But recently impressed by Cline + Deepseek/Gemini
VS Code's free Copilot is also good for smaller tasks, as it has Claude 3.5, but Copilot very slow, no image support.
So if I need something more comprehensive, especially global view and planning, I'll use Windsurf.
VS Code Copilot is good for the simplest tasks.
Cline is in the middle, flexible.
- owenpalmer 2y agoI'm curious, why use Deepseek/Gemini over of Claude?
- Alifatisk 2y agoClaude is good but offers limited use before you get timed out, Deepseek is good and cheap.
- rudedogg 2y agoYou would think with the money being invested into Anthropic they would do better providing access to their model. I ended up cancelling my Claude subscription because I was constantly getting timed out, and I think I was getting pushed to a quantized or smaller model that sucked when I used it too much. Also their artifact UI sucks and doesn't update the code most of the time. It had apparently been broken for a while when I searched to see if other people had the issue.
- scottyeager 2y agoDeepSeek v3 offers Sonnet 3.5/GPT-4o level performance at ~10% of the cost. It's also the only open source model anywhere near the leading edge, which might be of interest for various reasons aside from immediate self hosting.
