Claude has been left in the dust by Gemini with its million token session and ability to upload a zip file of my entire code base.

Context is only one part of it. I tried using Gemini and got sub par results. comment-laden code with not not following instructions.

The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview release, and have seen the direction over time. The "golden" end state of coding agents is that you give it a Feature Request (EG Jira ticket), and it gives you a PR to review and give feedback on. Cursor, windsurf, etc, are dead ends in tha…

Not sure about that golden end state. Mine would be being in a room surround by screens with AI agents coding, designing, testing, etc. I would be there in the center giving guidance, direction, applying taste, etc… All conversational, wouldn’t need to touch the keyboard 99% of the time.

That's what I want and look forward one day

Hasn't this been invented already in multiple shapes and forms..? I wrote my own version clai[1] over a year ago which does exactly this, only that it has tools support + is multi vendor. [1]: https://github.com/baalimago/clai

Looks quite similar to my https://llm.datasette.io tool as well.

Honestly though, CLI tools for accessing LLMs (including piping content in and out of them) is such a clearly good idea I'm glad to see more tools implementing the pattern.

I wonder if anyone has done an analysis on the HN user sentiment on the varying AI models over time. I'd be curious to see what that looks like. Increasingly, I'm seeing more and more people talk positively about Gemini and Google (and having used Gemini recently, I align with that sentiment) I think Bard (lol) and Gemini got a late start and so lots of folks dismissed it but I feel like they've fully caught up. Defi…

Gemini hit the top of a bunch of leaderboards recently so it probably prompted folks to try Gemini out and they found it useful.

Isn’t that effectively the promise of the most recently released OpenAI codex?

From the reviews I’ve been able to find so far though, quality of output is ehh.

I can easily see this happening in 2-3 years. Some chat apps already have outstanding voice mode, such as GPT-4o. It's just a matter of integrating that voice mode, and getting the understanding and generated code to be /slightly/ better than it is today.
