Same experience for me. I think people need to start providing context for the type of work they're doing when repeating the local model hype. Maybe they're working with a cookie cutter React app and it does the job fine.

I work on Go and Rust mostly. The experience can be wildly different based on model, quantization, and harness. The fact that it didn't work for you doesn't mean everyone is trying to hype local models, people are getting real work done.

This feels like a symptom of the definition of "real work" changing right in front of us. Some people still use AI like a copilot, cleaning up code here and there, maybe writing functions. And at the right scale, this is genuinely still real work.

Others, especially startups or indie hackers, use AI like it were their end-all be-all assistant. "Hey Jeeves, go add Apple Sign In, Google Sign In to our signup pages. Also, investigate why we're not utilizing cached inputs on our AI APIs correctly. And add Maestro flows for every screen in our app. Btw check out posthog, supabase, and Stripe - is our new agent changing engagement or trial->paid conversion rates?"

And 3 hours later, you have all these done. But only if you use the right multi trillion param models.

My assumption is that a lot of these checks and changes lately are not well though out. They are knee jerk reaction to address something which was not anticipated in the original design. A lot of these changes to address scaling and abuse challenges probably fall into bucket of applying bandages on top of bandages. Maybe if Claude could build something to validate the baseline quality of the product to ensure these t…

What continues to perplex me is that these people claim that they will be able to contain AGI yet can't roll out a regex match? If AGI is possible then we're most certainly not containing anything.

Just give it a little time. AGI will be redefined to whatever is current and a new AI acronym will be coined for what everyone expected true AI to be in the first place.

Artificial Human Intelligence. Actually they'll probably drop the Artificial part. Human Scale Intelligence.

There were periods where I was entirely unable to use Claude Code for hour+ due to auth gateway always returning 500 or timing out, there was an "elevated errors" incident shown on status.claude.com, but zero minute of downtime recorded (not even "partial outage"). So the real uptime should be even worse.

The real uptime being worse than reported is basically an iron law of status pages. You happened to hit one outage and I'm sure many others hit separate outages at different times that also weren't counted.

Sure. Difference is there are not many other services with uncounted hour long / multi-hour outages.

Unironically yes. I predict that costs will grow to 80% of what it would cost a human, across the board for everything AI can do. "It's still cheaper than a human" they'll say. Loudly here on HN too. Of course this will happen slowly, very slowly. Lets meet again in 10-20 years.

Its not20 years. Its now. Nvidia has already said that tokens cost more than humans. https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/cost-c...

Article relies on a study published in Jan 2024 and a single sentence quote from an Nvidia exec, which sounds like it might have just a little bit been taken out of context.

The firms training those models have costs; without monetization they are even more unsustainable than subsidized commercial models. (Effectively, they are just a heavy form of subsidy ro overcome being commercially behind.)

The CCP wants to lead the world in AI. Market forces don't apply to the Chinese models.

Market forces won't apply to American models either if the American government bans Chinese-created models due to "national security".

Account is from 2016 with 6k karma? : doubt:

Why assume people would not buy and sell Hacker News accounts?

Seems unlikely. I had a hell of a time finding someone to sell me this one.

I really want to stick with A\ given everything known about Altman, but man are they speedrunning the "how to destroy your reputation" guidebook.

I’d argue sama is a far better person. At least you know his intentions, which is that he will do anything to win. And codex actually works, I can let it run for hours and at least come back and it’s done a good job. CC not only fucked me with false advertising on Opus that I cancelled, but it fucking stops working so often or sucks after a little bit of context usage. A\ ceo is a bad salesman (50% of X will lose the…

Funny, for me Claude Code works perfectly, and I don't have to wait for hours, my prompts are usually done within minutes. And the results are most of the time great.

All of these companies are unethical. They’ve all stolen everything from the working class.

Also what has been happening a long time is that if you try to do any opencode development Anthropic models will start replacing the word opencode with claude intermittently.

Imagine how difficult tool calling gets, when your ~/projects/opencode path gets intermittently replaced to ~/projects/claude during the roundtrip to Anthropic API

They have been fighting back a while already, eroding trust in their models as a price.

I was even able to have an absurd conversation with Claude about it, quite kafkaesque

Things like these (Google also banned me from Antigravity for briefly using an agent) and the massive quality swings made me cancel all 3 subs last week and resort to my local Qwen 3.6 only. Open models are already great and only getting better, and I really enjoy the privacy and consistency of a model I run myself.

I don't think anyone is questioning all the benefits of using local LLMs. Those are readily apparent. I just don't believe for an instant that they're anywhere in the same ballpark of capabilities as running Opus or similar. My time is the most valuable resource. Opus would need to be SIGNIFICANTLY more costly and unstable for me to start entertaining local models for day-to-day development. Perhaps whatever work you…

DeepSeek is close to SOTA today, as are Kimi and GLM. Yes they'll be slow and high-latency on ordinary hardware but let's be real, no one reasonable is running Opus or GPT on a 24/7 basis either. Local AI heavily rewards slow inference around the clock over fast response.
