true but thats not how we work. We see a problem, we make a plan and then we adjust the plan as we find the flaws. trying to reason about all the ways it can go wrong after a point just stops one from starting the task. Which is exactly wha

Have you looked at using oMLX? https://omlx.ai/

> you break it you buy it. Works well for lower stack systems or juniors merging stuff into a development environment not so well for production.

It’s not just bloat at this point. I run oMLX and run models locally. using Claude code on the first message dumps 40k of tokens that my laptop takes 5 mins to compute. I’ve stopped using it completely now.

I’ve always disliked the opus models whenever I use them after they have done the task they rattle out massive reports about what has changed or worse actually save that to disk even after being asked not to do it.

i hate the "agent" side of cursor and the keep pushing me to change to it. sure if what i want is lots of agents all in different projects so i can jump between them sure but when i'm working on software it is usually one thi

i found this with 4.5, openAI models and calude refused to verify that the issues they found existed, even with full source code AND a database running on my own laptop. grok however found the same issues, tested to make sure it was exploit

pretty sure at this point no one is retraining from zero they have their big model and they fine tune it. different training makes a different version (agent, info sec etc).

Is it? OpenAI released a gpt oss safeguard. You give it a policy it gives you a Rating Messages comes in rate it and reject with hitting the model. Then you don’t need to fill the prompt with “please don’t do this” https://huggin

Grok is $2 in and $6 out. 4.8 is $5 in and $25 out. It’s not as quite as smart as opus 4.8 but it’s close and x4 the cheaper.

question did you review the code or did you test it was working? these are different things. and if you did review it, could an engineer without deep Rust experience have reviewed it just as effectively? I have no doubt that you can get a L

GitHub login on iOS is just broken. GitHub gives 404 after logging in so I can’t event try it.

True but if the reviewer doesn’t have an intimate understanding of rust then the fact it can’t “slop” is no different than unreadable slop. Go is simple, no “magic” marcos or meta programming even with just a little programming in any langu

I’ve started doing a similar thing after reading a post on hn about manually applying the code so that you actually understand it. I have done this for all my work this week and it works quite well. For one it lets you actually query the LL

Is it RLHF if there is no human feedback?

same things happens with npm and CVEs, most of the ones that bubble up aren't even called in my application so are no applicable. go lang has a scanner [0] which only shows issues when the code actually calls the effected functions. [0

that is not an model issue but a harness one, if you don't want it to have io to files or run command then simple don't give it access to the tools.

I actually use grok as my planner and then composer for coding like opusplan in Claude.

by vorticalbox 2mo ago
It seems to me that people have a dislike like for Elon then just blanket everything with the same label. It might be called grok out it was trained by the composer team using a large chunk of their training data.

Cursor has two “modes” agent and ide. In agent mode it’s horrible for editing files etc but better if you are juggling multiple chats

Putting the whole model in memory is far faster then swapping to disk.

by vorticalbox 2mo ago
I think cursor will likely do a grok fine tune rather than a kimi one for the next composer. they noted in their blog post they didn't focus purely on coding for grok 4.5.

this is why i like golang these sorts of things just don't matter, go fmt move on with life.

I encountered the same issue. Kimi 2.7 looked impressive on paper, but in practice, the code was so riddled with errors that I ended up using GPT-5.5 to fix it.

in the same way claude and codex both use their paid models by default. at least codex and grok are open source so we can see what is going on.

I always like testing out new things to put into my workflow. the first thing I will say is that its a welcome change to have an app 40 MB rather than over 400

i remeber reading in one of the release blog posts that that version was the "first that codex helped train"
