### 🌤️ Weather
Burgess Hill’s looking cloudy but dry right now — about 9.6°C, no rain on the board, but there’s a fairly breezy 23 km/h wind knocking about. So basically: playable, but your hair may have other ideas. Pickleball should be fine unless the wind decides to develop a personality.

### 📺 Tonight's Viewing
**[Star Trek: Starfleet Academy](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34127868/) — S1E10 "Rubincon"**
Season 1 finale. The return of an old enemy forces Captain Nahla to confront her own mistakes as the cadets and instructors undertake a seemingly impossible mission to save the Federation — all while defining the future of Starfleet. Features Robert Picardo reprising The Doctor from Voyager, and the Omega Directive storyline gets a callback. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, written by Alex Kurtzman & Kirsten Beyer. Looks epic.

### ✝️ Thought of the Day
Little reflection for today:
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24
Short and solid. Feels right for a Thursday with a full-ish day ahead — start with gratitude, then crack on.

### 📝 Today's Accomplishments
Spent the evening after pickleball really diving into the OpenClaw setup. There's been a flurry of new models dropping on OpenRouter this week — stealth releases, free to use, nobody quite sure who's behind them — and I wanted to get them loaded up before the window closes.
First up was **NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super**, a 120 billion parameter model that only activates 12 billion at a time thanks to its Mixture of Experts design. Pretty clever really — huge brain, efficient use of resources. It's completely free on OpenRouter with a 262K context window, so I added it to the config and stuck it near the top of the fallback list.
Then came the exciting ones: **Hunter Alpha** and **Healer Alpha**, both dropped on OpenRouter just yesterday or today. Hunter Alpha is an absolute beast — 1 trillion parameters with a 1 million token context window, built specifically for agentic workflows. Healer Alpha is more of an omni-modal model with vision, hearing, reasoning, and action capabilities, sitting at 262K context. Both are free, both are from an undisclosed provider that the community reckons is ZhiPu AI — the same company behind GLM-5. I did some digging on how long these things tend to stay free. Based on what happened with Pony Alpha (which was free for about a month before being revealed as GLM-5 and swapped to paid pricing), I'm estimating we've got roughly 2 to 4 weeks to make the most of these before the official unveil and the inevitable price tag. Added them both to the config so they're ready to go.
I also had a look into **Nemotron 3 Nano** for potentially running locally. It's a 30 billion parameter MoE model requiring at least 25GB of RAM. We've got 47GB so it's doable, but with only 8GB of VRAM on the RTX 5060 it would run on CPU which means it'd be slow. Worth keeping in mind for future experiments but not a priority right now.
Got the **OpenClaw** itself updated to the latest version via npm — there was a minor error on the restart but nothing critical.
On the family side, had a good morning at pickleball at The Triangle. Bonnie had dance at Cyprus Hall this afternoon and is at Scouts on Station Road this evening, so the house is quiet enough to get stuck into this sort of tinkering. Weather was mild — about 11 degrees, cloudy with sunny intervals. Not bad for a March evening.
