I've been using DeepSeek exclusively since I've been playing with LLMs, largely due to the price. I joined a company that is an Anthropic shop and I am genuinely shocked. Sonnet 5 …

I take that back, Haiku is considerably worse at following instructions compared to DeepSeek Flash

It's because of my workflow, I think. I have my IDE open and a prompt a given task with limited scope - like "write a function that does xyz" "add tests" "create an endpoint that a…

I've been using DeepSeek v4 flash for guided agent workflows (in-IDE, prompt/review diffs) and have found no noticeable benefit to using Haiku, Opus, Sonnet in this workflow. For a…

You can configure it with just config files. Database is optional, if you add one, you get advanced caching. It's just a single executable. wget https://downloads.getmaxim.ai/bifro…

Under $20 it's a flat $0.8 fee. Over $20 it's +5.5% + credit card charges (+1.5%)

It's more just the value for money. It doesn't really offer me anything valuable other than billing consolidation - and the markup is excessive for that use case. If I was using th…

I do understand the reasoning for it, it still sucks as a user who is doing the right thing.

Yeah I looked at it, LiteLLM is functionally more mature. The only reason I didn't go for it is I'm not a fan of Python dependency management, Bifrost is just a single executable t…

For me, the only utility OpenRouter gives me is billing consolidation - I don't really need the routing capabilities because I use Bifrost for that. As a router, it's not very feat…

I love the Chinese models. I use DeepSeek exclusively and now Kimi K3 offers a great planning assistant for more advanced coding tasks. DeepSeek v4 Flash is extremely fast and is a…

Thanks :)

https://onlytrades.live/ Being unemployed and wanting to make something, I started studying quantitative trading concepts and got into algorithmic trading. I decided to build out a…

Any chance you could share how you achieved that? I've been using LLMs a lot and they have been a force multiplier, but I am not sure I could knock out a year's worth of work in 2 …

Despite acknowledging that LLMs improve my productivity and am happy with how they have positively affected my life - I'm a bit cynical about the trajectory of this "AI bubble" and…

Sorry that you're being blamed. People have a pretty negative sentiment towards Americans in general right now because we have been watching helplessly in horror as our best friend…

Something I wonder about in this domain is if this is the fault of the language. Game development is usually in C++ or C#. With C++, bugs are a nightmare to find. C# less so, but t…

This is a great point. In the past this is how I learned to architect software in general as you are never the only contributor and often must accommodate the contributions of cont…

I'd be fine if it cut both ways. It shouldn't be legal for works distributed by people under licenses that would prohibit derivative work whilst if I reverse engineered a Nintendo …

To be fair, most of their votes don't actually count. And even with our westminster system, One nation has swept the right wing. Considering how many seats they will likely get in …

That's why experience + cost effective model is IMO the best combination. Experience allows you to design the skeleton where the implementation details are often inconsequential. T…

If I spoke freely about how I feel about the US right now and the direct personal impact of policies implemented by the recent administration, I'd be denied entry into the country …

I am using Flash and accessing the API directly via vscode insiders and occasionally Zed (it's buggy but I keep coming back to it because I want it to succeed). Unless you need ent…

I wish it was as simple as `git clone --lazy` I had previously worked on a big tech monorepo that has gigabytes of history. It would take forever to clone or do operations on. I ha…
