Suggestion to Damien: Migrating to an NN (Neural Net)

Update: I will no longer be working on Clanki and RWKV-mini. My Claude Code account randomly got banned and when I requested further investigation, I got this:

I could maaaaaybe work on RWKV, granted it would be very slow and more limited, but there is absolutely no way to maintain an entire Anki fork alone, on my own.

Ngl, I don’t feel great right now.
And I’m not rushing to try Codex or other alternatives because the country where I live is blocked by every LLM provider. For Claude Code I was using a burner phone number + a card with a billing address that has nothing to do with where I live (different country), which is probably why I got banned. Probably. They never specified what exactly I violated.

I’ll keep using my Clanki build, at least until FSRS-7 is integrated into Anki natively. Then I’ll probably switch to official Anki. Maybe someone will look at the history of my Clanki fork (aside from UI, it’s mostly performance optimizations) and use it as a starting point for Anki speedups, but the chances of that are very slim.

EDIT: some of my Clanki speedups are being ported to Anki:

I haven’t tried it yet but OpenCode seems to be a popular workaround. Since it’s open source, it can be used from any country, users can use the API of their preferred AI model, and local LLMs can also be used if they have a GPU.
