I reviewed the M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. It’s the dream Mac for local AI agents. And I’ve gone local-only with Hermes. My story, with LOTS of interactive charts: https://t.co/cxYoiWvUuK https://t.co/QxnDixRBng

We've never received as many app submissions from indie developers as we are right now. Even though we can't get to them all, I feel a responsibility to spotlight the amazing work the iOS/Mac dev community does as much as possible. Keep 'em coming. 6.9K views · 31 likes · 2 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

Inspired by this, having Astra de-slop and find performance gains in my CLIs. Pointed Astra (Max) to my upcoming Apple Notes CLI and I got some *wild* speed improvements. I literally just had to copy & paste Theo's first two points. https://t.co/pxjO4tNexW https://t.co/OqMJcgi 39K views · 188 likes · 3 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

I gave Astra a portrait of me. And I watched as it used Apple Notes on my Mac to draw me. This model feels incredible. https://t.co/J088rO0l5o 125.3K views · 719 likes · 38 reposts · 19 replies Open on X →

What the heck did OpenAI put into Astra? > draw the absolute best multicolor SVG of the Roman Colosseum. Make it extra detailed with masterful brush strokes and other expert touches. 5.6 Sol (High) VS Astra (High) https://t.co/hvReWIapz3 15.6K views · 173 likes · 1 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

I built the ultimate Apple Notes CLI. Apple never made a real API for Notes. So, I reverse-engineered one. NotesCTL covers ALL the features of the Notes app. NotesCTL can: - Create notes with support for every element.
