Build with AI

I replaced a paid voice subscription with Gemini TTS for two brands. Here is where it broke

Six weeks of running every Arabic and English voiceover through Gemini's free TTS tier: the ten-requests-a-day wall, the missing timestamps, the name it refuses to pronounce, and the one job I still pay for.

Market Analysis

Emergent, the $1.5B app builder — and the credit meter running behind it

One prompt becomes a full-stack app. The verified funding ladder, the real credit math, a 2.9/5 Trustpilot record across 614 reviews, and where agentic builders break down on the last 20%.

I generated 387 images with Replicate for one book. Here is the bill and the failure rate

402 generations, $1.84, and a 3.5% reject rate — with the real numbers from the manifest. Including the estimate I got wrong by 6x, and why 12 of my 13 rejects were hands.

Tool Review

Klap, Honestly: The Clips Were Great. Saving Them Cost $29

It reads your two-hour video and hands back the eight moments worth posting — the selection is the product, and it is good at it. Then the free tier stops at watching. The export wall, the real August 2026 pricing, and the language caveat that decides it.

Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Land the Same Day, Both Cheaper

On September 22 Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 at $4/$20 per million tokens (down from $5/$25), with cache reads cut from $0.50 to $0.20, and OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol at $2/$10 and Luna at $0.10/$0.50, roughly half the previous generation. Artificial Analysis moved Sol one point, 47 to 48. OpenAI also extended cache discounts to shared prefixes reused within 30 minutes and shipped cache-miss diagnostics. AWS open-sourced Strands Harness under Apache 2.0, reporting 28% lower token cost across six benchmarks, and Patrick Wardle showed any local process could steal the auth token of Meta's Muse agent on macOS.
