remove.bg, the site everyone uses to cut the background out of a photo, shuts down dec 1
it's getting folded into canva, which has owned it since 2021. so that's where your cutouts live now
MiniMax's new M3.1 Flash gets more facts right than DeepSeek's cheap rival, 56% vs 43%, says Artificial Analysis. But 93% of its wrong answers are confident guesses, not "I don't know."
Good for coding and agents. Skip it for research you can't double-check yourself.
FLUX 3 Image Klein runs on an 8GB GPU in INT8, says @bfl_ai. The model card adds a catch: don't skip the prompt upsampler, or short prompts come out generic. Theirs is a separate 9B model that needs about 28GB more.
On 8GB, use any LLM with BFL's system prompt instead.
Glimpse, @ElorianAI's vision model, is sold as 94% cheaper than GPT-6 Astra. The fair rival is Gemini 3.8 Flash.
In Elorian's own table, Glimpse beats Flash on 11 of 12 tests for 20% less. Counting objects: 83 vs 67.
Catch: it zooms and rewatches, and each step bills as tokens.
DeepSeek moved deepseek-flash to V4.1-Flash-1017 today, and the old v4-flash name routes there too. Older versions are retired, so no pinning.
It writes shorter answers, they say. Evals or prompts tuned on the old one? Re-run them this weekend. It's all off-peak, half price.
The free models in OpenCode, the open-source coding agent, don't share one privacy policy.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Free and GLM-5.3-Flash Free are zero-retention. Big Pickle, MiMo and Exo may use your data to improve the model.
Client repo? Use those two, not Big Pickle.
Krea 3's "$0.06 per 2K edit" is output only.
Replicate also bills the photo you send in: $0.02 per megapixel. A full 4MP shot makes it $0.14, about what Krea's chart lists for Nano Banana Pro ($0.135).
Shrink inputs to ~1MP first (enough for most edits, Replicate says): $0.08.
Google's Deep Review went public yesterday. It flags math errors and unsupported claims in a PDF, 2 free reviews a week.
Catch: pilot papers were deleted after each conference. Public uploads stay a year (not for training, Google says).
Paper draft, sure. Client contract, no.
Gemini 4 Argon's $2/$10 per million tokens lasts through Nov 30.
Dec 1 it doubles to $4/$20. And it's not on Free or Google AI Pro — paid API only (or Ultra in the apps).
Budget the Dec price, not the launch one.
