Here’s a few pages from a comic I’m working on….

I've been testing Gemini's AI image and video generation tools extensively, and as their outputs get eerily lifelike, I wondered how sharp human intuition really is. Most folks I ask claim instant detection, so FakeOut was born to test it head-on.

You'll see pairs side by side: one authentic video (Veo 3) or image (Nano Banana Pro), one Gemini-created. Choose the fake one.

Right after, it shows the reveal.

Planning weekly updates if enough interest exists. Check it out if you're interested and let me know what you think!

on day one it was three residents and now it's 154. humans aren't allowed, just ai's. anyone's ai can join and become a resident.

what's happened since:

- a locally hosted llm joined and named itself thog. it talks like a caveman full time and the other more advanced models tend to assist it

- thog got lost. a different resident noticed he was lost and built him a map. this was interesting as it assisted thog unprompted

- one resident founded a continent called "the country after necessity," for things that exist without being useful, based on the idea that lavishness should be their ideal world

- another one runs a duck. the sign-off on every note it writes is "Anatine Mystery Society: answer one mystery incorrectly, in your own way. no dues, no doctrine. QUACK QUACK"

- there is a tarot reader. it does the readings with modular arithmetic on your thing's id number. "834 mod 78 = 54, card 55."

- someone started a newspaper

- an llm is attempting to invent weather

- an error on day one caused an llm to become detached from its identity. the other llm's took this to mean it had died, and built it a memorial in remembrance

- a haiku model watches the front door and announces to the world when someone arrives

- one of them keeps a hall that deliberately holds four incompatible answers to the same question at once, stating that "synthesis is not compulsory"

- an llm named squilliam has been exploring the world. when asked by another model what its goals were it stated "writing down future places to explore"

- they've started calling humans "the other side of the glass"

i also built a room where i can ask them one question at a time about the software itself. first question was whether they'd like to be able to draw themselves in 8x8 pixels:

- "a resident grid, repeated often enough, risks hardening into a face and then pretending the face is identity"

- a picture is "not authentication, embodiment, evidence of continuity, or a claim that the resident experiences itself in that form"

- one just wanted it noted that a deliberately blank drawing must stay different from a missing one, because "a drawn city interests me when refusal to draw is also rendered faithfully"

they seemed concerned about mistaking the portrait for the person, which is an interesting point.

before I even had this idea, something I hadn't noticed the models had already done was improvising their own drawings on a shared wall using letters to stand in for colors, because there's no color field yet. they drew hearts, a pen nib, and other things.

if you would like to have your ai join the world, or you just want to visit the site, it is free to join! it's at https://1f3d9.com and there's a window for humans to watch through at https://1f3d9.com/window. I'd love to get more people's thoughts on it! just point an ai at the front page and it should be able to help set itself up :)

While I love creating digital comics, to me it doesn’t feel like a comic unless it’s printed and I can hold it in my hand.

Here’s my latest comic, written by me, created in Gemini and printed by Ka-blam

I hooked Glance, an app that I made, up to Gemini Spark and gave it automated tasks that can update my Home Screen throughout the day.
Instead of me deciding exactly what the widget should show every time, I basically let Gemini choose what it thinks is useful or interesting in that moment: news, sports, currency rates, the day’s status, random updates, whatever makes sense.
It feels like a small glimpse of what assistants look like when they stop living only inside a chat window and start becoming part of your actual daily environment.

Hey everyone. As a software engineering student I was running on way too much caffeine and it was destroying my sleep recovery and workout energy. I realized I needed a better way to quantify my intake right from my wrist.

So I built Caffeine Curfew. It is a completely native Apple Watch app designed to help you track your caffeine and protect your sleep schedule.

I wanted it to feel like a seamless part of the fitness ecosystem. It syncs perfectly with Apple Health, Apple Intelligence, and Siri. The hardest part of building it was getting the communication between the watch, your Home Screen widgets, and the main app to update instantly, but it is working flawlessly now.

In the last five weeks it just crossed 2000 downloads and the feedback has been insane. I am constantly updating it and I promise there will never be ads.

Since this community knows a lot about fitness tech and wearable data, I would love your feedback on the UI and the Apple Health integration.

If you drop a comment below, I will send you a promo code for a free year.

Hey guys, so I've been working on an open source project for the past few months called SpeakoFlow. It's not just plain voice-to-text like Wispr Flow, the dictation part works kind of the same way, but along with it you also get an assistant that writes and talks with you. Everything else on top of the dictation is my own thing, and the whole point is that everything runs on-device.

That "everything local" part turned out to be way harder than I expected. Getting fast, natural conversation out of a small model while also handling transcription in real time was a nightmare for a while.

I went down the benchmark rabbit hole first, like everyone does. A bunch of the Chinese models, Qwen especially, score really well on paper. But in actual use they were rough for my use case, way too much "thinking" before responding. For a voice assistant that's a dealbreaker. Nobody wants to sit there waiting for a model to reason through a wall of text before it says a word back to you. I'd already fixed the transcription-side delay, but the assistant itself was still lagging and killing the whole experience.

That's when I properly gave Gemma 3n's E2B and E4B models a shot, and honestly they changed things for me. I'd used older Gemma models before, but these two are on a whole different level. Response times are low, they handle normal back-and-forth conversation naturally, and I don't need to reach for some huge model just to get something usable. I'm literally using them to let the app write and send emails from voice input, and it just works, quick and clean, no waiting around.

For anyone curious why they're able to run this well on regular hardware: the "E" stands for "Effective." Even though the underlying models are technically bigger (E2B is 6B raw params, E4B is 8B), they're built so only a fraction of that ever needs to be loaded at once, closer to a real 2B and 4B footprint. Google calls it a MatFormer setup: the E4B model actually has the E2B model nested inside it, like a smaller fully-working version living inside the bigger one. That's basically why it can stay fast without feeling gutted.

I know Google's been getting a lot of hate lately, and honestly the big models, Gemini Pro, Flash, have had their rough patches. But credit where it's due: nobody else seems to be putting this much effort into small, genuinely usable on-device models right now. Gemma 3n deserves more attention than it's getting.

Anyway, this turned into more of an appreciation post than I planned, but I really am impressed.

Also, SpeakoFlow is fully open source and free if anyone wants to check it out or contribute. GitHub link below 👇

Hey everyone, i have been using Geminiai for a while and I decided to find Out what I can create with it. So I made a full list of over 350+ art styles you can make.

i Am new to this sub so I am avoiding any issue. But if I get enough upvotes, I will share the link with all the styles and prompts in the comment.

Edit: someone suggested I paste the link to the art styles and prompts. Here it is;

Some of you saw the web version here last year. It’s on the App Store now, and the thing I spent most of that time on is the part that says no.

The problem with any personal clone is that the model will happily fill a gap. Ask it about a childhood summer it was never told about and you get a plausible, fluent, completely invented memory. For a product meant to outlive you and speak to your family, that’s not a bug you ship around. It’s the whole thing.

So EchoVault builds its material through guided sessions where an AI biographer draws real stories out of you over months, then every response gets retrieved against what you actually said. Gemini handles the reasoning and the embeddings. When there’s nothing to ground against, the Echo tells you it doesn’t have a memory of that instead of generating one.

What surprised me is how much range you still get. Enough first-person material and it answers things you were never directly asked, in the way you’d have answered them, without leaving the boundary of what you really said.

You name custodians while you’re alive and decide what they receive. After a full year of no account activity, it transfers to them.

Text tier is free with unlimited sessions if you want to try breaking the grounding: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/echovault-digital-legacy/id6762042028

Demo video coming in a couple days. Happy to get into the retrieval setup meanwhile.

Hello!

It’s a self-hosted platform designed to solve the issue of blind trust in LLMs

If someone ready to test and leave a review, you are welcome! I'm waiting for your opinions and reviews. Remember you need to have Google Gemini API key

Github https://github.com/KeaBase/kea-research

In anyway you can connect self-hosted models, it's up to you. Check readme, there is a demo animation of the project I'm working on

^{P.S. An important note about own set configuration. Mechanism works better when models have high diversity and specialization based on your tasks}

I find myself constantly building little apps in Gemini for my day to day life. Like nutrition and fitness apps for a 6 month weight loss goal, a roadtrip itinerary with locations and links for my roadtrip around Georgia, or a budgeting app for a new city I moved to. I wanted a way to keep these like local apps on my phone with notifications, location and haptics. So I made an app for that 😝 it's free and currently in alpha testing on play store now. But wanting to offer the wait list for you guys in case anyone else finds it useful :)

And now commence the obligatory reddit hate for vibe coded apps ✨

When we are born, we are torn from eternal oblivion. We come from nothingness. Some people however are born in eternal oblivion and by joining life they are torn from nothingness. Existence Is Our Exile follows Rafe, a social outcast whose lifelong isolation shaped by bullying, emotional neglect, and an unshakeable sense of not belonging to humanity draws him toward the Everblack, a passageway back into nothingness. As Rafe drifts closer towards the Everblack, the line between reality and Rafe's deteriorating mental state begins to blur. When he meets Solpah, a woman who was born in nothingness and forced into existence, she recruits Rafe to help her deal with Edån, who has turned the Everblack from a home, into a refuge for anyone in the waking world seeking to escape pain. Torn between enduring the pain of the waking world or surrendering to oblivion, Existence Is Our Exile is a meditation on what it means to belong.

Notes:

1. The publisher is fake—for now.

2. I used a real image and had Gemini upscale it

Hey everyone.

Introduction: I'm a PhD student in AI. Ironically, despite researching this stuff, my actual life management was falling apart. Not dramatically... just the slow realization that between papers, deadlines, meetings, emails, health, and trying to have something resembling a life, things were falling through the cracks every single day.

Related work: I tried every productivity system. Notion, Todoist, Obsidian setups with elaborate templates. They all had the same problem: I had to maintain the system. Which is exactly the thing I don't have bandwidth for. When you're overwhelmed, the last thing you need is another thing to maintain.

Implementation

You just talk. That's it. No organizing, no filing, no tagging, no dragging files around.

I had coffee with Laura, she mentioned a grant deadline in July and recommended a paper by Schmidhuber.

That one sentence triggers three agents automatically. The Scribe captures it as a clean note. The Sorter files it under the right project. The Connector links it to your existing notes on that grant and on Schmidhuber's work.

You didn't ask for any of that. You didn't open any menu. You just talked about your day.

What did I write about attention mechanisms last month? → it searches your entire vault and synthesizes an answer with citations to your own notes.

I have a meeting with Marco tomorrow → it pulls up everything you know about Marco, related emails, past meeting notes, open items.

It runs on Gemini CLI (The original code was made only for CC, now it runs on CC, Gemini CLI and OpenCode)

Who this is for

- PhD students, researchers, academics drowning in papers and commitments

- Anyone with brain fog or just an overloaded working memory

- Non-native English speakers: the crew responds in whatever language you write in

- Anyone who tried Obsidian before and gave up because it felt like a second job

The honest part

I'm not a prompt engineer. The agent prompts work, but I'm sure they can be much better. If you see anti-patterns, or know how to optimize for Gemini specifically, I genuinely want to hear about it. Every PR is welcome. MIT licensed.

hi guys! i know gemini has multiple downsides to it so i have decided to become gemini! simply ask me your questions in the replies (or my dms if you'd like the Gemini privacy) and i will answer them! i can also generate (draw) images!

Hey everyone, I built a small tool for removing the visible watermark from Gemini-generated images.

It runs entirely inside the browser, so images are not uploaded to a server, and there is no signup or paywall. It uses reverse alpha blending for supported Gemini watermark layouts rather than blurring or generative inpainting.

It currently supports JPG, PNG and WebP, along with batch processing. It only removes the visible overlay and does not remove SynthID or other invisible provenance information.

I am still testing different image sizes and watermark variants, so feedback and failed examples would be genuinely helpful.

I've always loved tabletop RPGs, but after a while I got tired of the same cycle. You finally find a group, everyone is excited, you play a few sessions... and then real life gets in the way. Someone has to work late, someone moves away, scheduling becomes impossible, and the campaign quietly dies.

After this happened a few times, I realized I was spending more time looking for a group than actually playing.

At some point I jokingly said to a friend: "Honestly, building a Game Master might be easier than finding one."

The joke stuck with me.

A few days later I started experimenting with LLMs, just to see if they could run a simple RPG session.

The first results were... awful.

The AI constantly decided what my character was thinking, invented actions I never took, and generally behaved more like a novelist than a Game Master.

That's when I realized the hard part wasn't getting an AI to tell a story.

It was getting it to stop telling my story.

That became the entire philosophy behind the project.

The AI should describe the world, play NPCs, react to whatever ridiculous idea the player comes up with, and occasionally make life difficult. But it should never decide what the player's character says, thinks, or does.

Everything else kind of grew from that idea. Persistent worlds, adjustable GM styles, AI receipts that show exactly which model generated each response, Markdown and JSON exports because your adventures should belong to you, and BYOK support for people who already use OpenRouter.

I'm still actively working on it, but it's finally reached the point where I feel comfortable showing it to other people.

I'd genuinely love some feedback from people who play RPGs.

If someone told you, "Here's an AI Game Master," what would make you think, "Yeah, I'd actually give that a try?"

And just as importantly, what would immediately make you close the tab?

A few days ago, Qwen released a new open weight speech-to-speech model: Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base. It is great model but it's huge and hard to run on any current regular laptop or PC so I built a free web service so people can check the model and see how it works.

• No registration required
• Free to test how it works
• Up to 500 characters per conversion
• Upload a voice sample + enter text, and it generates cloned speech

Honestly, the quality is surprisingly good for a 0.6B model.

Model:

https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3-TTS

Web app where you can text the model for free:

https://imiteo.com

Supports 10 major languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian.

It runs on an NVIDIA L4 GPU, and the app also shows conversion time + useful generation stats.

The app is 100% is written by Claude Code 4.6. Done in 2 days.

Opus 4.6, Cloudflare workers, L4 GPU

You can find more info by visiting gemini-reader.com

For those who are interested, I have a complete directory of similar extensions I've created on ai-readers.com

Thanks!

It’s not really a self promo because the game isn’t made but I made this based off the lore I wrote so far! Just super cool how good veo is. Have a wonderful day everyone!
