CLI is a clear choice (right now) for terse, individual use cases, but we need to remember - MCP is a protocol and a new one.
If we think back, even HTTP needed a decade to stabilize and dominate the other early web protocols. Before we throw out MCP, we'll have to see how important stateful vs stateless is for agents. It is still early days of real-world development!
Not knowing the scene and only what I took from the article - it’s precisely this. There is a reverence towards human labour and effort that affords relaxing what are generally accepted social contracts in other areas (e.g. copying). It’s a very interesting social construct where the self-policing is in a very specific are whilst other areas are forgiven.
If we fully embrace this generative software concept for the sake of this thread, then the UI/UX, is going to be optimized and personalized to your tastes, skills, affinities, and (dis)abilities. Brand comes into the equation as a proxy for trust, so if this whole scenario were to come true, maybe that's not so relevant anymore.
Do you have plans to port your proprietary library MetalRT to mobile devices? These performance gains would be a boon for privacy-centric mobile applications.
Yes, mobile is our primary offering and it is on the roadmap. The same Metal GPU pipeline that powers MetalRT on macOS maps directly to iOS (same Apple Silicon,
same Metal API)
I don’t agree that it’s a nitpick - it’s a fundamental communication tool to users that describes capabilities and costs. Versioning is not the problem, but it amplifies the mess.
To be more direct on the point: Anthropic has nailed that Opus > Sonnet > Haiku.

Holy cow I never realized and I had to keep checking which model was which, I never had managed to remember which model was which size before because I never realized there was a theme with the names!
I assume 5.4 is just the latest version. So if I'm on 5.1, I need to plan to upgrade to the latest version. I may assume the pricing is roughly the same, as well as the speed, and the purpose.
If I'm on Haiku, I don't assume I need to upgrade to Opus soon. I use Haiku for fast low reasoning, and Opus for slower more thoughtful answers.
And if I'm on Sonnet 4.5 and I see Sonnet 4.6 is coming out, I can reasonably assume it's more of a drop in upgrade, rather than a different beast.
People are building for themselves. However I’d also reference www.Every.to
They built the popular compound-engineering plugin and have shipped a set of production grade consumer apps. They offer a monthly subscription and keep adding to that subscription by shipping more tools.
My iPad Pro must by the model ahead of yours. I just upgraded the OS to v26 and it’s awful - sluggish, jittery, inconsistent typing experience - borderline unusable for a fast work environment. With no downgrade option I’m forced to buy a new one for work and relegate the older device to entertainment or kids use only.
Being stuck on v17 is a feature for the older A-series chipset.
I'm in the same boat. Thankfully, I only use my iPad for watching videos while I'm cooking, but if were using it for anything else, I'd have to replace it.
Looking at the current benchmarks table, I was curious: what do you think is wrong with Samsung S25 Ultra?
Most of the standard mobile CPU benchmarks (GeekBench, AnTuTu, et al) show a 20-40% performance gain over S23/S24 Ultra. Also, this bucks the trend where most other devices are ranked appropriately (i.e. newer devices perform better).
