I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks "Vibe CLI" sounds like an unserious tool. I use Claude Code a lot and little of it is what I would consider Vibe Coding.

If you’re letting Claude write code you’re vibe coding

No, that's not the definition of "vibe coding". Vibe coding is letting the model do whatever without reviewing it and not understanding the architecture. This was the original definition and still is.

I don't suppose you have (or would be interested in writing) a blog post about how you set that up? Or maybe a list of links/resources/prompts you used to learn how to get there?

No, I don't blog. But I just followed the docs for starting an instance on lambda.ai and the llama.cpp build instructions. Both are pretty good resources. I had already setup an SSH key with lambda and the lambda OS images are linux pre-loaded with CUDA libraries on startup. Here are my lazy notes + a snippet of the history file from the remote instance for a recent setup where I used the web chat interface built int…

Thanks, much appreciated.

The fact that pelicans can't ride bicycles is pretty much the point of the benchmark! Asking an LLM to draw something that's physically impossible means it can't just "get it right" - seeing how different models (especially at different sizes) handle the problem is surprisingly interesting. Honestly though, the benchmark was originally meant to be a stupid joke. I only started taking it slightly more seriously about…

> If a model draws a really good picture of a pelican riding a bicycle there's a solid chance it will be great at all sorts of other things. Why? If I hired a worker that was really good at drawing pelicans riding a bike, it wouldn't tell me anything about his/her other qualities?!

Your comment is funny, but please note: it's not drawing a pelican riding a bike, it's describing in SVG a pelican riding a bike. Your candidate would at least displays some knowledge of the SVG specs.

I really do not want those things in Claude COde - I much prefer choosing my own diff tools etc. and running them in a separate terminal. If they start stuffing too much into the TUI they'd ruin it - if you want all that stuff built in, they have the VS Code integration.

Mind elaborating a bit on the diff tool / flow you’re using? Trying to follow along better with what CC is doing

Claude code run in a VS Code terminal window pops up a diff in VSCode before making changes. Not sure if that helps. I do have the Claude Code extension installed too.

I find the flow works bc if it starts going off piste I just end it. Plus I then get my pre-commit hooks etc. I still like being relatively hands on though.

I'm glad it's not another LLM CLI that uses React. Vibe-cli seems to be built with https://github.com/textualize/textual/

I'm not excited that it's done in python. I've had experience with Aider struggling to display text as fast as the llm is spitting it out, though that was probably 6 months ago now.

thats an issue with aider. using a proper framework in the alternate terminal buffer would have greatly benefitted them

Maybe they are just trying to be funny.

Their chat was called "Le Chat" - it's just their style.

And while it may miss the HN crowd, one of the main selling-points of AI coding is the ease and playfulness.

Just added it to our inventory. For those of you using Nix: nix run github:numtide/llm-agents.nix#mistral-vibe The repo is updated daily.

This is such a cool project. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Playing with packaging automation is actually quite fun.
