Local users report DeepSeek V4 Flash, Qwen 3.6, and Gemma 4 at 40-200 tok/s on Macs and 3090s
Developers posted new local-model measurements for DS4, Qwen 3.6, and Gemma 4: about 40 tok/s on an M3 Ultra, 70+ tok/s on MacBooks with MPS, and 120-200 tok/s for Qwen3.6-27B on a single RTX 3090. The numbers suggest coding-capable local runs are moving from demos toward regular use.
ElevenLabs cuts Flash TTS 55%, Scribe 45%, and Agents 20% with pay-as-you-go billing
ElevenLabs lowered self-serve pricing for ElevenAPI and ElevenAgents and added pay-as-you-go billing. The biggest listed drops are to $0.05 per 1,000 tokens for Flash TTS, $0.22 for Scribe v2 speech-to-text, and $0.08 per minute for agent calls.
Anthropic doubles Claude Code 5-hour limits after SpaceX Colossus 1 compute deal
Anthropic said a SpaceX compute deal will add 300+ MW and 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs, and it doubled Claude Code 5-hour limits across paid plans. It also raised Opus API ceilings; users should still watch the unchanged weekly caps.
GPT-5.5 users report 3.3M cached tokens and 2.5x /fast credits
Engineers shared fresh measurements on GPT-5.5 cache reuse, /fast pricing, and bug-finding budgets after comparison posts for GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7 led the coding round-up. The reports suggest Codex cost and quality now swing on cache behavior and effort settings as much as on list prices.

OpenRouter launches Pareto Code with min_coding_score tiers and Nitro routing
OpenRouter released Pareto Code, which routes requests to the cheapest coding model above a chosen score threshold and can re-rank for speed with Nitro. Use the API to trade cost against latency with benchmark-based routing controls.
Firecrawl adds Highlights to /scrape with 100x fewer tokens
Firecrawl added a Highlights mode to /scrape that returns matching text, code, or tables for a query instead of full-page payloads. The release matters because the company benchmarked the feature on 10,000 URLs against Exa Highlights and aims it at lower-token agent retrieval.

comfyui
Generate images, video, and audio with ComfyUI — install, launch, manage nodes/models, run workflows with parameter injection. Uses the official comfy-cli for lifecycle and direct REST/WebSocket API for execution.
hyperframes
Create HTML-based video compositions, animated title cards, social overlays, captioned talking-head videos, audio-reactive visuals, and shader transitions using HyperFrames. HTML is the source of truth for video. Use when the user wants a rendered MP4/WebM from an HTML composition, wants to animate text/logos/charts over media, needs captions synced to audio, wants TTS narration, or wants to convert a website into a video.
kanban-orchestrator
Decomposition playbook + specialist-roster conventions + anti-temptation rules for an orchestrator profile routing work through Kanban. The "don't do the work yourself" rule and the basic lifecycle are auto-injected into every kanban worker's system prompt; this skill is the deeper playbook when you're specifically playing the orchestrator role.
