This stream is a must-watch for anyone who can't afford the monthly fees for various AI tools.

[abdullahahmed]

This your best series. You should continue doing it. The AI space moves at a lightning fast speed and you miss out on a lot of things. I got to know about so many new tools. Kudos

[GrahamAnderson-zx]

I’m very shallow. You need to work in the dancing dragons and music sequence—even if it doesn’t make sense. That’s 100% YouTube crack to me.

[jimlynch]

Another great video. This is a real keeper. I'll bookmark it. Thanks.

[fra]

It would be very useful having a recap of all the tools that you presented (as this video) every n weeks :)

[mikegazzaruso]

This is AWESOME.
10 bucks/mo. and: no request limitations -> beats Cursor 100%. I noticed you can include code blocks but not @web, so you can't do real RAG, but you can run local models with Cline if needed, due the fact Windsurf can load extensions too. If they will maintain this business model I think I will end to use only Windsurf.

Thanks for always good content, King.

[Estubu]

This video is great. I was missing a bit of an overview with so many new things every day! Thanks!

[alex_great]

Хоть я и знал большую часть инструментов но тебе огромный респект за такую подборку. Сделай в следующем видео топ llm локальных моделей которые тебе нравятся в разных весах и сделай пожалуйста акцент на том чтоб они поддерживали разные языки) ты молодец!

[motivation_guru_]

Amazing Video. Great Content. You are definitely the AI King

[DeliciousHoneyDewDew]

This is just AMAZING, and works pretty well!!

[mal-avcisi]

This is insane, man. Thank you very much.

[Uncle-Droid]

Have you done a video on which models allow the largest context length, the quality of inference over the entire text and the experience.

[HikaruAkitsuki]

I never thought we have a ton of AI already.

[supriyadas]

Bro can you made a video where you would make a frontend and then deeply it, then get any api to integrate with frontend

my favorite is deepseek. thanks for the video.

[VaibhavShewale]

ooh man some of them are realy awesome

[deucebigs]

Aider seems to be in all your videos. I would like to see that series please.

[denodecode]

Thank you for all the content you share every day—it’s truly invaluable and has been a tremendous help to me. I have a straightforward question, followed by a request for a more detailed answer: Is it possible today to build a complete, functional web app with social features, where users can interact and create content, solely using agents (and for free) without being a developer? If so, what would be the best setup? Additionally, what is the best approach for interfacing with AI to obtain the exact code needed? Is there a specific hierarchy or structure to follow? Thanks again!

[akio.]

thank you.
Can you make a video about OpenHands and explain it and explain how to use Api from the powerful models in it I could not use ali baba models and mistral ai in it .

[mal-avcisi]

Hey buddy, can you count how many times you said the word "model" in your 248 videos? That would be an interesting statistic.
