are we still in charge of our own brains? or are we just getting really good at accepting AI’s answers? as someone with ADHD, my brain already feels fried, like it has 47 tabs open by default so yes part of me LOVES the idea of AI just taking over write the email tell me what to prioritize MAKE THE DECISION just take it off my brain.. the constant dopamine hit of “progress” is addictive and AI gives you that fast really fast we’ve always offloaded thinking - shopping lists, calculators, google maps - but we were still in control with AI is different you ask important questions and it gives you a full, confident answer and suddenly, the thinking has already been DONE on your behalf all that’s left is whether you accept it or challenge it (that’s cognitive surrender) cognitive offloading is when a tool helps you think cognitive surrender is when it starts thinking FOR YOU… and you don’t even notice when you stopped

🌞This is big Local AI news! A new open-source Computer-Use LLM has just launched. Holo 3.1 is H Company’s (🇫🇷) new local computer-use agent model that beats Qwen3.5-397B, Kimi-K2.5, and Sonnet 4.6! Since it is built for local deployment → ⬩ Runs fully on your machine (MacBook, Windows PC, DGX Spark, RTX Spark) ⬩ Based on Qwen architecture, specialized for GUI understanding & computer control ⬩ Optimized checkpoints: NVFP4, FP8 & Q4 GGUF (0.8B to 35B sizes) ⬩ Strong gains: 79.3% on AndroidWorld benchmark (35B model) 💻 Comparison to Qwen3.5: Holo 3.1 is fine-tuned specifically for computer-use agents (screen understanding, planning, clicking, navigation). Better at real GUI tasks than general-purpose Qwen3.5, especially when running locally.⚡

Computer-use agents are moving from the cloud to your local machine. Fast. When we launched Holo3 two months ago, the production feedback was clear: digital agents need to be blazing fast, cost-effective, and versatile. Today, we're dropping Holo 3.1, engineered to run anywhere, instantly. Massive token throughput. Low latency. Ready for your local workflow!

AI telenovela continues, today’s episode:
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

it's wild how easy it is to generate hype with a demo video compared to actually building a functional product

1/ @Google just dropped design.md as open source 🔥 it's a simple markdown file from @stitchbygoogle where you put your whole design system 2/ export/import design rules (colors, typography, spacing, accessibility) across projects & tools. No more reinventing the wheel or AI guessing your brand vibe. 3/ ai agents can actually read why a color exists, check accessibility, and spit out uis that match your vibe. human readable but machines love it too 4/ super promising for designers and devs. go try it in stitch and check the github (apache 2.0) blog: blog.google/innovation-and-a… GitHub: github.com/google-labs-code/…

1/4 🚨 @mobbin MCP is finally LIVE 📷 Your AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can now tap directly into 600k real app screens for perfect UI/UX references. The AI design game just leveled up. 2/4 What changes: • Ask for “checkout like Stripe” or “onboarding like Linear” → get real, tagged patterns instantly • Way less hallucination • Faster, cleaner builds This is the missing piece for AI-powered product development. 3/4 Tested it: Told Claude to build a subscription flow - it pulled actual patterns from top apps instead of making stuff up. Output was noticeably better. 4/4 Go enable the MCP server in Mobbin and connect it to your AI tool. Who’s trying it today? Drop your first results 📷 #Mobbin #MCP #AIDesign #UIUX #Cursor #Claude

Pretty cool
I hated how bad agents are at design I hated how Codex can't access Mobbin So I created Lazyweb - 257k screens (apps/web) - 6 opinionated design research skills - 1 MCP (Claude/Codex) 100% Free...AI native...no rate limits...no subscriptions.. Enjoy (and tell a friend) 🫡

Anyone can build anything now. So what happens to everything else?

"taste" is having a moment - but do agents need taste? we spent 20 years optimising UX cleaner flows, better onboarding, fewer clicks all built around the assumption that a human at the other end but beautiful UI is a nightmare for an agent. who are you designing for?

i say this as someone who obsesses over branding and UX but I genuinely wonder if the next generation of products will look back at "beautiful UI" the way we look back at Flash websites? useful at the time, irrelevant soon after

I’ve been in SF for 2 months. In that time, I killed my previous startup, started over, and got to $3K MRR in one week Still processing how quickly everything moves here

The definition of “just ship it”
You all are overthinking your app ideas. This app makes your Mac moan when you slap it -> it made $5,000 in 3 days. Just ship it.

Everyone's building AI to generate video. We just launched the AI to edit the real thing. 🚀 Whether you're a creator editing talking-head content, a social media manager sitting on a Drive full of unused footage, or an agency cutting 12 assets from one shoot — the bottleneck is always the same. Editing takes too long. And it hasn't changed in 37 years. So today we're launching EditWithAva on Product Hunt. 🤝 Ava turns raw footage into ready-to-post edits. No timeline, no editing skills, just conversation.
