Tool: Chirp Pong Another game experiment - I wanted to see if it was feasible to have a two player game on two separate phones running in static HTML where the networking code uses chirps sent via the microphone. It seems to work! Build a two player competitive pong like game where two players use their phones close to each other and the game state is sent via audio noises which the web microphone API can interpret - but add graphical and gameplay twists to make it a lot more fun and intertwine than pong Claude Opus 5.5 Extra in Claude Code .

NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super is a vision-language model for coding, reasoning, tool use, and document understanding. It pairs a 120B-parameter hybrid Mamba-2/Transformer mixture-of-experts backbone (12B active per token) with a C-RADIO vision encoder, and supports tool calling, an on/off thinking mode, and context up to 1M tokens. ollama run nemotron-3.5-super A compact sibling, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt , distills Super down to 74B parameters (9B active) tuned to fit a 24 GB NVIDIA GPU for everyday agentic tasks, with speculative decoding via its included drafter. What's Changed Decision models are now available on cloud — use clef:cloud and clef-flash:cloud to run decision models through ollama.com cloud without pulling them locally Continuing an OpenAI-compatible Responses conversation that includes custom tool calls no longer fails with an error Clearer error messages when cloud access fails: sign-in problems, payment issues in the desktop app, and upstream access errors from the ChatGPT gateway now explain what went wrong Updated llama.cpp (adding Nemotron 3.5 support) and MLX New Contributors @willietran made their first contribution in #18986 Full Changelog : v0.40.4...v0.40.5
