You could consider going with OpenCode Go for 10$. The value you get is claimed to be 80$ in DeepSeek v4.1 Flash API value. I use that and so far it is good for me. Some claim they run a different quant but I so far don't see that.

They more or less had to. The PDF foundation has added JXL into the standard. Even Google can't afford to not display PDFs properly. Including it in the rendering engine is then just the logical next step.

Yer I also use service with zero data retention promises but it is hard to really trust them for me... They trained on basically all of the existing material, legal or illegal already and are starved for true human input. They are also in a heavy arms race were basically only a handful of companies will survive.

Yer, that is my bad for not updating myself, sorry. I did miss the introduction of Alt + Tab or /thinking command for switching this.

Good thing I can remove another package.

No I did not ask AI for this. This is the understanding I have from working with PI for a year.

They also say so on their website ( https://pi.dev/ ): "Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub-agents and plan mode. Ask Pi to build what you want, or install a package that does it your way."

I fully agree on the quality of the packages. Can vary quite a bit. I stick to very popular ones.

(yes, AI critique is now also made with AI. We have come full circle.)

Copied from myself above:

That goes against the philosophy of pi. Nearly Everything is a Plugin. Need to set the reasoning effort? Install pi-reasoning. Need subagents? Install pi-subagents. Need permission gating? Install one of the permission extensions (otherwise the agent can do everything).

A feature like cache warming on Anthrophic feels very strange in this environment. NOT saying that it is not useful. It just should be a plugin.

I wouldn't touch fields or canals. The US has incredible amounts of parking lots. They are also mostly built in very developed parts of the land with a lot of users for electric power in close proximity. And a parking lot is already "sealed ground". Might be less problematic to get a permit there?

Additional plus: cars don't heat up in the sun. And at some point you might even charge EVs there.

Am I, with around 30, in this generation? Putting * in words seems like self censorship to me. Still, might have a cultural component. German here.

I also no longer trust benchmarks on this one. When the context gets a bit longer and the problem harder low quant models often produce worse output for me. Sometimes they even loop.

Interestingly different formats also often behave differently. GGUF unsloth is so far the best for me.

Project Farm on YouTube has never disappointed me. The guy buys everything himself and finds creative & reproducible ways to test things.

The engram stuff is great because RAM is often still cheaper (or at least expandable). My company does currently look into buying some hardware as we handle confidential data and code.

Qwen 3.8 Flash is viable on two Nvidia 6000 96GB with a wood quant because you can put the 50GB Engram into RAM and the hit should be below 10% performance. At least that is what I have seen so far. Correct me if I'm wrong.
