Two halves tonight.
 
 FIRST: show us what you did. Last month we went through nine ways to work with coding
 agents. Some of you went home and tried them. Bring what happened — the memory file that
 changed your week, the prompt that finally worked, the agent that confidently destroyed
 something. Wins and disasters are equally welcome; the disasters usually teach more. Five
 minutes each, laptop optional, no slides required.
 
 THEN: everything that isn't text. We've spent two meetings on language models. Meanwhile
 image, video, music, and voice generation have quietly become genuinely good — and a
 surprising amount of it now runs on the laptop in front of you, with nothing leaving the
 machine.
 
 We'll walk the current landscape honestly: what's actually worth using in October 2026,
 what got discontinued this year, and where each one still falls apart. Then we'll split the
 field the way that matters for a working developer — what you call an API for, versus what
 you can run yourself.
 
 And we'll generate something live. On a laptop. Offline.
 
 You'll leave knowing which model to reach for per modality, what your own hardware can run,
 how to set it up, and the three questions that decide hosted-versus-local for any of them.
 
 Come curious. Beginners and veterans welcome.
