It's also pretty cheap if you're paying for it (for coding). But I don't quite trust it for anything complicated, so I often use Terra.

- redox99 2mo agoTerra is awful and not cheap enough to make up for it. I'd suggest using luna or sol.
- Sammi 2mo agoSo Luna is more awful but it's OK because it's cheaper?
- redox99 2mo agoYes. You're better off running Luna Max or Sol Medium and never touching Terra.
- LaurensBER 2mo agoI've had great success with using Luna and having DeepSeek 4 Flash check Luna's output. Oh My Pi has a mode built-in that does this automatically ("advisor" mode). Deepseek only interrupts when it spots an issue so it doesn't slow Luna down. Both models are cheap enough that I can run 4 sessions at the same time without running out of the 20 USD codex and 10 USD Opencode plan. I've burned through almost a billion tokens this week and I've done some pretty big refactors as well. I have a Claude Max subscription but I've barely been using it because of the many issues they've had this week.
- dannyw 2mo agoYes, in the same way a basic, dry hotdog at $5 is bad, but I could love it in $0.50. Pricing absolutely matters.
- ssl-3 2mo agoIndeed. I buy 2 hot dogs for $1 at Sheetz sometimes. For that price, I get them with mustard, onions, and sauerkraut already on them. They are not excellent in any way. I will probably never love them. :) But they're available 24/7/365 and they don't take long for the staff to throw together. And most importantly: They sure are cheap. (Costco's $1.50 dog+Coke is much higher quality and presents a better value, but it requires visiting a Costco and that has its own cost.)
- stuartq 2mo agoTerra is far from awful. I've not used Luna enough to judge whether it's significantly better than Luna, but at least via GitHub Copilot, Terra is leaps ahead of Sonnet 5.
