That's very well put. I noticed the issue myself when building my own evals and naturally started drifting into the direction you are describing, but you describe it so succinctly that now I am seeing how it should actually be done. Thank you

One of the first very cool demos I've seen of ChatGPT was in a post where the author prompted AI "pretend to be a terminal". Then went on to execute commands like `cd .fbi`, `ls files`, `cat files/confidential.txt`. Very fun demo. Looking forward to exploring similar idea with this terminal

Organization. I am always lost. Gitlab pipelines seem much more straigh forward to understand for me.

As someone who’s been building AI for CAD[0] with OpenSCAD. I’m very thankful to OpenSCAD maintainers it’s been a life saver. Terse syntax, a lot of plugins and great CSG kernel.

People keep saying I should use other kernels for fillets and stuff, but from my testing AI is just not as good with, for example build123d as it is with OpenSCAD.

Was curious how the race looks like if you look at Pareto frontier of LLM capability since this hype started. So I asked Claude to generate me a video. And it's quite insane how good it is and I thought you guys might find it interesting too.

How did you connect it to search console and do you like the integration? I would like to do this too, and eventually to Google Ads too.

It really depends on the complexity of the model you are trying to generate and the budget you have.

You mean people blind in one eye? I think it still works, but obviously depth perception will not be there

Surprisingly Gemini models. Spatial understanding seems to be the best for the price and speed.

https://grandpacad.com - AI modeling for 3D printing Been at it for about year and a half.

Really exciting stuff is happening literally every month, because underlying models are getting better and better. When I started it was pretty basic: “make a cube with a hole through it”. Now it’s at the point “make a raspberry pi 4 case” and the agent searches, builds, verifies…

What surprised me in this process is how little meaning AI benchmarks have. Pareto frontier for my use case looks completely different than any other benchmark portrays.

> I have a feeling that the price of 1 million tokens transmitted over the internet is more expensive than cache hit.

And this kinda makes sense. What is cheaper few KB of disk space or internet bandwidth?

We went for 16% intelligence bump according to artificial analysis for +82% of the cost. Interesting.

Comparing 4.8 Opus with Fable 5.1

Comment · 2 months ago
On my benchmark where AIs generate ~20 different 3D models about 1/2 the time of Opus and 1/3 of the time of Kimi K3 and 2/3 of time of sonnet.

Yeah you can absolutely do multiple parts, although the mating features are still a bit rough you can do a lot already.
