Advice: remove all slop and fluff from the website such as "Everything you need. Nothing you don’t." Just state the information you want to communicate in the plainest and most straightforward way possible.

You’d be surprised how hard this actually is. I spent 3 days iterating on a marketing site, where I had very explicit / “well written” copy, and it would just repeatedly rewrite it back to the most awful slop. Over and over again! Ended up adding various AGENTS rules telling it to leave the copy alone

Just...write it yourself.

Definitely easier and better than just writing the copy..

I think they're saying that they _had_ written the copy themselves, but were using the clanker for other tasks, and it kept going off course to "improve" the copy.

Is „frontier“ overused? I thought frontier models were the best-of-the-best such as Fable right now. I assume you can’t host these models yourself since you would need many GB of RAM and expensive GPU of is my thinking of „frontier models“ wrong?

The frontier is a curve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_front

That's not what people are normally referring to when they say "frontier models". It means the most capable models full stop. Not the most capable that you can run locally.

That is one sense, but it is also use to refer to the frontier of capability. Especially in this context.

Only interesting thing about this vibe coded runner is the MLX support, as that's still annoying to use in other ones, most still use GGUFs. Unsloth Studio which is an OSS runner I use is still in progress with MLX support although it's still a ways away.

I don’t think anyone ever looked at result. Website if full of overflow bugs. It’s pure slop.

I'm surprised that their home page basically acts as if LM Studio and others don't already do this. It's not clear what the difference is from a glance. It also omits Open WebUI. I've been running Deepseek V4 Flash locally on my Macbook Pro for weeks using Open WebUI + DS4.

I was wondering the same and assuming I'd overlooked something.
