Honest, non-confrontational, non-passive aggressive question: Have you used any of the latest models in the last 6 months to do coding? Or frankly, in the last year?
- satvikpendem 6mo agoThey note in another comment they don't even use search engines so I don't think they're the right person to ask regarding frontier models.
- darth_aardvark 6mo agoI'd ask them what tools they do use, but I doubt they'll see my comment; I'll see if I can mail it to them.
- bandrami 6mo ago(Why wouldn't I see your comment?) I just don't use the web much anymore because the experience has degraded so much over the past several years and it has become decreasingly useful at work as well. I do sometimes need to search for a document and find Kagi pretty good for that, but the old way of using a search engine to kind of explore and discover stuff just isn't viable anymore, unfortunately. I administer software for a living so I read a lot of documentation of that software but it comes with the software so I don't ever really need to search for it; I also read and participate in some forums and us the relevant IRC channels.
- bigstrat2003 6mo agoI have. And the people who say "use a frontier" model are full of it. The frontier models aren't any better than the free ones.
- satvikpendem 6mo agoWhat are you defining as free versus frontier, and for what purpose? For coding there is a big difference between Opus and GPT 5.3/4 versus Sonnet and other models such as open weight ones.
