For comparison, openrouter says opus 4.8 is ~55 tokens/s and fast mode is ~102.

750 tokens/s for their largest model is going to be nuts

I don't understand how people can hate on this. It's probably the most novel & ambitious consumer health device ever? Plus they're doing it fully bootstrapped. Let them cook!

> They've got, ballpark, $5t to $10t to make back in the next 5 years

OpenAI's spending commitment is in the ~1T range for the next 5 years, and Anthropic is ~300B.

If they continue to show strong growth, they likely need to be at 100-300B in revenue/yr to support their yearly payments + financing, not 1T.

As someone who likes bright monitors, I'm excited to try the 2000 nit peak brightness! Are there any comparable monitors to the XDR brightness wise?

I did use it for this project! While the UI was good, there was a lot of last mile debugging to make charts/animations/responsiveness work well.

Because the lamp is 6'3" it's only below eye level for people who are 6'7-8.

We had another 6'5" customer who was worried about the height but they said it was totally fine even with shoes on.

LEDs are pretty insane these days - the ones we use have an L90 (time until they hit 90% brightness) of >50,000 hours (17 years if you use it every day 8 hours a day).

We use constant current reduction dimming so there's zero flicker!
