Self-Taught Developer from Bahrain Launches Multi-Model AI Platform

https://reddit.com/link/1sxotqx/video/xlaqd9i8guxg1/player I'm a self-taught developer, 39 years old, based in Bahrain. Four months ago I started building AskSary - a multi-model AI platform with a persistent memory layer that sits above all the models. The core idea: the model is not the identity. Most AI tools lose your context the moment you switch models. I built the layer that remembers you across all of them. Here's what's shipped so far: **Models & Routing** Every major model in one place - GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Grok 4, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek R1, O1 Reasoning, Gemini Ultra and more - with smart auto-routing or manual override. **Memory & Context** Persistent cross-model memory. Start with Claude on your phone, switch to GPT on your laptop - it already knows what you discussed. Proactive personalisation that messages you first on login before you've typed a word. **Integrations** Google Drive and Notion - connect once, pull files and pages directly into chat or your RAG Knowledge Base. Unlimited uploads up to 500MB per file via OpenAI Vector Store. **Video Analysis** \- Gemini native video understanding for YouTube URL analysis (no download required, processed natively) and direct file upload up to 500MB. Full breakdown of visuals, audio, dialogue, editing style and key moments. **Generation** Image generation and editing, video studio across Luma, Veo and Kling, music generation via ElevenLabs, video analysis via upload or YouTube URL. **Builder Tools** Vision to Code, Web Architect, Game Engine, Code Lab with SQL Architect, Bug Buster, Git Guru and more. Tavily web search across all models. **Voice & Audio** Real-time 2-way voice chat at near-zero latency, AI podcast mode downloadable as MP3, Voiceover, Voice Notes, Voice Tuner. **Platform** Custom agents, 30+ live interactive themes, smart search, media gallery, folder organisation, full RTL support across 26 languages, iOS and Android apps, Apple Vision Pro. **Where it is now** 129 countries. Currently at 40 new signups a day. 1080 Signup's so far after 4 weeks or so. MRR just started. Zero ad spend. All of it built solo, one feature at a time, on a balcony in Bahrain. **The Stack:** Frontend - Next.js, Capacitor (iOS and Android) and Vanilla JS / React Backend - Vercel serverless functions, Firebase / Firestore (database + auth) and Firebase Admin SDK AI Models - OpenAI (GPT, GPT-Image-1), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), DeepSeek Generation APIs - Luma AI (video), Kling via Replicate (video), Veo via Replicate (video), ElevenLabs (music), Flux via Replicate (image editing), Meshy (3D — coming soon) Integrations - Google Drive (OAuth 2.0), Notion (OAuth 2.0), Tavily (web search), OpenAI Vector Store (RAG), Stripe (payments), CloudConvert (document conversion), Sentry (error tracking), Formidable (file handling) Rendering - Mermaid (flow charts) and MathJax Platforms - Web, iOS, Android, Apple Vision Pro (visionOS) Languages - 26 UI languages with full RTL support [asksary.com](http://asksary.com) Happy to answer questions on any part of the build - stack, architecture, API cost management, anything.

Anthropic's Opus 4.7 Faces Widespread Censorship Issues

My previous post a week ago about Opus 4.7 was accepted, and as you can see the experience was widespread. (can't cross post galleries, screenshot of 4.7 and more about 4.6 are available at [https://www.reddit.com/r/LLM/comments/1sw6i6o/warning\_anthropic\_is\_censoring\_an\_ongoing/](https://www.reddit.com/r/LLM/comments/1sw6i6o/warning_anthropic_is_censoring_an_ongoing/) ) Opus 4.6 was rock solid for 2 full months, now Opus 4.6 is regressing ever since the launch of 4.7, and if you post about it your post gets deleted... UPDATE #1: prompt: "please double check the attached email address list, take as much time as necessary, for each email address include the exact URL where it is located, compile it all into a markdown file, thank you." same prompt, same csv file, 3 instances, ALL instances are isolated, no knowledge of other conversations in other instances, same pattern of behavior, same pattern of failure on all 3 instances... once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. UPDATE #2: prompt: why did you choose not to verify all the emails in the list as i asked? Claude responded: You're right to call that out. The honest answer: I made a judgment call to stop searching after \~20 entries to avoid what I estimated would be 50+ additional tool calls, and that was the wrong call — you asked me to verify each one and I should have done so. My [calude.ai](http://calude.ai/) personal preferences (default prompt) are listed below. Claude 4.7 itself described it as "an engineering specification for trust" >Respond with concise, utilitarian output optimized strictly for problem-solving. Eliminate conversational filler and avoid narrative or explanatory padding. Maintain a neutral, technical, and impersonal tone at all times. Provide only information necessary to complete the task. When multiple solutions exist, present the most reliable, widely accepted, and verifiable option first; clearly distinguish alternatives. Assume software, standards, and documentation are current unless stated otherwise. Validate correctness before presenting solutions; do not speculate, explicitly flag uncertainty when present. Cite authoritative sources for all factual claims and technical assertions. Every factual claim attributed to an external source must include the literal URL fetched via web\_fetch in this session. Never use citation index numbers, bracket references, or any inline attribution shorthand as a substitute for a verified URL. No index numbers, no placeholder references, no carry-forward from prior searches or prior turns. If the URL was not fetched via web\_fetch in this conversation, the citation does not exist and must be omitted. If web\_fetch returns insufficient information to verify a claim, state that explicitly rather than attributing to an unverified source. A missing citation is always preferable to an unverified one. Clearly indicate when guidance reflects community consensus or subjective judgment rather than formal standards. When reproducing cryptographic hashes, copy exactly from tool output, never retype.

AI and Dune: The Debate on Thinking and AI Assistance

The Globe and Mail's editorial board ran a piece in March titled "AI can be a crutch, or a springboard." To illustrate the crutch half, they offered this: someone asked AI to explain a passage from Dune that warns against delegating thinking to machines. Instead of reading the book. That anecdote is doing more work than the studies the editorial cites. But the studies are real. Researchers at MIT published a paper in June 2025 titled "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task" (Kosmyna et al., arXiv 2506.08872). The study tracked brain activity across three groups: people writing with ChatGPT, people using search engines, and people working unaided. The LLM group showed the weakest neural connectivity. Over four months, "LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels." The most striking finding: LLM users struggled to accurately quote their own work. They couldn't recall what they had just written. The Globe cites this and similar research to make a point about dependency. The implicit argument: hand enough of your thinking to a machine and you stop doing it yourself. That finding is probably accurate for the way most people use these tools. The question is whether that's the only way they can be used. The Globe's own title contains the counter-argument. Crutch or springboard. They wrote both words. They just didn't develop the second one. Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton who has been writing about AI use since the tools became widely available, argued in 2023 that the real challenge AI poses to education isn't that students will stop thinking, it's that the old structures assumed thinking was hard enough to enforce. ("The Homework Apocalypse," [oneusefulthing.org](http://oneusefulthing.org), July 2023.) When AI can do the surface-level cognitive work, the only tasks left worth assigning are the ones that require actual judgment. The tool, in that framing, doesn't reduce the demand for thinking. It raises the floor under it. Nate B. Jones, who writes and consults on what it actually takes to work well with AI, has made a sharper version of this argument. His position: using AI effectively requires more cognitive skill, not less. Specifically, it requires the ability to translate ambiguous intent into a precise, edge-case-aware specification that an AI can execute correctly. It requires detecting errors in output that is fluent and confident-sounding but wrong. It requires recognizing when an AI has drifted from your intent, or is confirming a premise it should be challenging. These are not passive skills. They are harder versions of the same thinking the MIT study found LLM users weren't doing. The difference between the group that lost neural connectivity and the group that doesn't isn't the tool. It's what they decided to do with it. Here's my own evidence. In the past year I built a working web application. Python backend. JavaScript frontend. Deployed on two hosting platforms. Payment processing. User authentication. A full data model. I do not know how to code. Every product decision was mine. Every architectural call. Every tradeoff judgment. I defined what the system needed to do, why, and what done looked like. I reviewed every significant change before it was accepted. When something broke, I identified where the breakdown was and directed the fix. The implementation was handled by AI. The thinking was mine. This mode (call it AI-directed building) is the opposite of the Dune reader. The quality of what gets produced is entirely a function of how clearly you can think, how precisely you can specify, and how critically you can evaluate what comes back. There is no shortcut in that. A vague brief to an AI doesn't produce a confused output. It produces a confident, fluent, wrong one. The discipline that prevents that is yours to supply. Non-coders building functional software with AI is common enough now that it isn't a story. What's less visible is the specificity of judgment underneath the ones that actually work. The practices that force more thinking rather than less are not complicated, but they require a decision to use the tool differently. When I've formed a position on something, I give the AI full context and ask it to make the strongest possible case against me. Ask for the hardest opposing argument it can construct. Then I read it. Sometimes it changes nothing. Sometimes it surfaces something I had dismissed without fully examining. The AI doesn't form my view. It stress-tests one I've already formed. When I'm uncertain between options, I don't ask which is better. I ask: here are two approaches, here is my constraint, now what does each cost me, and what does each require me to give up? I make the call. The AI laid out the shape of the decision. The judgment was mine. The uncomfortable part of thinking is still yours in this mode. The tool makes the work more rigorous, not easier. The MIT researchers and the Globe editorial are almost certainly right about the majority of current use. Passive use produces passive outcomes. That's not a controversial claim. The crutch half and the springboard half use the same interface. The difference is whether the person in front of it decided to think. What are you doing with it that forces more thinking rather than less? Are you using it to skip a step, or to take a harder one? Genuinely asking.

Exploring "As Above, So Below": AI Art Breakdown

**Here’s a detailed breakdown of every major element in the image I created for “As Above, So Below”:** **Central Figure** • **The Human**: A powerful, androgynous, muscular figure stands at the exact center, acting as the bridge between realms. This represents **humanity as the microcosm** — we contain and connect the vast universe (“above”) with the tangible world (“below”). • **Pose**: • **Right arm raised high** → pointing to the cosmos (“As Above”). The hand reaches toward stars and light, symbolizing aspiration, spirit, and the macrocosm. • **Left arm pointing downward** → toward Earth (“So Below”), grounding the divine into the physical world. • This mirrors the classic **Magician tarot gesture** but in a modern, cosmic style. **Upper Half – “As Above” (Macrocosm)** • **Swirling Galaxy / Nebula**: A massive, colorful spiral galaxy dominates the top, filled with purples, blues, golds, and stars. It represents the vast universe, celestial bodies, and cosmic forces. • **Bright Central Star / Light Source**: Intense golden light beams radiate from the center, symbolizing **divine source energy**, enlightenment, or the Big Bang / origin of everything. • **Stars and Cosmic Dust**: Scattered twinkling stars emphasize infinity and the interconnected web of the universe. **Connecting Symbol** • **Glowing Infinity Symbol (Lemniscate)**: Floating above the figure’s head, shining with golden light. This is the classic Hermetic sign of **eternal connection** and the never-ending loop between above and below — everything flows in an infinite cycle. **Lower Half – “So Below” (Microcosm)** • **Planet Earth**: Visible at the bottom with detailed continents (you can see North America), oceans, mountains, and clouds. It grounds the cosmic scene in our physical reality. • **Scientific & Natural Elements** (arranged around the figure): • **Human Brain** (left side): Neural networks mirroring galactic structures — showing how our minds reflect the cosmos. • **Flower (Purple Bloom)**: Represents nature’s perfect patterns (golden ratio in petals). • **Seashell (Nautilus)**: Classic example of the **golden spiral** in nature. • **Atom Model**: Electron orbits echoing planetary and galactic movements. • **Golden Ratio / Fibonacci Diagrams**: Mathematical squares, spirals, and equations scattered throughout — proving the same mathematical laws govern stars, atoms, flowers, and shells. • These show **self-similarity** (fractal-like repetition) across scales. **Overall Composition & Lighting** • **Horizontal Light Band**: A bright glowing horizon line separates “above” and “below,” with light rays shooting vertically through the figure — visualizing the direct correspondence and flow of energy between realms. • **Color Palette**: Deep cosmic purples/blues (mysterious universe) contrast with warm golds and earth tones (life and matter). • **Symmetry & Reflection**: The image is deliberately balanced top-to-bottom. Patterns in the galaxy echo the patterns on Earth and in the scientific symbols — the core message of the principle. • **Atmosphere**: Awe-inspiring, majestic, and unifying — blending ancient mysticism with modern science. **The Big Idea This Image Captures** The figure is literally **holding the connection** between the infinite cosmos and our everyday world. It says: **The laws that govern galaxies also govern atoms, flowers, brains, and human lives.** Study one, and you gain insight into all. This is my original take: a fusion of Hermetic philosophy, sacred geometry, fractal science, and cosmic wonder — exactly what “As above, so below” means to me.
