Agreed. It's much better at working with stuff (like documents and presentations) in other languages too. It feels like it's trained in multiple languages from the ground up rather than as an afterthought.

Yeah. I hate that everyone is coming up with conspiracy theories about selling data about the user's coffee habits. While it's much more likely that the device just has a weird mDNS or Bonjour issue or an IP misconfiguration and causes storms on the network. It was one tweet without much proof.

How so? I really can't relate.

How? Explicit instructions, memories and even skills have not been able to keep Claude from saying "genuinely" every two sentences and keep it from explaining heavily what something _isn't_.

I use it for executing well-prepared plans sometimes. And for exploring larger codebases.

That's literally all I'm hoping for. Is it an insufferable cunt and does it write awful text, or is it nice to work with?

Yeah lots of weird emphasis on things a human wouldn't care about. And emphasis on what it isn't, rather than what it is. It's not Y, it's X. And there are two files!!!

Yeah. I'm actively avoiding giving mr far right any $$

I have, but honestly that was exactly what I am not looking for. Sometimes it picked a model for a Dutch email that totally does not support Dutch. Other times it would work fine. It's just a layer of indeterminism I wasn't looking for.

I'm wondering, is there a tool or something out there that helps me pick a model, in the vast sea of models out there these days? Every time I need a model for something I see the list on openrouter and I'm completely overwhelmed.

I'd love to be able to explain my use case, my cost preferences and have a tool select a few good models to try.

E.g. I wrote a tool that cleans out my email spam box. It classifies emails that are already flagged as spam, and if it's very obviously spam it removes it permanently (keeps a copy on disk though). And after x emails, it goes through the list of deleted spam mails and suggests email rules. What model would be best suited? I'd love to be able to explain this use case and get this info served to me. The list of models and the information about what they're good at is just too splintered and spread out. I landed on google/gemma-4-31b for now, because it's cheap and good enough and also supports Dutch and French a bit. But I can't realistically try them all.

No. If you're making maps and building a database of facts, I think the possibility of hallucinations is actively harmful.

Yeah they sent an official looking mail saying that someone took action against my review and that it was therefore removed.

Another thing they apparently do is let business owners (e.g. hotels) remove negative reviews because they're "defamatory".

I had a very factual 3-star review on a hotel that was supposedly very quiet, but was super noisy and the AC was not working. And there was literally nobody at the reception at the time of check-out and nobody picked up the phone either. All in all, nothing serious, but worth a review. Purely factual stuff, nothing bad-mouthed, just my experience and three stars.

A few months later the review was removed because it was "defamatory". I was able to get it reinstated by sending them proof of payment to the hotel and proof that I was there. A few months later, it was removed again! That same dance was repeated six times..... What a weird system.

And on top of that, we've all seen how confidently LLM's get things wrong. I've seen them get better, but even the current SOTA models fumble. Why would you want to send a bot a message "sure, reschedule my flight" and have a bot potentially fumble that in all sorts of ways? I really really do not see the appeal. My calendar and my emails and my things to do are all things I want to be on top of. Not have it half-assed or potentially messed up by a chatbot made to harvest all your data.

So I can turn it on using Home Assistant reliably.
