    Better than Opus 4.8 on complex tasks but tends to overthink. It found a bunch of bugs and architecture issues that only 5.6 Sol Max and Fable on my C++ projects.

    It depends on what you need, but Krea/Klein9b/Ideogram4/Z-Image are among the best right now for text2image and Qwen Edit and Klein are probably still the best at editing.

    Yup. Smells like marketing.

    They've been investing heavily into this over the last 2 releases, but it's just that SideFX is a really small company. I think they have 50 people or so right now. Karma is way mo…

    And that's when you learn Houdini and open up a workflow from 2008 and it still works the same, despite SideFX pushing out an insane amount of features every release (look at their…

    Work more for my boss and landlord so the fiefdom can survive.

    It also goes to show that Fable/Sol must be 4-5T in size.

    Ling/Ring 1T-A50B and the new Inkling 975B-A41B deserve to be on that list.

    Which would be very interesting to test, as larger models (such as Deepseek V4 Flash or Qwen 397B) seem to compress better. Their Q2 quants are usable as is, even without the terna…

    A shame it has Marc Maron in it.

    Please don't use that garbage. Just use the base Qwen models or Nex/Orinth, as those are the only properly post-trained finetunes. The Qwopus models are marketing.

    "DeepSeek-V4-Flash will fit" At Q2, 2bit? Lobotomized to death.

    NVFP4 will be better if the model provider actually post-trained properly after quantizing.

    You're late to the party, mate; we've been doing this for years. Grab a SearXNG instance, stand up an MCP server for it, and expose the tool into your system prompt. Or use Brave S…

    This has been answered many times already. The short version: Brave's adblocker is not an extension, so manifest v3 has no effect on it.

    To be fair, GPT5.5-Xhigh is similarly capable and has not burned the world down.

    Anthropic nuked a big chunk of that "developer sentiment" when they rug-pulled us with the rate limits and gaslit us with "it was just a bug, guys!".

    How is this not getting any traction? This is a massive problem. Pretty much every Reddit news app out there is now dead.

    Did you even use it? It was nerfed to hell and back. It stopped following instructions, forgot what sub-agents responded and so on. Stop spreading this pro-Anthropic narrative. The…

    If Tauri ever gets proper webgpu support, that'll be the Electron killer.

    Claude Code poisons non-anthropic models in usage. We found this out when the code was leaked. Use a fork or OpenCode/pi-coding-agent

    Ask western models about Israel's genocides and mass rapes in Palestine, Lebanon, etc.
