benchmark gap: ~8% · price: ~11x cheaper
2. code generation
GPT-5.5 → Qwen 3.7 Max
benchmark gap: ~18% · price: ~7x cheaper
3. agent loops + tool calling
Sonnet 4.7 → GLM 5.2

[ result after 30 days: ]
operating costs dropped 87%, output quality dropped 4% on average, revenue unchanged
the most important that these models will be not banned in a month and i can run them locally
nobody will steal my data and i can learn them as i need
full article drops tomorrow with:
> exact routing logic per task type
> the 2 cases where I still pay for American
> the migration playbook anyone can copy in a weekend
VERY IMPORTANT to get migrated now, while it's not too late

No break. No complaints. No salary.
It's a strange moment to be a developer.

Everyone's talking about AI Engineering jobs.
Meanwhile, companies want a senior with 10 years of RAG experience, LangGraph + fine-tuning + MLOps + infra — for a mid-level salary.
The field is real. The market just hasn't figured out how to hire for it yet.

I’m excited to announce that DFlow has been acquired by MoonPay.
DFlow has consumed almost every waking moment of my life since I started it in 2021. An incredible amount of work has gone into it over the years with tangible growth results that reflect the massive effort of the entire team.
Today, DFlow is integrated almost universally across trading apps on Solana. Transactions constructed by DFlow are in almost every block produced on Solana. We’ve served millions of traders across the world. We’re constantly on the frontier of the technology powering markets, working with the largest and most cutting edge businesses in next-gen finance like Phantom, Kalshi, Coinbase, and hundreds more.
I’m proud of what we’ve built so far and excited to work with Ivan and the MoonPay team on the next phase of insane growth.

a founder in brazil messaged us last month. "my customers want to pay but they don't have international credit cards. can you support pix?"
that's the thing about building a global payments platform. credit cards feel universal until you realize they're not. in brazil, pix is how people move money. instant bank transfers. 150+ million users. it's not an alternative payment method there. it's THE payment method.
so we built it. PIX is now live on @dodopayments. billing currency is BRL. your brazilian customers pay in their local currency. no card required. no friction. no "sorry we only accept visa."
if you're selling digital products or SaaS and ignoring brazil, you're ignoring one of the fastest growing tech markets on the planet. and the reason most companies ignore it is because payments were hard there.
not anymore.
