Slightly ot but I've been using OpenAI's GPT 5.4 on Codex and so far finding it more convincing than Claude with Opus 4.6 at maximum thinking for my use cases. I'm more interested in helping with design and architecture rather than having it author tons of code. Keep in mind that OpenAI has a way more generous tier for 20$ than Anthropic's one, and I think you can even use codex for free with the latest models, so gi…

I agree it seems better at complex work. However, I find that it often tries to make ALL work complex. I had a simple bug fix where I knew exactly what the 1-2 line fix was. GPT 5.4 added like 200 LOC and started refactoring the entire function of the app. Was the refactor possibly an improvement? Maybe, but I needed the fix quick so I stopped it and switched to Claude, which did exactly what I was expecting.

Can people drop a good LocalLlama setup that I can run on M4?

Not sure about LocalLlama, but have you tried LMStudio? If you use Zed it will auto-pickup whatever model you enable on LMStudio. I keep meaning to write a blog post about this for people unaware that you can pair the two pretty easily on a Mac. I mostly use CC but like to test offline models now and then to see how far they've come along.

I use Ollama to run local models but have never used one with CC. Curious what models work best for people.

Can someone that's worked at one of these big companies honestly explain how it happens that when these guys are down, it's never for like 10-15 mins ... it's always 1-2+ hours? Do they not have mechanisms in place to revert their migrations and deployments? What goes on behind the scenes during these "outages"?
