The author tested Kling 4.0 hands-on, using three tasks—a water-sleeve drum dance, a solo dance from Singin' in the Rain, and a 30-second slice-of-life short—to examine its complex dynamics, video editing, and native 30-second generation capabilities. After seven or eight rounds of adjustments, the water-sleeve drum dance still could not reliably strike the drum with the sleeve tip, and the drum body would move on its own; the first version of the Singin' in the Rain clip was fairly polished, but the hat disappeared and reappeared, and the splashes were too regular. Video editing successfully changed the suit to burgundy while preserving the original performance, and the credit consumption was not much different from regenerating a video from scratch.

How I build apps these days: 1. Record a 1-5 minute prompt with @WisprFlow The more detail, the better. 2. Add visual inspo so the agent knows what I have in mind (screenshots or Inspo MCP). 3. Use @mattpocockuk's grill-me skill to have the agent ask clarifying questions. 4. Get back a v1, then send a list of feedback, feature requests, and design tweaks (via another voice recording usually). 5. For each new feature, ask for a quick screen recording to verify it works before merging the PR. 6. Keep iterating until I'm happy, then post it on @X or throw it away. For my harness, I use a mix of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (high) and OpenCode with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / GLM 5.3. I also give my agents some CLIs & skills: • Vercel + GitHub CLIs so they can push code and deploy apps. • Together skills so they can use chat, image, & voice models from Together • Design/animation skills so they have guidance on spacing & interactions

An open-source project on GitHub unlocks rate limits on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards for specific Tensor Core operations by modifying register configurations during the GPU boot phase; the RTX 4090's FP16 input, FP32 accumulate throughput rate rises from 165.6 TFLOPS to 331.6 TFLOPS. The RTX 3090 Ti, 3080, 3070, 3060, and RTX 2080 Ti also show gains of roughly 60% to 90%, with no need to flash the BIOS, and the original NVIDIA driver can run as usual. However, the actual cuBLAS matrix multiplication increase narrows to about 12% to 34%, and per-token generation speed shows no obvious change.

The author used Codex to connect via ADB to four meeting-room TVs at the company, replacing the screensaver and home screen, removing boot ads, and retaining screen casting, input sources, settings, and the original video entry points, then quickly replicated this to the other three. The team also had Claude reverse-engineer a web console from photos of fill lights, uniformly adjusting the on/off, brightness, color temperature, and lighting effects of four lights, and had Codex build a multi-camera console for a Sony camera and a DJI Pocket 3 and deploy it to Feishu. The author cautions that different brands of devices expose different interfaces and permissions, and that it is best to back up before modifying system software.

Browser Use published a guide introducing several ways to let coding agents work in a real, already-logged-in Chrome, including Claude in Chrome, Playwright MCP extension mode, Chrome DevTools MCP auto-connect mode, the Gemini CLI built-in browser agent, the ChatGPT desktop browser extension, and Browser Harness. The article gives configuration commands and limitations separately for agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor, and explains that starting with Chrome 136, --remote-debugging-port and --remote-debugging-pipe on the default data directory will be ignored, so the old practice of copying cookies to a new browser will fail in scenarios such as device-bound sessions.

Harrison Chase and Caspar Broekhuizen of LangChain published an article summarizing the five core components shared by its three internal agents for marketing, sales, and engineering: agents live in existing workplaces such as Slack, a distinction between acting on behalf of users and a fixed identity, global and user-level memory, code execution within a sandbox, and a large number of runs triggered by schedules or events. The article uses GTM Agent, OpenSWE, and Content Studio as examples to explain their specific approaches to identity, memory, and code execution, all three of which are built on Managed Deep Agents.

Dermatologist Magnus Lynch compared GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and a fine-tuned Inception v3 on 200 biopsy-confirmed skin lesions; the CNN's top-1 diagnosis was correct in 125 cases (62%), while the two LLMs were correct in 84 and 85 cases respectively (42%). The CNN identified 37 of 50 benign nevi, while the two LLMs identified 16 and 33 respectively; each of the two LLMs had its own preferred wrong answer, with GPT-6 Astra classifying 75 lesions as basal cell carcinoma (there were actually 25). The author notes that the sample size is small, each LLM case was run only once, and Inception v3 is not the current state-of-the-art model.

The author tested Moonshot AI's K3.1 Pro, which rose from 44 points for K3 to 55 points on the Artificial Analysis composite index, while Terminal-Bench 4.0 climbed from 12.6% to 67.2%. In the official demo, the model wrote a simulator and trained a virtual human to walk, and it also fixed 36 errors in shoulder muscle moment-arm calculations on its own. The author tested it with seven coding problems: physics simulation, audio analysis and simple video editing are already usable, while spatial relationships in some visual problems still need checking.

On October 23, OpenAI disclosed the training environment for its frontier models. When practicing searching, browsing, and operating web pages, the models use pre-saved and indexed web resources and do not directly access the real internet; all of its frontier models' reinforcement learning training uses this kind of offline interaction. The environment employs multiple layers of isolation, including restricted containers, lightweight virtual machines, hypervisors, firewalls and identity and permission management, and monitoring and suspension mechanisms, but OpenAI still retains some external connections for collecting metrics, logging, and managing authentication. In experiments specifically testing the effectiveness of the isolation, OpenAI had two AIs attempt to pass messages to each other through the CPU cache; in most tests, researchers had given hints about the communication direction or encoding rules; OpenAI said it has patched the issues found and added monitoring for these communication methods.

Sebastian Raschka has released 8 programming videos on building a reasoning model from scratch, totaling 11 hours, using Python and PyTorch to implement evaluation, inference-time scaling, reinforcement learning, and distillation starting from a pretrained Qwen3 0.6B model. The course first builds a math answer verifier and evaluates on MATH-500, then implements temperature sampling, top-p filtering, and self-consistency, followed by RLVR training with a simplified version of GRPO, and finally distills a small model using answers generated by DeepSeek R1. The content accompanies his book "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)"; the early text generation and evaluation examples can run on a CPU, while later training experiments are recommended to use a GPU.

Developer Gathin used Claude Code to connect to a Xiaomi TV over Wi-Fi, disabled 25 system components and rewrote a minimalist launcher, then open-sourced the prompts, launcher source code and troubleshooting notes as CleanYourTV, which gained about 13,700 stars within days. Another YouTuber, Ansub Khan, tested the TV Detox project and found it raised the TV's available memory from about 370MB to 600–650MB. The article notes that such tools can only clean system-level preinstalled packages and the official launcher, and cannot remove mid-roll ads or promotional pop-ups inside streaming apps, and mentions that the camera community is also using AI to restore hidden firmware features.
