Reading Notes #689 is out! A handful of interesting reads on AI, dev tools, and clever ideas from around the web 📚️ 🎧️ c5m.ca/RN-689

Meet Reka #Edge - Our vision language model for physical AI. Uses 3x fewer tokens and achieves 65% faster throughput compared to 8B models. Image understanding, video analysis, object detection, and tool use. Built for Action. Fast enough for production, deployable anywhere c5m.ca/reka-edge

Most VLMs are built for chat. But in Physical AI, real-world systems make decisions in milliseconds. If you're building for robotics or real-time video, you need intelligence that's practical, powerful, and fast. We’ve been heads-down on latency bottlenecks Can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Reading Notes #688 is out! This week: AI pull-request agents for Azure DevOps, safer OpenClaw experiments in Docker sandboxes, Copilot updates, WebAssembly insights, and a neat way to integrate Aspire into existing projects. 👉 c5m.ca/Rn-688

Reading Notes #687 is live 🚀 This week: upgrading legacy code with AI, markdown-based agents on Azure, measuring AI’s real business value, OpenClaw security, long-term storage strategies, and a note on The Making of a Manager. You can read it here: c5m.ca/RN-687

Excited to share what we just launched at Reka 👀 We released an #n8n community node for AI-powered video clipping & image analysis. • Turn long videos into short clips • Analyze images with natural language • Ask questions about visuals c5m.ca/1108EmaLX Would love to hear what you'd build with it

New Reading Notes 🧠 c5m.ca/RN-686 Ralph loops, AI coding tips, Docker sandboxes, OSS tools, and some excellent podcasts to level up your week Have a nice week!

We’re letting AI answer business questions… But we don’t require proof? At Confoo, I’ll build an agentic research assistant that searches multiple sources and returns grounded, traceable answers. Because “trust me bro” isn’t an architecture 👉 Join me in Montreal: confoo.ca @confooca.bsky.social

Are we overcomplicating AI integration? Do we really need: - An SDK? - Extensions? - An Agent Framework? - Or just HttpClient? What’s your current approach? Next week I’ll be at confoo.ca (Feb 25–27) in Montreal presenting:

I just published a post c5m.ca/termTools that shares how I built a little scripts accessible from any terminal. Now you can ask AI with "?" Or let it do a web research with "??" The project is open source of course!

no GUI, no heavy clients, no friction Imagine just typing "?" and your question in any terminal the moment it pops into your head, and getting the answer right away youtu.be/nugPkWLUOZQ
