There are a lot of tasks that AI isn't suited for, but there are a ton of tasks where it augments and greatly accelerates workflows.

Any tool can be used in a right and wrong way. I think the world is still figuring this one out.

Agreed. You need to own and secure the entire stack(s) to a solution to really accomplish true E2EE.

Beyond all of this, @metamask.io is looking better than ever. Always like seeing all the easier ways folks can onboard into the ecosystem.

Doing requires an environment flag (PW_CHROMIUM_ATTACH_TO_OTHER = '1') to be set before the context is created. Since dAppwright creates its own context, this is easy for us to do at runtime without introducing a breaking change for burdening users with this context.

Waiting for this flexibility also meant that we got introduced to the new side panel UI that MetaMask has incorporated. Playwright doesn't really consider the side panel to be part of it's official supported mechanisms but you can dig the page out of the browser context.

Specifically waited for 13.12.x where there is more flexibility when setting up the wallet to turn off backup & sync. Without this option disabled, there would have to be 3-5min waits for the list of accounts to sync since the test wallet has > 200 accounts.

This is just the start, there are a lot of other data points at play when it comes to picking models that will be added over time.

Hope it helps you too. Feedback always welcome!

Lots of folks have always asked for a copy of my spreadsheet, this will auto-update and be more sustainable to keep everyone in the loop. All data is stored in the browser, nothing leaves your machine.

At @withmantle.com, we’re constantly testing different models for different tasks. Performance matters, but so does cost when you’re shipping at scale.

For years, I've had a spreadsheet that consolidates current pricing for major models to track and compare the cost of different AI workflows across the company.

In the last couple of weeks, 3 new models dropped and I caught myself scrambling to keep up with the latest pricing.

Don’t worry, AI will fix it. 👀
