You should try a better harness. Try pi, or ohmypi if you want a good OOB experience

I’m in the Claude code harness for everything boat too. What are the alternatives?

I’ve tried a bunch of them, and I seriously do not understand these recommendations. It was a rough road and a steep hill, but right now CC is absolutely the best harness on the market, as for me, whatever top tier model is under the hood (mostly, some of them, like DeepSeek, don’t fit CC at all).

I'm not that up to date with the latest AI developments, but I noticed that this article seems to use "Cyber Capabilities" as a shorthand for the model's ability at cybersecurity tasks? Is that now an established expression, same as "crypto" now refers to cryptocurrencies rather that cryptography? Because "cybernetics" actually means something different (yeah, old man yelling at clouds, I know)...

Make cyber not Cyber.

There are a over a dozen EU open-weight providers. I’m not sure if they are even charging that much of an extra. EU-based clients have little reason to use non-EU inference providers.

I don’t have user statistics but my mail/domain registrar Infomaniak advertises Qwen 3.5 and Apertus, “a Swiss open-source AI model, developed by EPFL, ETH Zurich and CSCS”

thank you all! got something to tinker with this weekend

i like to challenge my assumptions and try new tools

Anthropic needs to teach Opus how to speak English again, because Opus 5 seems to have forgotten. Utterly incoherent a lot of the time. They seem to be so busy scare-mongering and cooking up guardrails and watermarks that they haven't noticed that their models are getting weird.

Amen brother, at this point I just copy and paste Claude's (Opus 5, Opus 4.8 -- doesn't matter which) summaries over to the window Kimi is in and: this is from claude, turn it into English for me would you? """ [claude's tortuous prose] """ No amount of asking it to answer me in a straight-forward manner, to be succinct, to not use phrases like "honest caveat", "crux", "load-bearing", "blocker", etc ever sticks for m…

Modern benchmarks across the board really need to start severely penalizing disobedience and hallucination. A year ago models weren't really strong enough to justify this but they are now-- the frontier isn't in squeezing out the next bit of task completion, it's in making common cases not periodically be disastrously wrong.

A lot of the total cost of AI is fixing its "truth shaped errors", particularly in the presence of models that are very "gaslighty" when corrected.

GLM-5.2 is really the only model I've spent much time using that I didn't fatigue from being regularly lied to by the model, but that might be partially luck.

Inversely I don’t understand the praise for CC. These days it feels like bloatware. It absolutely can get the work done but when I measure on token and time use it ends up being a multiple of pi like harnesses.

CC works but for me it felt like increasingly they have zero incentive to make it a great experience. You hear folks like Boris talk about spinning up thousands of agents over night and agents chatting back and forth in GitHub issues and while I think it’s great from figuring out what the future looks like I don’t think it represents the reality of ROI today. So the folks building the tool are so disconnected I am simply not sure it’s a great experience anymore.

what is this comment based on ? vibes?

Vibes like your low quality comment?

What’s the counter argument? pi and ohmypi are pretty fantastic. Of course like all developer tools it depends how you do your work but I am not sure what you are trying to achieve in your comment.

If you like running everything in a VM and using a web browser as your UI, Shelley is very good: https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley

It works nicely in the browsers on my tablet and phone, too.

On exe.dev you can ask it to customize itself, and it will automatically rebase your customizations when upgrading to a new release.

Anyone who knows anything realises banning things is a) impossible and b) your enemies will use them anyway, you are just depriving your own side of the advantages.

> Anyone who knows anything realises banning things is a) impossible and Maybe "It's really hard" is more accurate? We (humanity) for most part basically agreed to ban the usage of various chemical weapons in wartime, which seems to have drastically reduced the usage of it, even though it's still used by shit actors today from time to time. But it's hard to deny that usage didn't decrease after banning it, which make…

T3 Code has been amazing. Completely free. Really impressed with the desktop app and the mobile app experience and the way it works seamlessly has me actually accomplishing tons of stuff while I'm out on mobile that I would otherwise have to wait to come home for. First time in a while I'm actually excited to use a desktop UI instead of the terminal. Blows away the official Claude Code mobile app. I can switch between my Claude and Codex monthly subscriptions in it as well. There's a TestFlight beta SwiftUI mobile version that's so much nicer than the one in the App Store. I'm running the nightly version of the desktop app.

And this is coming from someone that's not particularly a big fan of Theo. T3 Code should get more recognition; people aren't just aware of it yet.
