This is very cool - one feature request: please support other languages! German Wikipedia would have way better info for my location :-)

This is part of what appeals to me. You can have something you love, but you have an idea that you want to explore. So you have to tear it all down.

I'd usually be drawn to hoarding patches, and organizing them, and labelling and maintaining. With a modular synth, I can only produce in the moment. I find that really freeing.

I'm a hobbyist, and not a professional musician, i might think different if I did this to make money.

Maps grounding is an amazing interface for Google Maps - „I’m at x, need to be at y by 5pm. Find me a route that’s walkable and has a good vegan restaurant and a toy store“

I’ve been toying with using an llm to compile to smtlib and solving with z3. It works quite well, although I’m not quite sure how practical (large programs, reliably good runtime) I can make it.

I thought the same then. But the funny thing is that today, it has become a lot easier to recognize the frontier models as not human. All the load bearing and not x but y, etc… weird

i came back to say: i've given this another chance and while my point still stands: it's actually making up for that by being a good thinking partner.

the latest project i've been working on this has been really good. So I may have judged too quickly.

It's a smart model, but it has huge troubles staying on task... it constantly builds things I didn't ask it to.

Might have its uses in a tightly controlled harness, but for coding I'm switching back to a mix of K3/GLM-5.2/Deepseek V4 Flash 0731

Interesting!

GLM 5.2 is slower for sure (although they offer a fast version), and it's more expensive. But in my experience, it's universally better than Deepseek V4-flash-0731. Don't get me wrong, the new Flash version is amazing.

But the use cases I have looked at are about source code understanding, bug finding, etc. - GLM 5.2 is clearly better.

I think by using some prompt engineering, you will probably be able to close this gap, but some extra work is needed.

And I'll say it again: the new Flash version is amazing. I love it. That level of intelligence for the price is unprecedented, and the fact that it's open weights and runs locally makes me genuinely happy.

They're trying to make the product sticky while they're still subsidizing the subscription price. The plan is to raise prices when you're addicted.

it's sort of good at thinking, writing specs, etc.. Also debugging. But as a coder: I see no advantage to opus 4.6 and I preferred sonnet most times already over opus 4.6.

No idea what rights you'd have in the US, I'm not a citizen :-)
