Calibre 9.14 Open-Source E-Book Manager Is Out with More AI Features (9to5linux.com)

From the article: "This release also introduces Anthropic and Grok backends for Claude and Grok models. (...)

Coming three weeks after Calibre 9.13, the Calibre 9.14 release is here to introduce more AI features, including the ability to generate book covers using AI with different cover styles such as romance, sci-fi, pulp fiction, etc., as well as Anthropic and Grok backends for Claude and Grok models, while removing the GitHub backend."

I don't have it installed at the moment but wonder how easily you can disable that stuff.

The open source world adopting closed source AI integrations is the most egregious behavior to me.

The guy on Calibre has had many hot takes since forever. The most amusing one was the idea of forking Python 2 instead of migrating to Python 3.

Counterproductive idea, sure, but I feel that forking python 2 is at least more in line with open source principles. Incorporating the CSAM machines into Calibre is bad in every way.
