Frontier models aren't marginally more costly. They are 6 to 10 times as expensive based on their API pricing.

The LLM objective is whatever they are trained to do, whether it's completing text, obeying instructions, coding, etc. In pre-training, we drop a lot of human-written text in them. This allows them to learn the rules of language and gr

We do the same thing. We pick words that are statistically likely to get us what we want. And much of it is unconscious. You don't formally reason about every word you speak. You are focused on your objective, and your brain fills in t

Claude Code is free if you have a subscription to Claude. It's much more affordable than using the API key directly.

If you need precision, that's the way to go, and it's usually cheaper and faster too.

It's a hybrid reasoning model. It's good with tool calls and doesn't think too much about everything, but it regularly uses outdated tool formats randomly instead of the standard JSON format. I guess the V3 training set has a

The first self-announced vibe coder was a founder of OpenAI. So he had the knowledge. He started to trust the code written by the models to a point where he didn't always read the code. This happens when you you have learned the exact

Claude is expensive. Falling back to a more expensive model seems counterproductive.

You should try GLM 4.5; it's better in practice than Kimi K2 and Qwen3 Coder, but it's not getting much hype.

Providing agents with relevant documentation including code samples and API references should help a lot in your scenario. Relevant documentation helps a lot when you're working with obscure languages or libraries.

It's ridiculously overpriced in the API. Just like o3 used to be.

GitHub made git popular, and git made GitHub popular. So the major mercurial hosts (especially bucket) decided that it wasn't worth supporting even for their existing users. That was the mail in Mercurial's coffin. Google also dec

They search for the token of interest, e.g. grep -n then they read that line and the next 50 lines or so. They continue until they get to the end.

The LLMs can easily be trained to teach people how to use new programming languages.
