OpenAI's track record has been rather poor this month as well actually, look at all the yellows and reds: https://status.openai.com/

Not intending to defend OpenAI here, but their MAU (800 million) does dwarf most other AI companies, anthropic included. I do not envy the engineers there working on scaling.

Would you do 9-9-6 if your comp. is 8-9 figures/year?

On flights with shitty wifi I have been running gpt-oss:120b on my macbook using ollama. Ok model for coding if you can't reach a good one.

Could you share which Macbook model? And what context size you're getting.

I just checked gpt-oss:20b on my M4 Pro 24GB, and got 400.67 tokens/s on input and 46.53 tokens/s on output. That's for a tiny context of 72 tokens.

Not sure MAU is the best metric here. I was recently surprised to find out their revenues are actually kind of close 12B vs 7B, so maybe closer (than could be fairly described as being dwarfed) in terms of token count?

This is the part in the movie where they have to convince the grizzled hacker to come out of retirement because he's the only one who can actually operate Emacs or vim and write code.

Sir the vibe coding didn’t work, break the glass and call in dev!

It’s wall e but for devs

This is why I asked this question yesterday: "Ask HN: Why don't programming language foundations offer "smol" models?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45840078 If I could run smol single language models myself, I would not have to worry.

The answer to most convenient solutions is money. There's no money in that.

And or, the lower parameter models are straight up less effective than the giants? Why is anyone paying for sonnet and opus if mixtral could do what they do?

Should be a bit faster if you run an MLX version of the model with LM Studio instead. Ollama doesn't support MLX.

Qwen3-Coder is in the same ballpark and maybe a bit better at coding

Not just any code. COBOL or FORTRAN. Heady stuff.
