I m really honored that @Flowtica Scribe has received the 2026 iF Design Award it feels like the design world is validating exactly why we do this.
We re making three frontier open-source models free* on Zo until the end of February. GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, and MiniMax M2.5 are now free to use on Zo. And we ve increased the AI usage limits on our free plan significantly.
We re incredibly excited about recent progress in open-source models. Three labs dropped big releases just weeks apart, ahead of the highly anticipated DeepSeek R2. These open models are quickly catching up to closed models like ChatGPT and Claude, which are much more expensive.
When I interviewed for my current company, I had a conversation with the Founder and PM that lasted more than an hour. Interestingly, only about 30% of the discussion focused on my experience which made sense, since my background wasn t directly related to the role I applied for.
The remaining 70% of the conversation was about how I approach real-world problems, my mindset toward the work I would be doing, and how I envisioned growing in the role. They also asked why I chose this product and company, what it meant to me personally, and how I hoped to contribute moving forward.
