Does anybody use Phind? What do you use it for?

I use it, with the phind models, instead of chatGPT. I had to change my user agent to Chrome since too many sites would refuse to work with FF otherwise, and now chatGPT is stuck in an endless captcha loop whenever I go there. I am just a casual user, to help write a quick script or to get some bit of relevant info. It works just as well or better for my use case, and of course having actual citations with links is w…

My friend has the endless captcha loop on ChatGPT too. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Phind continues to be my favorite AI-enhanced search engine. They do a really nice job giving answers to technical questions with links to references where I can verify the answer or learn more detail.

Some recent examples from my history:

what video formats does mastodon support? https://www.phind.com/search?cache=jpa8gv7lv54orvpu2c7j1b5j

compare xfs and ext4fs https://www.phind.com/search?cache=h9rmhe6ddav1bnb2odtchdb1

on an apple ][ how do you access the no slot clock? https://www.phind.com/search?cache=w4cc1saw6nsqxyige7g3wple

The answers aren't perfect. But they are a good gloss and then the links to web sources are terrific. ChatGPT and Claude aren't good at that. Bing CoPilot sort of is but I don't like it as much.

Thank you! We think there's quite a bit of room for improvement still and are working on better answer organization and verifiability.

Hmm this versus Kagi Assistant?

Plan page says $20/mo Unlimited powerful Phind-405B and Phind-70B searches; Daily GPT-4o (500+) , Claude 3.5 Sonnet (500+), Claude Opus (10) uses

> Phind-405B scores 92% on HumanEval (0-shot), matching Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

Any other benchmarks?

I’ve use it since last year as a paid subscriber. I like it because of the technical nature as it will help you know the exact steps on how to get something done. I also use it for random things like bouncing ideas off or to enhance my knowledge retention of a subject.

It has a vscode extension. So if you use that, it makes some sense. Purely for search, I dont know. Ime phind is not that great with internet access, sometimes people disable the search function to get better answers.
