What makes Ling-2.6-1T interesting to me is not just that it is large. It is that the positioning sounds much more execution-first than a lot of other frontier model messaging right now: tighter instruction following, lower token overhead, stronger long structured work, and better fit for repeated workflows.

And that is exactly why I keep feeling that if this is real, keeping it closed would be wasting the most interesting part of it.

The value of a model like that is not just in one hosted demo. It is in what developers, researchers, and open model communities could do with it if the weights, distills, or at least a meaningful deployable path existed. That is where you would actually learn whether the “execution-first” story survives contact with real use.

So I’m curious whether others feel the same.

If Ling’s most differentiated trait is supposed to be usable intelligence under real constraints, does it almost need an open-weight path to matter fully? Or is a closed hosted model enough for that kind of positioning to stay strategically relevant?

I’m finally getting my Shopify store off the ground, and after spending enough already on products, apps, and everything else, I’d really love to avoid paying for a theme if I don’t have to.

So now I’m trying to figure out which of the best free Shopify themes are worth using.

Some of them look great in previews, but it’s hard to know which ones hold up once real traffic starts coming in. Things like mobile layout, speed, conversions, and ease of customization matter a lot to me.

For those who’ve used free Shopify themes, which one surprised you the most? Did you stick with a free theme longer than expected, or eventually switch to a paid one?

Would love to hear what people are using right now and what’s working.

Several days ago, I was searching the Internet and dedicated some time to finding tailored suit pants and began to wonder whether free shipping exists or not. Initially I thought that most formal wear will always incur additional delivery fees but that is not always the case nowadays.

As it turned out, there are numerous online stores, which provide free shipping on custom suit pants during seasonal sales, promotions, or when the required minimum value of an order is achieved. Certain brands even offer free delivery to first-time buyers or special discounts. But it normally relies on the seller, place and existing deals, hence not all purchases are bound to be so.

Based on my online visits to various suppliers, such as Alibaba, I have also found that there are numerous vendors providing free or reduced shipping on custom suit pants, particularly bulk purchases and tailoring options.

It is certainly possible since, according to what I have learned, it depends on timing and the conditions of the order.

Continuous shopping, but it is possible to save an additional amount of money by reading the policy of delivery before purchasing.
