This week, I learned:

- Code agent frameworks to explore:
  - [Cognition](https://cognition.ai/)
  - [Factory](https://factory.ai/)
  - [Codegen](https://codegen.com/)
- Some interesting multi-modal generation models / tools to explore:
  - Flux for open-weights image generation
  - Runway Gen 3 for video generation
  - Suno for music generation
- [DocxTemplater](https://docxtemplater.com/) is SlideSense but open-core and handles DOCX as well!
- `handle = await window.showDirectoryPicker()` lets you access the browser [File system API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API).
