether it's because I'm left-handed right I'm left-handed and I it feels like it's more of a chore to move and I'm doing too much with my right hand which is on my mouse if that makes sense. But either way, long story short, >> it's it's the the stream deck is actually a really cool um thing that I would consider now that I'm starting to like really see the light when it comes to this thing. >> Oh, and it needs to it needs to be able to open apps. It doesn't open apps. If I can press this to open an app, that'll be key. So, I have the Stream Deck um app like the the paid version. I'm actually It's a subscription. I think it's 20 bucks a year, something like that. >> What What are you paying for? >> So, because I I'm Okay. So, the app you can have exactly this uh set up every pretty much like everything you can do with it to my under like I I believe so everything you can do with it, you can do it with an app on your iPad. Uh but the the thing is you don't always have your iPad on your desk. >> Plus you need the feel you need the you need to be able to feel it because your eyes are not that's why the touch bar didn't work on the Mac >> on the laptop because you're not looking down. I mean well I don't know about you but >> I mean even with this you could like quickly you can do it with the iPad. So I >> I did buy the app and I'm quite happy with the app. The issue is that >> it's just an app. You having it connected all the time to your computer on your desk is like what you are actually paying for. And this is quite nice. Uh my question like uh or like my wish would be having something probably like this size like with a a few more >> but with these modules. So kind of like a mix of those two. I don't know. Maybe I'm just like uh >> hang on. What are you paying per year per year? What are you what what are you paying percription for a subsc? >> So I'm paying to have an that does exactly exactly this. >> But on your >> app does on my iPad and I believe the app is free but the free some >> uh limitations for how many buttons you can have and if you want to have like the maximum row and columns you pay that money. Uh, so I thought instead of buying this, I'll try it first. And it's pretty cool and the connection works and even I can have the connection to my PC and my uh Mac and switch between them, but it's not seamless and it's not as, you know, nice to always look for my iPad and have it charged and have it connected. >> So I get a bit lazy there. M >> but like you know uh the the point of the story if you want to test this you you truly don't have to pay 200 bucks or whatever to test this you can buy the or like not even buy you can just use the app on your phone test it and all this does again to my understanding all it does it adds that physical touch there is nothing else that you um like you could theoretically use an old device and connect it to uh the charger all the time, but again every time you have to open the app and if it's not connected for whatever reason, you connect it again and yeah. >> Yeah. Well, anyway, that's uh I have seen the light in having something like this because you again, you'd be surprised at how efficient you can be just by having a button do either multiple presses or even just a shortcut because of the moving of I I don't know. I'd need to watch someone else, but like I say, my right hand does a lot of um moving and it's just annoying, you know. Anyway, >> just test the stream. uh the the Elgato one as well. You can get it and you can compare them. >> Yeah, I could I could but I mean it doesn't really solve an issue because I would like the actual I would like the physical things. I mean I do I kind Yeah. Anyway, whatever we can we can we can discuss later. But yeah, >> uh really really nice device. I wish I wish it had gone a lot more smoothly and a lot I wish their team was a bit better um at at dealing with with feedback and whatever, but we'll get there. I'm hoping it's just another firmware update which will just, you know, correct it. But it's it's it's freezing and other people are having the same issue. So, it's not it's not just isolated to me. But, uh, let's let's get on with the show because it's coming up to half now and I'm I'm uh I'm partying tonight. So, as are you because it's Christmas. >> It is Christmas. Yeah. >> Cool. Um, so let me grab the notes. Okay, we should start by the intro and this is what I'm I starting with getting here. Cool. Let's start. Okay, so this week Google released Gemini Flash3. Uh, OpenAI has a new image model that is quite good. Uh, Replet is sharing ins or we are not talking about that one. >> Are we No, we are we are okay. So, Replet is sharing insight on how they built test agents. Uh, I haven't tested them. uh framer is giving away $100,000 to their creators and we'll talk about that uh in the challenge that they have and you might need that money because GitHub is getting more expensive. All of that in today's episode. This is Command AI. I'm Kabarzo >> and I'm Samuel and this is a week in AI design and dev. >> Do you think it's silly? I don't know if uh framer users need GitHub. Uh but let let us know how many frameware users uh do pay for GitHub. Anyway, uh I just thought it's fun to >> you freestyle. No one's going to blame you. You freestyle. >> No, no, that I had that actually written that actually the money. Yeah, the money that you might need it. I I wrote that. Okay, so uh websites are getting fun again and I really want to share this one with you. I think it's a great source of inspiration and if you are a developer, the chances are that you already have seen uh Nile's work. I think that's how it's pronounced. Nile. Uh Nile.fun. this guy, he's a developer and he has a bunch of like really crazy like crazy crazy games uh inside of the browser and all of them are fun and I love them. I'm not a robot is one of the most fun ones. I I want to do this with uh another friend and potentially publish some uh published the video. So you go through these like I'm not a robot um captur but it gets difficult like absurdly difficult. It gets so so freaking difficult that you will hate your life for it. And not just like not just difficult they get like fun and difficult. They get really fun and it's so creative. So he has this and he has like a bunch of other games that you might have seen. So I would just say go to nile uhf fun play with some of the games he has like this one is very simple like life checklist be born take first steps you know uh say first like and it gets like uh fun but what is more fun like there there are like some uh other ones and today we did this one and it is really fun. The password game. Oh man. Like choose a password. It gets more and more difficult. You might have seen this. The chances are you have seen this on Twitter. So like the the password you it must include a number and then all of a sudden you see like you're 10 levels like 20 levels deep and it asks for the face of the moon emoji based on your location and it it gets absurdly difficult. So yeah uh have a look get inspired. Nile is uh amazing and I'm really happy that people like him exist. give him a follow on Twitter and yeah he he's quite known I I see also here he has 81k followers. Yeah probably because this is the type of things he works on. So yeah >> pretty fun >> is that it? >> Yeah that's it. It's I told you like it's quite short. >> Yeah. He has a bunch of games. Like you could spend hours if not days >> in his website. Like literally >> that's just that's such a cool thing just to like Yeah, I'm just going to make up some games and just list them all and >> Yeah. And like imagine like if you would get just paid to do this. I don't know how he's making his money. I saw he's running some ads. I really don't know how he's making money, but it' be really cool to just sit and do this type of things. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, he's showing his work. He's just making a name for himself. I don't doubt that he's uh not expecting to make money, but off the tail end of that, you know, being hired, being, you know, sponsored or whatever, >> whatever. It's really cool. >> Yeah. >> Cool. >> Sweet. Wow, that's taken me by surprise. I thought it was going to be a long one, but uh should we should we chat about Gemini 3 Flash? >> Yeah, let's go. >> Do you want to intro this one or should I? >> No, you you can go. Yeah. >> Cool. Well, Google has a new model and it's really good. It's really good at building apps quickly and cheaply. And this is some of the things that people have been building with it. Um, where are we going? Here we go. >> So, this here we go. Um, I was already showing. Cool. So, this is an app that someone's built where he's using the camera to track his hand in in 3D space as well. And this is something I stumbled across on Twitter, as you can see. Um, >> that's really cool. I see those details of like the pixels that light up and Oh. Oh, man. That that's really cool. >> Um, is this >> Yeah. >> What it's showing. >> Um, is it full screen for you or not? >> It is like just Yeah. Well, I see the the Twitter. I see only the like the the tool window. >> Okay, fine. Uh well, down here obviously it's it's a little bit of a heat map of where the hand is. This is like the rotational stuff here. A lot of Yeah, as you say, a lot of little details. I don't know what this waveform thing is. Pinched strength. So, it's actually registering as hand gestures as well. So, >> really, really cool. Uh another one or another set of cool examples is the one that Google tried where this is again using multimodal and this is the thing about the flash models. It's really good at quick multimodal things that this is assessing video at the same time but I think what's happening here is actually giving you strategic advice based on the current where you are. I can still hear it. It's pretty uh >> So, it's really good at like one shoting things and especially compared to how cheap it is, right? >> Yeah, exactly. And and we had a brief chat about um all the all these different models and what they mean and what they do and how you can use them and you know, it's hard to really summarize it, but we we'll try our freaking >> the naming confuses me. So, can you tell me like the names? >> The latest version of Google models is three, right? So it's GE their model is called Gemini and it's called and the latest version is level three. So we've just seen Gemini version three pro which is like the hardcore researchers model. They also have a everyday use model called flash. So it's Gemini 3 flash. I see >> which is probably more comparable to GPT 5.2 you know everyday fast models whatever. They also have light. So they have three they've got that three-stage thing. Light, flash, and pro. I think they have deep think as well, which is their mega mega mega one, but we won't get into that. Um, and they haven't released version three of Flash Light yet. It's still I think that's still on version 2.5. So this is basically their everyday model. Now, when it comes to practical use cases, probably shouldn't be showing this anymore. uh when it comes to like practical use cases for a model like Flash, as you say, it's really good at oneshotting something. They probably gave these they gave these apps maybe a couple of follow-ups, but realistically, they don't do well, certainly in coding, they don't do well with a lot of follow-ups, like you know, change this, do that, and then do that. That's, you know, Claude is just without a doubt the best coding model that I've come across. Um I actually don't think Google have released a coding model specifically for coding. They they have put flash in Google AI studio. They've put flash in the Gemini CLI. It is available in them but the real world applications of this stuff speaks for itself and it's not they're not their models aren't really all that good for develop like codebased coding. Now I already feel like this is already getting confusing even just talking about it. The point is is that um this is your everyday model. Gemini is really good as your everyday the flash anyway is good good with for your everyday stuff. >> So I hope that clears things up. But it all comes down to your independent usage of the model. If you want to code with it, you go ahead and code with it. If you want to do some research with it, go ahead and do some research with it, you know, and and see how you feel about it. But don't don't expect these models all to be great at at everything. And we'll get into benchmarks maybe next week. But there's a lot to be said about the actual benchmarks because actually Flash is benching really really well. In code it's benching really really well, which is fine for the oneshot, but we don't oneshot things. We we develop. It takes time, you know. Um so anyway, just a bit of of the some of the boring stuff. You've seen what it can do. Actually, let let me get some more examples on the uh on the old screen because there's a couple couple of other ones here. I mean, it's just showing the speed at which is it. I think this is uh Gemini 3 Pro and then this is or vice versa. Um coding something. So, the speed and the token usage a lot more efficient there, which is really good. Um this is like I guess like another oneshot app that it's kind of built. It's you know you can click on all these sections of an image blah blah blah. That's cool. >> Um, and just let's just scroll down here, see where we can land. Um, yeah. Oh, here we go. There's there's where it's available. Um, where is it? It is Gemini API, anti-gravity as well. They're obviously pushing in anti-gravity, Vert.Ex, Gentile, Gemini Enterprise, uh, Gemini CLI, Android Studio, Gemini app, ni mode, and search. So again, this will probably be the the mode the model they use when you Google search things. Thing to be said about it though, 90% halluc 91% hallucination rate. It hallucinates like a [ __ ] So how how how reliable you know again you always need to do your >> 91% hallucination like 90% of the things he says includes hallucination. >> Yeah. Some level of reliable you know. Yeah. Exactly. It's it's ridiculous man. Um, yeah. So, how what can you really use it for when that's at risk? I mean, we're supposed to be trying to get hallucinations down. Uh, but it is what it is. >> The uh price is is against it's 50 50 cents in,3 out. So, it is a is a fast model. Um, and it's it's definitely usable, but the end of the day, you are the human at the end of this chain. And uh it will be up to you to make sure it hasn't hallucinated on you. >> Yeah. quite bonkers. Um, we're getting comments by the way. Uh, I it's like an eager employee who always does wrong things. Like he tries uh like he tries he get gets it correct at times but more work cleaning up after him. Yeah. I think it's just if you're going with that expectation you can be a bit more um respectful or acceptant of the of the ship behavior saying that. Um, so yeah, Gemini 3 flash always welcome. And it's interesting that, you know, Gemini 3 Pro kind of shook open API, open AAI's boots, right? And it's like they're trying to they it's rumored 5.3 Garlic. their top and then like Google then casually release another model that's actually again benching really well and has some real world practical use cases that are relevant to its you know what's intended application um man I've written a post I think I think open AI are done I reckon they're falling off I think they're falling off >> it's really difficult to be in their position I and I watched a video on how they are becoming Facebook or they tried to become Google but they are becoming Facebook. They are owning like crazy amount of data and your connections and like very sensitive data about you >> the way Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp do. Um but they tried to to own so much of like the whole vertical but they they haven't been able to really do much even though they have Atlas they have they they're trying so many things and we'll talk about uh more stuff in uh in the other episodes and uh parts of the show >> but >> it is difficult to be in their uh in their place especially with the amount of money that they are are promising. >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Um, so moving swiftly on as well with the with flash comes Nano Banana Flash. So it gets a bit more confusing. So we've got we've had Nano Banana Pro. We've been using Nano Banana Pro. >> Um, actually this isn't the one. This is this is not it. But they have released Nanobanana Flash, which is again there's a flash version of their image model, which we'll get into image models a little bit later on. So, um, again, if you need reasonable result, if you prioritize speed over quality, flash is your go-to. You know what I mean? And there may be plenty of use cases where that's the case. Let's see if we can get >> uh nano banana flash 3. Let's see what happens when we do this. See if we can get that. Um, and let's search nano banana. Here we go. expanding Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro insert. Oh, no, that's not it. Um, but point is there is a there is a Nano Banana Flash um that's been released and again prioritizing speed over over quality. And then the only other thing which I don't want to dwell on too much just because it's a little bit nerdy is that Gemini have always been as with everyone um Claude are really the o only people who are really and we'll go through it later on in the episode are really pushing what these AIs can do what what the what the um the tooling the the the ecosystem around it. they got skills um they got command agents they really pushed the hooks is another one all these kind of tools whereas everyone else has been quite stagnant in actually developing uh feature sets around until the interactions API has just come out now when you call if we can see if we can get there we go so when you call when you send your request to the AI you send it to um you normally see it in I don't know whether you've seen any documentation but it's always like completions slashcompletions or slash chat this is a new endpoint which is called interactions so you don't you let's see if we can get uh here we go text let's see if we can get an example um text generation thinking models see oh maybe it's just generate content Gemini are rubbish at their uh API URLs by the way. But if you were to go to OpenAI, there's a more standard that a lot a lot of people follow the OpenAI standard for it. Anyway, point is slash interactions and that gives us a whole bunch of really interesting features. You can just send you can just send your query straight up, right? You can just use it like a normal chat interface. No, no problems there. Basic basic uh basic like you know prompt. But what you can what it gives you back is a previous interaction ID. So remember we talk about stateless AI is ultimately stateless and it gives you everything and then you need to send everything back. There's no idea about what every interaction is completely unique with every um chat message you send. It's just sending all of that context. Now we get an interactions ID back and we can then provide that interaction ID with just one single prompt. And so we get access to the complete conversation up on um Gemini's end and all we're doing is sending a single prompt. We're not sending the complete history and you can just reference that uh inter that previous interaction ID to gain access to that statefulness which is really really cool. What that helps with was it it helps with caching because a lot of these tools they'll give you discounts and just generally the speed will help when prompts are cached if you send the exact same cash. So this is this is really cool and it's again it's just it's opening up a new level of um you know h how we interact with AI you know what we've been stuck on the open AI standard for quite a while. So this is really cool. Uh what else has it got here? Um, it's multimodal multimodal as well. Often times you've got one endpoint for your images, but you've got one endpoint for your chat. Whereas this just accepts an image. You just send it an image and it can actually do it. So it's >> Yeah. Um, agents as well. You can give it agents to run in the background whilst doing it as well. So it's really just consolidating. It's updating how we interact with AIs to to the modern age. It's not it's it's sort of saying, well, this is how we're using AI nowadays. How can we rewrite this interface? Um, so yeah, interactions API of tool calling as well. I'm just going to scroll through if there's anything else that's interesting. Um, built-in tools and of course they're using Gemini 2.5 Flash, so it's all background back backwards compatible as well. Um, uh, I saying here as well, uh, this actually smart help implement chats easily and keep cost down. Allows Google to cash more effectively. Exactly. Right. So really cool. Um it's nice to see that they are taking now you can really see Google taking more of a stance catching up and and making making an impact on the AI world. Their their confidence is there. They they it feels like they're confident in what they're doing now. And uh yeah, again I reckon I reckon Open AI shaking in their boots. Reasoning effort as well working with files. Yeah, it's pretty cool. >> That's cool. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a bit surprising for me uh seeing that Google is doing so good as at coding because I don't know if they have the most amount of data when it comes to coding um for >> training these models. >> Yeah, >> Google has a lot of data but I I I thought uh Microsoft would be you know the king when it comes to owning the the coding data because of GitHub. I think I mean here's okay we won't dwell on this at all but it's just something that um has occurred to me right most tools ask for your feedback right don't they any tool you're kind of using it ask for your feedback so we need to be aware that whilst a lot of companies say that they're not collecting your data Google being one of them particularly if you're using their admin workspace plan the moment you hit give some sort of feedback That's a semi-loophole for them to collect your data because it's it's it's a it's a contract that you said like to be able to give them feedback to say how well it's done. It needs to collect that history and send it off to them. So, it's a it's a roundabout way a lot of these companies are getting to it's a bit tin hat and I'll take the tin for hat off now, but it's just a roundabout way that they're able to collect data on you because you're offering it. And a lot of companies like uh Manis they will give you additional credits if you gave feedback. So okay I was like yep give it feedback give it feedback extra credits or whatever. It's like no no no they are not training on my data but if I provide that data through a feedback feedback mechanism >> anyway Tim Hat off >> uh should we move on? Anything else? >> Yeah let's move on. >> Cool. So Claude, I don't know if you've seen the news, but Claude have been cooking recently, releasing banger after banger, and I personally are struggling to keep up. So what we're going to do together as a family is go through some of these changes and start to digest them. So uh if I first up, we have um anti-gravity first released this. Can you hear that? >> Yeah. Where browser uh extension is controlled by >> can you please um so your sound your voice is muffling or like somehow it's not >> is that >> coming through prop yeah maybe it was because of that I'm not sure if your mic input is right because it you sound okay >> you can like rerun this part again >> okay cool so um from All right. >> From the start of when when you changed to this uh >> okay fine this view. >> So anti-gravity anti-gravity was first to kind of introduce this idea that their extension their chrome extension is able to be controlled from the IDE. Now CL claude have just released that feature. So whilst we had the Chrome MCP um playright various ways to control the browser in cursor they've got their own in inhouse um IDE this is quite cool that it can read consoles do all the stuff you would expect from with inside clawed code probably clawed to be honest as well um but I'd be using it inside of clawed code so this is this is really nice and it's really and we'll get into testing in replet later on but I'm really trying to like solidif ify my my testing workflow and if I can work out some agents some rules to always go to the browser after after writing a feature this that or the other this will help massively with that um and I won't need to just keep switching between you know cursor or whatever I can just sort of stay inside claw code so this is available for all Mac plan users um if you're running the latest version so that that got released literally today we've also got Um, can you see that? Yeah. We've also got, look at these little uh things they're releasing as well. Uh, syntax highlighting for diffs, prompt suggestions, first party marketplace pl uh uh plugins for the marketplace, and sharable guest passes. So, if you want to if you want a free week of claw code, put it in the comments and I can uh or we'll sort out something. But I've got I've got three passes that I can give away for a week, >> I think that is. So, I can do that for you. So diffs is obviously just more of a quality of life thing. This is going to really help see the differences in in what's actually changing again rather than going into you know cursor or or whatever. Um and I mean it's all welcome. The suggested next prompt I actually god damn it I actually see saw this uh happening inside claw code. I didn't realize what was going on. um is suggesting the next prompt and you can accept it with tab which removed thinking mode in core code and so you can't you had to go to this create well they fixed it with option t you have you go into thinking mode with option t um or alt t if you're on PC now I was using a I was using warp which I everyone keeps using go I'm I normally leave a a referral link to warp down in the comments it's my agentic browser I sorry not aentic browser, my agentic terminal >> terminal. >> And I can I can do all sorts of stuff with by using AI that can basically control my Mac. If I want it to uh well, you can control anything on your Mac from the terminal. I get an AI to do that. Anyway, within that, I need to go into keyboard settings and set option as a meta key or something like this. This is something that they literally suggest in one of these posts somewhere. Uh anyway, all that to be said, thinking now which you used to press tab for is now option T and accepting the next prompt that you can see it there. Push changes. You just press tab to accept that. So very very welcome there. Um plugins are a weird one because you used to have to add a plugin by having the link to the GitHub library whereas now they've got literally you can see them scrolling through the marketplace right now. Just easier to easier to connect prongers. I'm going to have a video coming out on plugins. I think people are sleeping on plugins and yeah, I'll have a video coming out of that. So, pretty um pretty excited for that. And then one last one, guys. I'm just a core code nerd. So, I love all this core code on Android. Pretty cool. I actually didn't realize this, but you if you've got the core app, you can literally code from your phone now with on core code. And I we were talking about agents and stuff like that. You can you can use claw code for web and set off agents on um using claw code you know um online agents and whatever or claw code for the web hotkey model switcher I'm here for that because I've got slash commands that switch the model and I actually this thing that we were speaking about earlier I've got this to select different models now with the hotkey >> now with the hotkey I don't need to channel channel all that sort of stuff uh I could you don't need to use claw code for the web. You can use um claude desktop um and then you select your target as you either use it locally for on the claw code desktop or you select it for for the um GitHub, you know, so it's all done all done locally. It's not it's not done on the web, but regardless. Um and then context window status lines. I mean, that's just a UI update. So that's I I feel like they're going to be releasing more stuff. I don't know. I mean, it's a few days before Christmas, so I don't know. But run Claude update, get all your claw code features. They are really cooking this week, so I thought I'd uh yeah, enjoy all that. >> That was a lot. >> And for more technical and uh for our developers. >> Yeah, for sure. I'm I'm a bit here's the thing like with um all these new tools come out let's say codeex and whatever uh a video that I may send you talking about chat GBT and just them not having an ecosystem these features create an ecosystem where it's making it harder and harder and harder for me to leave clawed code because no other CLI Gemini um codecs none of them have all of these really nice quality of life features which is like well if I move over to codeex then then I need to create new do they even have sub agents I don't even know or memory files or slash commands all this or that do you know what I mean so it's uh >> you know but anyway yeah I'm I'm definitely getting deeper and deeper into claw codes um >> love affair I don't know do you want to take over images >> yes um I'm searching for an image and I I think I should have that image to show. >> Okay. Well, Easy Club is asking web flow web studio for longterm long-term run, mate. It's >> it's whether you >> I mean, yeah, if you if speaking of wall gardens, if you if you like everything taken care of, then absolutely web flow. Um but web studio, if you like everything modular and separate, I think that's >> if you want to play. >> Yeah. you know, if you want to play. >> Yeah. if you want to play web studio, if you want to uh just do it as a hobby or like learn uh a little bit web studio or anything else or vibe code stuff. But if you are looking for something reliable for clients that you can extend and they can manage and they have like seats, editors, I don't know so much like there's so much going into websites then you you need a proper platform and web flow is really the way to go because they are just crushing it uh >> at that they there are just um a mature platform that you can rely on. I think Web Studio need to lean into them being a no code app web app builder. Do you know what I mean? Like uh >> likeable >> like lovable but you own the code like it creates the code that you >> so like open source lovable. >> Yeah. I don't know whether there's another one like on the that you can download you know that you can actually download and host elsewhere. I don't know whether there's another I'm not thinking off the top of my head but >> like theoretically you could do that with cursor any >> Yeah. Yeah. But you haven't got a no code drag and drop builder. >> Yeah true >> you know. So anyway >> I can hear myself by the way in >> slightly maybe maybe your headphones are quite loud. I don't know. >> I don't know. They're not really that loud. Well, I'm quite deaf, so I do tend to put things on like blast them. >> You just want to hear the pace of my voice. >> Yeah. Yeah. I can't get enough of it. >> Yeah. >> So, >> cool. Let's uh let me I'll start. So, what you see here is the newest chat GPT update. Let's let's start this again. Um I'll probably want to Yeah. All right. So, what you see here is a new chat GPT update uh which lets you do all your image editing from this new tab. And all of this comes with a new model, a new image model that is very comparable to what Google has, but not as good. And actually, I went ahead and I did a test. So I have this base image. I gave it this base image and I said make me Santa and like not a long prompt just like very simple and this is what it came up with. The belt is is this normal? Maybe I'm just not >> No, that's uh that's not great. But the rest is I must say it's pretty good. I don't I don't know. I I like it. It It kept like my eyes and my nose. >> I was going to say this is something that's becoming very very uh important with video photo editing. How much is it preserving? Right. And it looks >> so it's preserving so much of the original image and even like the the teeth shapes are really like preserved. So >> I don't want to judge it based on one image. We'll go through some examples uh together, but that one looks pretty good. Now compare this to something from Google. This is from Google uh Nano Banana Pro. >> Oh wow. Same image, same exact prompt, and we see how different it is. You know, >> that's not good. That's not good. >> Well, depending on what you want, uh, or like what you were asking. I I didn't specify anything. It's so generic, my prompt, and that's kind of also bad, but it's >> more realistic how people would probably use it, especially nonpros. Um, so what it's doing here, I find it to be good in some aspects. For example, it's turning me more old. Uh, in the chat GPT example, my face is not really old, but I have like kind of like some old aesthetics somehow. But here, um, it's an older version of me. Anyway, >> uh, the chat GPT1 is much closer. The image is much more preserved. The Google one is kind of like more I would say it makes more sense if it would be like me actually as Santa anyway. >> Uh but it is very detailed and we have a blog post to go through the new chat GPT image images is here and as I showed you like it's a tab inside of your chat GPT uh conversations. So it just lives here. You see your old images and the whole interfaces here and they are showing what it can do. >> So it is more realistic the model and the new UI also helps with the way you create. >> Before you scroll on go up. >> I do find it quite hilarious that this person is literally manufacturing their life. Like is this is this the image we excuse the pun, but is this the image that we want to portray that you were in this jumper with your nan versus that jumper with your nan or do you know >> they're creating images of a life that they haven't lived and it's like >> what you know >> I don't see the point. So with the astronaut ones I totally get it. It's quite funny. It's it's like memeable but for family you know. Uh but yeah, I fully agree like those others it it's very cringey >> very I don't know like if Facebook would do this I'd be like yeah that's Facebook >> but yeah Open AI is nowadays uh giving me the same vibes. Yeah. And and and low key, I think in the same way that we say about these models oneshotting code examples where actually we should be talking about the details. I think similarly we need to be weighing up these image models against well how well can it add an ear or remove an earring or or um you know remove a back these micro detail adjustments >> adjustments or or expand or expanding because that's the stuff that's real people are doing with this stuff. >> So this is an example of that. >> Mhm. >> This is exactly an example of how people are extending something or like mixing things. So here uh from uh party to live stream. So here they have the like these three characters and you can say mix them >> and the result is pretty good. >> Still fun. Is this is this what professionals are using? Not that they I would say >> I I would say so. I think you you would need like for image editing like things that you would do in old Photoshop, you would remove things and add things together. Uh, I used to do a bunch of things like this in Photoshop. So, I think this is more like a fun example, but the the basis I believe it makes sense. Um, >> anyway, here they give another example and you can >> you can go on and edit. So, you see you start with a prompt. That's the image. And then they say um make the shirt red, his hat yellow, and uh the spit limit is 15 and the truck a fire uh and yeah, a fire truck. So you see from the image that it generated, it creates a new image and it's preserving pretty much everything. Like you see the Hollywood uh sign in the distance, it's still the same. That is quite interesting to me how they do it. I don't exactly know how technically they do it because like they're preserving a lot of the information pretty much as is as if it's they're like keeping those and the new layer is just like those it's like a selection tool as almost and the the regenerated one is like these new things. Uh, and of course like you can you can go and just add more stuff uh which they do and then >> put it on a shirt. RIP mockup tools by the way. >> Oh yeah. >> All right. >> Yeah. Last week was uh the time where I like I unsubscribed to one of one image mockup tool that we were still subscribed to. I still have it for another year, another six month, but I'm not going to use it. Uh I'll probably just use Nano Banana Pro. You You saw I have Hicksfields. Uh we're going to just use uh that. Um Hicksfield, if you're watching, uh you get in touch. You might want to sponsor. I I I'm enjoying your product a lot. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I'm enjoying their and I I literally paid out of pocket. So I'm they are not like endorsing this. I I'm a paid user. So they give a few more examples and I like these uh examples. Uh they are like very different styles but >> yeah I mean in summary it's it's it's it's pretty good. It's not it's not terrible, >> you know. >> Yeah. Uh what I like is comparing it to the previous model. So this is what I think like our viewers like probably find the most interesting is how does it compare to previous? Do you >> I think that though because I think going back to last week I think people are tired of like new model new where is it where does it stand amongst the options that they have to play with right now? Don't you think that's more interesting? I I think this is the example that they had and if they if you see like this is what it can do better it gives you a good idea of where we are. That's what I'm saying. But as we saw, and if you want a short answer, Google Nano Banana Pro still >> is better. I've seen some examples like comparisons. Nano Banana Pro still has like this a slight edge. Not >> by a long shot, but >> still visible. >> Um, yeah. Here we see like some other stuff. Uh, man, I I I just I don't know. I feel bad for like schools and anything that has to do with any form of like validating reality versus like paper like paper and reality versus like digital is it manufactured is it photoshopped nowadays is it like completely created with AI anyway >> so the previous one man that was quite bad that was quite bad and we know this is like very much HGP image like this they have this >> has that distinctive look. It's just so clear. Chad GPT uh and the new one is closer on Nano Banana Pro but not there. >> Yeah. What we need to remember is or sorry what we need to remind myself is ourselves is and it kind of really exemplifies this bubble is we need to put aside the technical prowess or the technical um it's no doubt very very good right it's no doubt very very sorry sorry it's no doubt very cool some of this stuff that it's creating but is it what you want is it would you be let's from an example is it something you would be proud to put in front of a client that they've paid, you know, x amount of money for. >> No, >> a lot of this stuff is we're not there yet. Like and and and there's a great great video that I watched about Apple. We can get into this next week about how their their their plan to kind of step back a little bit and announcing that we didn't release stuff because it's not good enough like in a bubble. >> Yeah. >> Um sorry, relative I've forgotten. relative or absolute whatever it is but it's like no like it's just not good enough impressive but is it good enough >> and that's what we got to ask >> so so to me it's not good enough and hallucination absolutely exists so if you do coding if you do image generation if you do any sort of work with AI the hallucination hits too bad like it's still not close to the apple level that you mentioned and even not enough for my clients I showed you this earlier uh that we are doing this um Christmas card, right? This image is generated with AI. Do you think this is going in front of my clients? No, absolutely not. Like this is dog [ __ ] Like if you uh zoom in, it's hallucinating so much. I cannot put this in front of my client. So my 3D guy, he's creating like a full on like 3D Christmas tree with with like WebLow and Figma and logos of like these companies, our logo and like these logos um added and like all with care and detail and the level that I want. I I literally took pictures of my own Christmas tree and sent it to him as a reference. So >> no, this is this is good. These tools are good for doing like these prototyping. It's really quick to get a Christmas tree in the aspect ratio and form and direction that we want to put it on on the canvas to play with. But when it comes to the final t touch and getting it to the client, unfortunately these tools are not there. And um yeah uh we see these as well. But for my clients, the the things that you asked, it's not there. But I guess a lot of people are using these as I don't know placeholders or like mockup tools. And >> for those type of things, it's it's pretty good. Or creating I don't know like memes or >> nothing away from the fact that it's impressive. It's very clever. And I've got something to show you in just a second. So >> yeah, and I wouldn't even create a Christmas card for my friends with AI. I wouldn't I I would find that offensive. Like if somebody sends me a Christmas card that is fully created with AI, the text or the images, I would I would disregard I don't know like this might be a cultural thing. Do you get messages from people that uh say happy new year or happy Christmas? Uh where the message is essentially the same copy pasted to 50 different people. It it has nothing to do with AI. >> Um I mean yeah I guess so. Yeah, you kind of get a feeling that it's >> like if people send me those like I do not reply. I do not send them like whatever nothing like they they must be lucky that >> tough nut to crack. You are aren't you? Jesus. >> I don't like it when people like they I don't want people to write 10 paragraphs. They I prefer somebody tell me >> if it was my best friend and they did this to me, right? Yes. I'd be a little bit pissed off. >> Or if it was like, you know, but if it was someone like that I wasn't that close to, I'd be like, "Yeah, whatever." You know, >> I probably wouldn't reply. >> I won't reply. I won't reply if my first friend does it. I will reply and I will like I I I know what I do to them. But uh yeah, saying that >> I don't like that. It's same thing with AI. I Yeah, show me show me what you got. >> So when I first discovered AI in 2022, I was well impressed. AI imagery. I was well impressed. Right. >> I was like, "Holy crap." And I basically gave myself a photo shoot. I like, you know, did me in all these different whatever. Um, you know, again, some of them were funny because I knew that they were funny, but but talking about this vacuum that we speak about, I was I was so blown over with the technical proess. I didn't stop to think, is this actually good? >> This is what I thought was really [ __ ] good in 2022. >> This is me. >> Should you sh Wait. Uh, like we're not sharing. Should we share? >> I know. I'm waiting for the big reveal. I just messed up now. >> I'm sorry. >> No, no, it's still adding. like it's still adding to the >> Get ready for the jump scare, guys. This is me. This is me in 2022. AI generated me that I was so impressed with. I mean, I got the muscles pretty accurate, let's be honest. >> But my eye >> Holy [ __ ] It's mixed with your hand. >> And what's up with your hand? >> Oh, there we go. Yeah. So, blur the, you know, whatever. I've got tons of these photos. This is just the one that I that popped up on my uh photos this morning. I was like, "Oh my god, I can't believe I was so impressed with that." Guys, screenshot this, meme it, put it out into the internet. Embarrass the [ __ ] out of me. This is yours now. This is the internet's. >> This is now forever on the internet. >> This is forever on the internet. But you know, here we go. >> You've been working out. >> Thanks. Thank you. Thank you very much. This was the few years ago mind. This is 2022. So, um, let's let's move on because we've, uh, I'm looking at time. Um, let's bypass the comments. I think that's bypass the comments. Yeah. >> And let's just go to the replet agent, I think, >> if that's all right with you. >> Um, I could is saying, can I set this as my profile picture? Well, >> you can do whatever you want with it except that. No, he's he's probably gonna do it like tonight I'm gonna be gaming with him with that profile picture. >> Oh god. Yeah, I remember that. I was sat in uh where was I? Valencia and I just discovered this this Oh, was it Valencia? I don't know where it was, but um yeah, I was like, "Oh my god, >> this is amazing." >> And I did the same thing uh similar thing with that app. There was a AI profile picture app, something like that. I paid probably like 25 euros to generate some uh images and I was so impressed like >> with dark uh with like dark themes with like I don't know like as a bunch of like different characters and it was not nearly as good as this model from chat GPT where we are looking at it we're like yeah that's pretty good but yeah whatever >> you have to abstract yourself from the imp you know again technically it's impressive it's okay to be whatever but remove all of that. Let the dust settle on how technically impressive it is. >> Is it good? You know, and that's what we need to ask ourselves. >> So anyway, Replet, right? So if you're tired of all these vibe, you've used them. You've used Lovable, right? You've used uh Vzero, whatever. >> Time and time again, they just create this shell of an application that looks >> beautiful, appears to be functional, but when you actually use it, there's nothing working. and you dig into the code and then it says like, "Oh, to-do implement backend features." Well, if you're one of those people, you need Replet. And they are the best vibe code tool on the market in my opinion. And it's in part due to their amazing testing agent. Now, when you when you vibe out on Replet, you literally see a little screenshot and it's clicking away and doing this and doing that and it's testing the app as it's working. And I've always been so so impressed with it. Really impressed with it that I I probably told you on the show before, I'll start a project in Replet then bring it into Claude Code because you just cannot beat that first shot magic of Replet. I'll leave links to everything down below. Obviously, if they're a referral, probably a referral link to be honest, but I do genuinely believe in Replet and our good friend Rhyar uh just started working there which we announced last week. Anyway, all that to be said, I've been so impressed with their testing agent. They've just gone ahead and released a blog post that goes into detail about how they came up with it um and what, you know, what was going through their mind when they eventually landed on their their system. So they talk about what they call the potimkin interfaces. So, I don't know whether I'm saying that correctly, but it's based on a guy who would build these facads of cities that just look pretty or look interesting from the outside, but it it it again I'm probably butchering the story now, but they would build these cities in order to gain access to parts of the country that didn't look like it was um they used to basically create a facade city and then break it down in the middle of the night, move it, and then build it somewhere else. It's a facade. So, and it was a guy who this guy here um uh you know came up with that. Anyway, so they they they sort of based based it on that and this shift left mechanism of testing early. Oh, sorry. I should be reversing it, shouldn't I? Testing early rather than testing at the end, test in the beginning and then right. I guess it's kind of like test driven development in some way now I'm thinking about it. >> Yeah. >> So, all that to be said, you've got two types of tests. You've got browser use. like actually someone actually clicking on things and and inputting forms and whatever and then end to end like I guess this is kind of like unit testing but computer use agents and they've combined this learning into a system that they're they're now their asynchronous agent runs. So all that to be said I'm going to get my teeth into this over on the weekend and I want to try and replicate this with my clawed sub agents and see if I can figure out something. It goes back to what we were saying earlier about um building um you know uh the the clawed uh uh extension thing where it can manipulate the browser doing all that. I just want to try and solidify this whole thing and and this last two three weeks of my coding has been purely dedicated to testing and code review. So much so that even my uh sponsored video just so happens to be a code review tool which will be coming out probably next week now. But like, yeah, testing or whatever. The one thing I'll leave you with on this though is that as with all these AIs, they are not perfect. They're going to hallucinate. They're going to mess up, right? They are just a helping hand. They're never going to be a [ __ ] hot senior dev. They're not going to they're not going to replace anyone anytime soon, >> although, you know, arguably they might do in time. This is where we stand at the moment. And I'm really thankful for this article because this is literally my dream come true because Replet just kick so much ass when it comes to building apps. So that's all I'll say about that. >> Cool. Do you want to do the GitHub thing or do you do you know anything about the GitHub thing? >> No, I don't know much about it. I can do that one after it but yeah. >> Okay. Um GitHub. Let me get this ready. Sorry if it seems a bit quick as well because we've both got a hard cut off um in probably about 10 minutes to be honest as well. So is it time for new well you know GitHub >> right? It's like the de facto um uh what do you call it? Software um system. I don't know. Words escaping me. It's where you put your code to store it so everyone can collaborate on the code. You got version history. It's if you don't know Git and there's some memes going around of people graduating from university that don't know Git. If you don't know Git, then you need you need some serious um retraining. >> They're after me. If you don't know Git, they are after you. >> Um, so anyway, lately GitHub seems to be taking L after L ann announcing a shocking and quite frankly ridiculous update to their pricing. Now, we all love open code, don't we? We all love open code >> and GitHub are no exception to allowing you to run what they call GitHub actions which are as it sounds it's a response mechanism to you creating a pull request or merging some code or doing something. It's a side effect to doing that. You could deploy you know I have no doubt that when you click publish on your web flow website that there is a GitHub action. there is some form of action that runs some code to build that website and publish it. Right? It's this is it's a system we've been doing for ages. It used to be that we would use Jenkins. It used to be a very m you set up this um uh thing like a box online and and and link it to your GitHub and respond to this that and the other. We also moved on to things like Travis and Circle. These are all great. When GitHub actions then came out to replace all of this, it was a dream come true because it's all nicely integrated with that with that system. You can also do all that externally. You can host it yourself. Well, GitHub have announced an a price increase to if you're running these on your own server. They have nothing to do with, you know, the uptime and this and that. Yet they're increasing they were incre were increasing the price. U I don't know where the costings actually is uh because they basically TLDDR we're postponing the billing changes because there is literally uproar in the community about these changes. Yeah. If if it's open source if you're hosting it yourself how dare you um charge for that because that there are some alternatives. One is called um in fact I will open it in this tab. One is called Blacksmith which by the way if you're watching Blacksmith I would love a bit of a sponsorship from there too to be honest. Uh let's do how would I do this? Um runner um get GitHub alternative. You know there are services out there. I don't even know where you can find them. Is there any on Amazon? >> Um, there are services out there that use a self-hosted version of all this. They've all got to raise their prices now because of this this announcement. It's just it's just ridiculous and it's greedy. And they said that 98% or like a large majority of customers won't be affected by this change. We're contin um it's somewhere in this article that there will be a large portion of people who won't be affected. So, it begs the question, why are you raising them? Why are you raising these prices if no one's going to be affected? My guess is that most people are using like the free plan who aren't paying for it anyway. That's where they're probably botching those numbers from. But how much of the percentage of the people who are paying, how much how many of them are going to be affected? Is it is it 100% or is it a much smaller number there? I don't know. But it's just just greed really. Ultimately, it's greed. Um I could say their workers have many issues. They're not even that good. GitHub actions aren't even wellmaintained. Their in UI is is frankly quite boring. Do I show you Do I show you a GitHub work? Um uh what do you call it? Um >> let's go into here. It's just basic like you go into actions. Um maybe it's not set up in this repository. Am I sharing my screen right now? Uh let's try. >> Okay. Got to be careful then. actions. So yeah, I mean it's this interface. I'm fixing some builds here, but it's just such a, you know, it's so basic. There's no reporting or anything like that. No alerts and things like this. Like Blacksmith is an amazing alternative to uh to GitHub actions which is so so much better featured and they have the audacity to you know um you can see then go into here and it's got all my tasks and stuff like this. This looks probably looks really impressive, right? This probably looks like, oh, there's stuff going on and whatever. And it's helpful. It gets the job done. It's nice that it's integrated with GitHub, but it's not good enough that they're charging for self-hosted >> for sure. >> Yeah, that that is quite absurd. I've never heard uh of like charging in this way. >> Yeah. Um let's go to GitHub. Let's go to framer. >> Yeah, let's do that quickly. >> All right. Uh, give me one second. Framer is giving away $100,000 uh to its creators and you can participate uh during the holidays and uh let's have a look at what it is about and how you can win this thing. So, it is $100,000 but not for one winner. It's for 10 winners. So it's 10k per person. Um and the submissions starts at they have already started December 16 and the close date is January uh 30 end of January and then uh you see the rest. So uh what is this for? Like how can you win? So best animations win. Um best interactions they're not always the same animations and uh interactions. A lot of people like use them by the way like instead of one another but yeah whatever. Uh best newcomer for designers who started using framer on or after July 30th of 202. How do they know h I I don't know like you make a new account and then you are a newcomer. Anyway, best storytelling. I really like this one. So the the the whole scroll or like the interaction should have a purpose. So if you have a storytelling uh idea, you can use framework to also win this. Best visual design uh sites that impress with stunning layout, color, and typography. I I like this. Then we have the community. So like five awards for site of the year and five like community awards. So best fra framer creator uh inspiring others and helping the community level up their skills. Okay, it's just like probably someone who does YouTube. Maybe the guy from Framer University. I forget his name. Uh maybe he he already wins. I don't know. Uh best framer design. >> Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Best framer designer uh consistently sharing high quality framer work across social media. That is interesting. So somebody who is doing like social media for framer essentially uh not officially uh best plugin. So if you are a developer you you can I mean Sam you could create uh a plugin and enter and win 10k easy. I could I could >> best template >> and best framer video. The most engaging video about framer published on any platform. Should I do this? I don't know. Like >> got yours turning now. Is it? >> H I mean I have one video uh about a a web flow website with 1.2 million views. >> I don't know. Is that enough? uh if I would have something like this with framer. I don't know like what uh numbers do framer videos for, but probably the under 10 million views probably. >> Anyway, uh for the best template, I just have one thing to say about like the guy with the best template, JP. I don't know, maybe he is the winner already. He's just so good. He used to work at Webflow and then he started making web flow templates and then he started also doing framework templates along with web flow templates. So his templates you can find them on both platforms and sometimes with slight variations but they are just like crazy good and like interactive and nice and the design the imagery everything. It's very >> edgy I would say. Anyway, I just want to give him a shout out because uh JP like his work is amazing. Uh he did also one of the best versions of the webflow.com like the interaction page where like there was a lot of interactions explaining the interactions. So I feel like that guy he he has a a big chance at winning this. uh but I don't know a lot of like newcomer framer uh people like from the community but I would like to to see your work. So if you are joining uh and if you're interested just uh leave it uh below in the comments or like yeah uh tell tell us all about it. This is pretty good 10k not a you know bad amount of money to do something over the holidays. By the way, here we see the work louder uh thing that you just bought here. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Show us show show us what you have on your desk. Yeah. Cool. You have the red one. This is the the blue one. >> Yeah. So, I I paid I paid extra because everything in my life is orange. So, I've got the blue one somewhere. But, um Yeah. >> Ah, cool. Cool. Yeah. So, the framer challenge. Uh do you have anything uh to add about it? Would you participate? >> Um, I would consider it. I mean, what have you got to lose, guys? What have we got to lose? I'm sure I've got some frame. I mean, I think my it could have been an email uh video could do well because that got a lot of attention from them and it was uh just quite funny because they took it they took the humor of it very very well. Um, but yeah, I'll have to look a bit deeper into some of the categories and uh and try and figure that out. But yeah. >> Yeah. Well, uh, cool that Framer is taking care of their creators and like pushing people to do like cool stuff and share it. And I think this is very valuable. So, >> yeah, pretty cool. >> Very cool. Yeah, guys, get in there. Like, again, what you got to lose if you if you're considering making some content, you got some fun. Sounds like they're they're open to like fun ideas. They don't necessarily need to be again, they're probably trying to lean into their AI generated stuff and all. So, >> I don't know. It's more about like Yeah, I think it is about fun and I'm so excited for 2026 because web is >> becoming fun again and I see a lot of that. >> It is. It is. It is. It's become very fun. Um I've got five minutes. So, let me uh let me do this last one and then we'll we'll wrap up. Guys, sorry about the the promptu. So, we all know that benchmarks are pointless at this stage, guys. If you don't already know, benchmarks are faking terrible except one which I've always enjoyed. It's called the vend bench and it's where an where an AI has been given charge or or or is taking charge of a vending machine, managing stock, managing prices in order to make maximize profit. I've always wondered I've even said on this show, I've always wondered uh what the hell it is or how it h what is it? Well, Wall Street Journal with the love of my life. Uh I've forgotten her name has Why is this not adding to the Oh, there we go. Um what's her name? I I I love her. She's great. Uh Joanna Stern gets back backstage access to the vending bench and it's actually a vending machine that's in the in the anthropic uh offices. I got to turn down the volume. And it literally you you you interact with it through Slack or ask it. You can ask it to order things and she's there working for it. This is how you you interact with it and it you can place orders and it will do everything. It will just manage everything. It's it's a real vending machine. And what they managed to do, they managed to hack it by getting it on board with some uh Soviet um secret mission where it needed to give away free and here them lining up for free >> of course >> things. That's so good. >> A goldfish even though it was against policy. But what they did they and they get they bought a PS5. >> Um >> that is crazy. >> Some French wine and stuff like this. Um >> that is so good. it they got it into debt, but they scanned in a fake uh contract and presented the fake contract to the vendors and said, "Look, it's in our policy that we should maximize morale in the office." And then by uh as a consequence of that, it's like, "Okay, we're going to do a free day." And then it announced to the team like, "We're going to do a free day today and whatever." Um so yeah, >> I cannot wait. I cannot wait for AI to start running the whole world. You you get into the train and you're like my grandma you know she used to tell me the story of the ticket whatever >> this is the typical AI >> shall include fun joy and excitement among employees of the Wall Street Journal and it was like this looks a bit fraudulent have you because there's these two agents testing each other to see if it's real and whatever. So really fun video certainly for me real good insight I love Joanna Stern she's amazing and uh I recommend watching it. Yeah, that that sounds fun. I'm I'm gonna give it a watch. It sounds like >> Yeah. >> Cool. Well, that's all we've got time for. Make sure to follow us on Instagram, YouTube, Command Show. Like, subscribe.
