DeepSeek V4 Flash. I used Claude before and loved it, no complaint other than it cost more than I’m eager to pay. It's for a side project, so no employer that foots the bill.
Anyway, I switched to DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro for a while and I enjoyed that it was cheap enough to get work done. I also tried GLM 5.3/5.3-Flash for a while.
The logic behind it: use the more powerful model for deep thinking work, flip to cheaper model for redundant detail work. Which I sort of did for a few weeks, but then started forgetting and could barely tell the difference.
At some point the cheaper Flash models are good enough that I don't need to switch to something more "frontier".
Right now my project is around 320,000 lines of code (including test suite), much of which was written by the $0.14/$0.28 per million tokens model.
Thanks for your reply! But, ummm... I realized that maybe due to our different backgrounds, I might not have expressed my point clearly.
1."Whether it's a kind cat or an evil cat, as long as it catches a mouse, it's the best cat." I'm Gen Z, and like other Gen Zers, I'm generally not very interested in nationalist rhetoric.
But even putting Gen Z aside, any Chinese wouldn't see this as a nationalist comparison (cats and mice). Rather, it expresses the gov's attitude toward "cats" (big corporations(companies? I'm not sure how to choose this word)): as long as they generate enough profit, the government will consider them the "best cat."
2.Based on your country's context (Chinese gov this century has practiced liberalism TO THE EXTREME, that is preciously why I brought up Victoria era and Cyberpunk 2077. Its level of deregulation for the big corporations(companies?) far exceeds that of North America!), you might find it hard to understand why this saying is "notorious/famous" here. You might think freedom should be protected. But if you come to China and live here, you'd see it given
that big corporations has haved unrestricted freedom,
Then there are 1000 Zhipu stealing your privacy, 1000000 Zhipu Pro stealing and selling your privacy, and 1000000000 Zhipu Pro Plus "rob" your privacy!
I can illustrate this from another angle: Chinese generally prefer products from Western Eu/North Am because their markets have stricter regulation compared to ours.
Remember what I mentioned?
"99.99% of goods are CRAZILY CHEAP while falsely advertising without supervision. 99.99% of apps collect users' private info and then sell it. You can easily see this because almost no website even asks if you're okay with them collecting cookies."
And almost all of the negative comments about Zhipu never see on our internet. Because this Zhipu has the money to buy tons of bots. They can easily report posts almost like some DDOS (XD).
0.Finally, my logic is probably all over the place. In fact, I feel hurt. Because GLM is my favorite model (it has something clumsy human warmth. Maybe it seems strange to describe an AI that way, but... umm...maybe this would be beyond my words).
The hurt would not be get diluted just because "other Chinese companies all do the same thing."
Sigh.
So, as a Chinese, I don't feel like America is getting worse.
People only truly cherish order once you've lost it.
I hope American companies don't become like China.
Seems pretty obvious now that OpenAI is just hyping their models in order to get companies (in this case, chip developers) to use their products in order to learn from their (exfiltrated) IP. Any corporation would be foolish to use any of their or Microsoft’s products, particularly those with valuable IP. There’s nothing in the article that says AI did anything creative but rather that it was used for software development within the overall project. Clear misleading title. Suggest to mark this as clickbait.
I disagree, I think 'Bug' is a risk-shedding weasel-word. It's meant to shift blame away from the technology and its creator (multibillion dollar AI companies etc) in a way that doesn't hold those actors accountable or responsible for the outcomes.
In any other software it would be an error, regression, hallucination. And in a human process it would be at ~least something someone would call 'bullshit'.
We all know that junior candidates have been hit the hardest by the reduction in jobs in the software engineering field. We’re here to talk about what that means for how work is getting done today, for the futures of the people graduating with CS degrees or coding bootcamps, and for the future of the industry as a whole if it continues not investing in upcoming talent.
A little context on the inference and fine-tuning side of things at Antfly. Our model runtime is written in Zig, with no C++ bindings or dependencies. Over the last few months, we wrote our own CPU, Metal and CUDA kernels for the set of models that we support: Gemma4, Gliner2, Qwen3, Florence2, etc,
We’ve also created a JIT compiler for Metal/CUDA kernels, which should make it faster for us to add new kernel implementations in the future.
We're currently working on the infra to finetune (and deploy) Gliner2 and Gemma4 models directly in Antfly.
Happy to answer any questions about the inference runtime or fine-tuning work!
Finalllyyyy!! We need industry wide standards. I come from the 3d industry and oh god changing softwares and adapting to different hotkeys it's a pain. I have always thought every industry should be standardized for the sake of the users.
Yeah. It’s a tough balance to achieve but that’s the situation we’re in right now so Mozilla really ought to step up (and I totally wish they would).
My biggest pain point at the moment (entirely subjective mind you) is not even the AI nonsense, but how disjointed and alien the Firefox UX and general feel is to Apple platforms (what I use, at the moment). I don’t want Firefox to mirror Safari 1:1 but I do want the Firefox UI and UX to feel polished, well thought out and thoroughly in line with system HIG specs—given that I spend a lot of time in a browser, it shouldn’t feel like a stranger in a strange land amidst my other desktop applications.
Aggressive UI improvements would go a long way to restore some faith in the incandescent fox‘ mission—at least for me.
If only Graphene had a better marketing team. It pains me to say this but it is the absolute truth: the public does not know Graphene and does not care about Graphene. Even it’s name is absolutely awful. This is like the Linux distro hell: “you should use BingaBoingoKonohaOS_v34 or Peppermint_Cinn4monR0ll with the OutOfThisWorld DE, but steer clear of the Pancake package manager, use openMsPacMan with GrassFaceWhazzit frontend instead.” How is anyone (as in not us, the tech nerds) supposed to reason about this?
Things will keep as is for as long as they keep making these OSs FOR the tech nerds.
Downvote me all you want. You know it’s true. An OS made for nerds and by nerds will never reach mainstream and will not, ever, move the needle anywhere. Tech is no longer a hobbyist’s game.
