The main thing that was dumbing me down (and burning me out) was having to babysit LLMs on anything except basic tasks if I care about code quality/structure/maintainability. I love coding, it always felt like Legos for adults. No

Coinbase, CloudFlare, Cisco. Another round of layoffs at CrowdStrike would fit the pattern nicely.

Thank you! I've got a lot to say on the topic but I'll be making a video for launch showcasing everything. For the open source angle, I think it's just a net positive for more people to have access to a way to build with LLMs

I've never enjoyed AWS more than with LLMs managing infra as code through sst.dev

I'm working on https://engine.build It's a durable orchestration system for AI code generation which solves the problem of not being able to trust LLMs to complete long running (and high quality) implementations withou

I'm building a robust runtime for this. It's externally orchestrated and managed, not by an agent running the the loop. The goal is to force LLMs to produce exactly what you want every time. I will be open sourcing soon. You can u

I think babysitting LLMs is exactly the thing that burns you. Presuming you meant burns you out though.

I enjoy the OpenSpec format but I think maintaining the main specs is not worth it. I've stopped doing it entirely and just archive directly after implementation. When you do the sync process, it just keeps drifting and drifting until

Because I don't trust LLMs to fully implement what I want on the first try unless I babysit them. And it's the hand holding that burns people out. I use detailed specs to implement but I don't maintain those specs as the sour

Yes, but locked to the official DeepSeek provider since it's the only one that has the discounted pricing.

I tweeted about some implementation and review runs that used V4 Pro. Even without the currently discounted pricing, the value is incredible. It takes about twice as long to finish code reviews given an identical context compared to opus 4.

switch to Pi.dev or any other multi model harness, you can switch between models every message if you feel like it. Anthropic have blocked usage of your subscription however with third party harnesses.

Wow and it's not even used. I guess they took it to resell on their handle marketplace?

Previous gpt image models could (when generating, not editing) but gpt-image-2 can't. Noticed it earlier while updating my playground to support it https://github.com/alasano/gpt-image-playground

Agreed on the fact that it should know, it's their LLM. What bothers me is even having it do extensive research in documentation, it still can't figure it out. GCP must simply be so unintuitive that the LLM mind cannot comprehend

When typing no but when using speech to text (99% of the time) it's much easier to just say things, including expressing frustration. I think by the point you're swearing at it or something, it's a good sign to switch to a se

My favorite Google LLM benchmark is asking Gemini models to create a script that fetches API usage (just request counts) for a project from GCP. 100% failure rate.

maybe they had a check to determine total value of all collected seeds and then triggered auto sweeps from a certain threshold to guarantee a minimum. Not sure what the game theory optimal way of stealing is!

It seems like I see a new agent sandbox startup or product get released every day. With Anthropic launching Claude Managed Agents yesterday, it felt like a good time to build an overview showcasing all the providers we could find.

If you prepare yourself a token with "claude setup-token" (presuming you're not already locked out and had one) you can run "CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=sk.. claude" to use your account.

Your comment could have been "I prefer these open source alternatives:" but you chose to be a hater. There's nothing wrong with offering services that people find useful.
