Interesting! I was just thinking about pinging the creator of simple-bench.com and asking them if they intend to re-benchmark models after 3 months. I've noticed, in particular, Gemini models dramatically reducing in quality after the

Depending on task complexity, I like to write a small markdown file with the list of features or tasks. If I lose a session (with any model), I'll start with "we were disconnected, please review the desired features in 'featu

Unpopular opinion but I prefer slow and correct. My experience on Claude Max (still on it till end-of-month) has been frequent incomplete assignments and troubling decision making. I'll give you an example of each from yesterday. 1. As

The most annoying thing in the LLM space is that people write articles and research with grand pronouncements based upon old models. This article has no mention of Sonnet 4.5, nor does it use any of the actual OpenAI coding models (GPT-5-Co

That is one take and certainly possible and negative but I think people create libraries for different reasons. There are people who will use AI (out of their own pocket for trivial costs) to build a library and maintain it simply out of th

LLMS like Opus, Gemini 3, and GPT-5.2/5.1-Codex-max, are phenomenal for coding and have only very recently crossed that gap between being "eh" and being quite fantastic to let operate on their own agentically. The major trade

This is a cringe comment from an era of when "Micro$oft" was hip and reads like you are a fanboi for Anthropic/Google foaming at the mouth. Would be far more useful if you provided actual verifiable information and dropped th

I noticed a quite noticeable improvement to the point where I made it my go-to model for questions. Coding-wise, not so much. As an intelligent model, writing up designs, investigations, general exploration/research tasks, it's to

This is one of those areas where I think it's about the complexity of the task. What I mean is, if you set codex to xhigh by default, you're wasting compute. IF you're setting it at xhigh when troubleshooting a complex memory

What does this add to the conversation? This isn't Reddit.

This is the complete wrong way to do this. I say this as someone who does work in this area of leveraging LLMs to a limited degree in trading. LLMs are naive, easily convinced, and myopic. They're also non-deterministic. We have no way

I have to agree with you but I'll remain a skeptic until the preview tag is dropped. I found Gemini 2.5 Pro to be AMAZING during preview and then it's performance and quality unceremoniously dropped month after month once it went

Did you wait a while before downloading? The links it provides for temporary projects have a surprisingly brief window where you can download them. I've had similar experience when even waiting 1 minute to download the file.

I'm not a vegan but this argument makes no sense. Show me a scenario where the pack of wolves kills every single herd participant. Otherwise, I'd rather take my chances surviving in freedom than locked and airguned in the head. Th

Not to start a war but I've had 'fast' Claude write reams of slop code that I then have had to work with Codex to remove. Add this to the pile of "yeah but I saw the opposite with <insert model>" - but that&#x

Gemini has been so far behind agentically it's comical. I'll be giving it a shot but it has a herculean task ahead of itself. It has to not only be "good enough" but a "quantum leap forward". That said, OpenAI

I think it's hard because it's quite artistic and individualistic, as silly as that may sound. I've built "large projects" with AI, which is 10k-30k lines of algorithmic code and 50k-100k+ lines of UI/Interface

Why are you using cutting edge models for all providers except OpenAI? Stuck out to be because I love seeing how models perform against each other on tasks. You have Sonnet 4.5 (super new) which is why it stood out when o3 is ancient (in LL

I have not! I'm shocked and disappointed if it's on by default. I don't see any AI features in my Firefox UI...

I'm usually an early adopter but wow every single browser except Firefox features AI integrations. It feels like a recipe for profound privacy leaks in the future. I suppose that's already a risk with OpenAI/Anthropic/Ge

This is Edge with "Copilot". Considering Copilot uses GPT-5. I feel like we're going in a loop. Only supports OSX, so it's Edge w/copilot without cross-platform. Why?

In agreement. Large caveats that can explain differing opinions (that I've experienced) are: * Is really only magic on Linux or WSL. Mediocre on Windows * Is quite mediocre at UI code but exceptional at backend, engineering, ops, etc.

It's very interesting, and also quite frustrating that no two AI experiences are the same. Scrolling through the threads here and they're all seemingly contradictory. I've had the Gemini 3.0 (presumably) A/B test and bee

If I can take a slight tangent. This is what I will remember OpenAI for. Not the Closed vs Open debate. They caused the democratization of access to AI models. Prior to ChatGPT, I would hear about these great models Deep Mind and Google wer

I've found GPT-5-Codex (the model used by default by OpenAI Codex CLI) to be superior but, as others have stated, slower. Caveat, requires a linux environment, OSX, or WSL. In general, I find that it will write smarter code, perform sm

I've experienced the opposite. Gemini is actually the MOST sycophantic model. Additionally, despite having "grounding with google search" it tends to default to old knowledge. I usually have to inform it that it's presen

Surprisingly, this isn't clickbait. It's more that it's a qualitative rather than quantitative analysis. It's more of a cultural and psychological impact piece. I expected something basically dismissing AI as a mass-delu

The website clearly lays them out as 400k input and 128k output [1]. I just updated my AI apps to support the new models. I routinely fill the entire context on large code calls. Input is not a "shared" context. I found 100k was b

This is why you need to have your own set of personal benchmarks. I have a few short stories that I have models continue (ones I wrote ages ago in my youth) or refactor. Some models are fantastic at writing but miss key details or enmesh th

My experience has been that Claude Code is exceptional at tool use (and thus working with agentic IDEs) but... not the smartest coder. It will happy re-invent the wheel, create silos, or generate terrible code that you'll only discover
