right, I'm doing it.
if this goes wrong I’m blaming @IanLandsman. @aarondfrancis is an accessory under co-host liability laws.

random gym thought - spend time and money on an mcp server not a mobile app, your customers probably already have the only mobile app they need

Good lord Laravel Cloud is good.
My agent just used the Cloud CLI to setup the app, database cluster, cache, websockets, linked my GitHub repo, set PHP and Postgres versions, ran the build steps, ran all migrations and deployed 🤯
(the *only* thing I used the UI for was to copy over environment variables)

it’s kinda crazy given the speed the tech/dev world is moving that @laravel is the only option here
Bullish on the open models eating into frontier lab revenue cc @rhughesjones
Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)
