Just wiped Anthropic from my OpenCode and OhMyOpenAgent configs. Grok 4.20, GPT-5.4, and Kimi are my workflow now. Why? I want multiple models to avoid lock-in, leverage the best model for each role, and pit models against each other to create the absolute best outcome. Also, one has to stop supporting enemies of the freedom to innovate and AI adoption. Dario and Anthropic have every right to cut third-party developer tools off. This is further evidence of inherent arrogance, anti-freedom, and anti-developer beliefs. Combined with the clear bias and logic flaws in their models, it’s reason enough to stop supporting them. Claude 4.6 is an incredible achievement, but Grok 4.20, GPT-5.4, Kimi K2.x, and others are more than capable of producing incredible results—especially in a multi-agent workflow where the strengths of each can be leveraged.

opencode 1.3.0 will no longer autoload the claude max plugin we did our best to convince anthropic to support developer choice but they sent lawyers it's your right to access services however you wish but it is also their right to block whoever they want we can't maintain an official plugin so it's been removed from github and marked deprecated on npm appreciate our partners at openai, github and gitlab who are going the other direction and supporting developer freedom

A detailed and brutal look at the tactics of buzzy AI compliance startup Delve "Delve built a machine designed to make clients complicit without their knowledge, to manufacture plausible deniability while producing exactly the opposite." substack.com/home/post/p-19…

AI CMOs that have been launched currently wouldn’t help my friend. He is building an API product. And we periodically talk. His biggest problem is not “doing marketing”, but he doesn’t understand who he wants to help specifically, and how to position his product as the best solution for this specific customer profile. I suspect once he resolves this, he won’t need an AI CMO either.

Looks like a new exploit to create PDFs on europa(.)eu has been found. Like always, these will rank very well and I guess it won't be fixed till Monday.

Whole SOC2 debacle just shining a light on the industry as a whole. First of all Type 1 is literally a spreadsheet you fill out yourself with the promise to get actual audit done in the next 12 months. If you done it once it literally takes 30 minutes to “pass” type 1. Then kick the tire down the road for next 18 months to properly get it done.

Frontier models were hyped as the value center, but Cursor proved harness > model. But so much money has been poured into the big AI narrative, now Cursor must burn billions to pivot the story. No better way than trial by fire.

@pxue Yes @lulumeservey is the best right now I agree but this doesn’t really apply here. Cursor got caught with kimi referenced in their code which is sloppy and admitted it but the damage was really done. And by damage I mean Twitter noise that 99% of users don’t care about.

Not going to lie, last night I couldn't sleep hardly at all. A lot of anxiety about how the game would be received. You all have been SO KIND. I'm blown away by the positive responses!

@harpreetchatha_ it's the state of the market right now and profound is trying to roll everything into zero click. my guess is they'll eventually roll out some synthetic audience and then double dip into the measurement

This case study between Profound & Zapier is genuinely mandatory reading if you want to understand the grift behind GEO / AEO. The growth analytics manager at Zapier said that without the AI visibility tool, "they have zero visibility into what LLMs said about them". I wonder if these people use AI themselves? Then "Standing up an AEO program". Profound says that Zapier's AEO program entails "alternative and head-to-head articles". Zapier wanted to own listicles. They have a quote in there which says "they made the decision to double down on AI search as a net-new channel, not a sidecar to SEO". They doubled down via lisicles. I'm gonna leave it at that. Scaling listicles is not an AEO program lol. If VPs, CMOs & marketing leaders are dumb enough to fall for this type of stuff them good luck to those companies. Stay safe out there.

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown: > 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in > Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions > All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client > Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months > The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done > Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author > Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper" > When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams > Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved > When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance > Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor
