16 tokens / s is not nothing.

Apple isn't counting on their model to be a frontier coding and cowork model. Gemini is perfectly fine for the tasks that new Siri is supposed to be doing.

That is not the Grok CLI being discussed. That's an open source, third party CLI. https://x.ai/cli is the official Grok CLI being discussed, and it is not open source.

The avg coding session has hundreds or thousands of tool calls. Even a 5% failure rate noticeably notches up token use and cost. See Gemini.

Doubt. Tried it, Grok 4.5 is leaps and bounds ahead of Gemini for real work. And token costs vs. raw compute+electric cost is unit profitable too.

While I mostly agree with your post, I do want to point out one thing: > Or he could release a model trained largely by existing open weights models. Which without some huge breakt…

same happened to Opus 4.7

the British are notoriously sensitive to heat. They'll call 30 Celsius weather a heat wave.

do we think he found it on craigslist

Gemini pretty clearly has the best underlying model, and the worst RL and post-training of the lot.

It is ridiculous to be building infrastructure with a seventy five year lifespan under an assumption that may never come in its entire life.

Car apps, beside Tesla, are universally awful to use. Even Tesla's is not beyond reproach (app size is massive, for one), but at least it doesn't make me want to poke my eyes out. …

They are absolutely clueless about how to talk to this administration.

CC TUI is often a culprit of memory leaks, image-pasting is a nightmare, particularly over SSH, flickering all over the UI, among others.

You can! You just have to pay API prices.

google models are still very unreliable at actually calling the tools you want it to call.

I don't believe Anthropic trains on Trainium, only serves models on it.

Claude Code TUI is garbage. There's nothing worth protecting in there.

I do think Anthropic nailed their naming down much better than OpenAI

OpenAI's training is better suited to developing models that don't have these tendencies

I've never had a smelly Mac, and I've owned maybe 10 different ones across personal and various work laptops. And 90% of devs I've ever met have used Macs and none of them smell ei…

Google Search has been awful for the last couple of years. Good riddance to SEO.

Same. Overuse of the word "genuinely" is another tell.

Which apps have you seen ask for someone to setup a local LLM? Can't recall having ever seen one
