I reviewed the M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. It’s the dream Mac for local AI agents. And I’ve gone local-only with Hermes. My story, with LOTS of interactive charts:

The latest oMLX release by @jundotkim is terrific. Finally can use a local model (qwen3.8-flash-next-q4) running on my M3 Ultra Mac Studio, from my iPhone (with Open Minis) to do "real" assistant work. Running at a respectable ~60tps. No cloud costs. Love it.

Finally got my @Pebble Index 01 ring and super excited to dive in! It looks great and I've heard great things about its AI integration with MCP as well as webhooks. Fun project ahead 😎 @ericmigi

Here it is: Our full interview interview with @ajambrosino about the Codex app. The history, design challenges, Computer Use, and more. If you love working in Codex, I think you'll enjoy this interview. Podcast link:

Another lovely update for @ChatGPT on iOS and Codex Remote: Customizable widgets! You can now add new widgets that let you change the buttons to anything you want for Chat, Work, and Remote – including Voice. Instant Home Screen material. I love this.

"The updated Polishing Cloth has dropped in price to $9 from $19. In a world of high-priced memory and storage, I’ll take the pricing wins where I can get them." @johnvoorhees 😂

Want the @ChatGPT iOS app to default to Remote Control when launched? You can now open it automatically with this setting. The Home Screen widgets will still open regular Chat/Work. (thanks @Dimillian and team for adding this for us Remote Control sickos)

I love Codex automations. I wrote this guide for our paying members 3 months ago, and I still use every piece of it: - Process @usemonologue notes - Save emails to task manager - Auto tag read-later items Full guide with examples and prompts:

It's honestly remarkable how good *and* unique Codex Remote for iOS is. Other companies' "remote control" features force you to start from a Mac (Claude, Cursor). Codex Remote is, as far as I know, the only one with full start-from-iOS flow, near desktop parity, and a voice mode. I coordinate dozens of threads from iOS on a daily basis. The voice mode is especially impressive since it can dispatch to individual threads, load all your context + plugin/skills from desktop, and even reopen threads on-screen. I recently set up a second Mac mini (a Tahoe machine for backwards compatibility of my CLIs) and Codex Remote voice mode guided me through the process of setting up a Comet Remote KVM while I was wearing AirPods. While speaking to Codex on my iPhone, it operated a connected Fingerbot and told me what cables to attach and how. Honestly felt like the future. (Pictured: a Linux Mini PC Codex also set up for me.) (My second favorite as an iOS user: T3 Code on iOS by @theo and team. Super smooth onboarding flow with T3 Connect and I love the multi-harness nature of it. Wish it had a voice mode!) Some wishes for Codex Remote: - Home Screen widgets to launch Codex Remote and its voice mode - Proper integrations with iOS frameworks (Reminders, Calendar, etc.) - Integration with Files app (mount local iOS folders) Overall, probably my favorite iOS feature in a long time. Nothing else quite like it right now.
