  • I keep telling people that we are living in the golden age of AI - like the first year or two of google. It is all down hill as these companies push for profit and lock-in.

  • luckily I have purchased a used amd mi50 32gb card for pretty cheap back then. while I haven't used it extensively, it feels pretty great having a backup plan that does not depend on any external 3rd parties.

  • Yes. Grab those open-weight models while you still can.

  • How is this comment relevant and why is it the top post on this thread.

  • Rn im having a blast moving to linux, I had hardware that was not compatible bc it had windows specific softwarw

    -stream deck(the current software did not work as spected)

    -pcpanel (linux compat sucked)

    -avermedia lgd(no drivers for linux)

    On 3 weeks I had them ported(all gpl on github) and they work really well.

    If you know what are you doing, agents can be really focused and deliver well

  • You can run pretty good LLMs locally. Currently the hardware is expensive but it will be cheaper eventually.

  • Google was pretty amazing for about 15 years, not 1 to 2. Google rocked from its launch (1999ish) until around the time it shut down Google Reader (2013ish).

  • I haven't used Kimi K3 or GLM 5.3, but boy am I glad they exist! Every time an open weights model is released a bit closer to the frontier models, that's another level of performance that we, the users, can't lose access to no matter if the frontier labs jack up prices out of our reach, or the US administration decides to put a full export block in place on AI.

  • Exactly why everyone needs to be hyper-focused on ensuring that the open-source ecosystem is healthy and that we don't let them shut that down.

  • I smell a money-making opportunity.

  • Haha there is a lot at stake for sure

  • Azure database??? In house bot protection??? In house search???

    Some of these are absolutely wild. Surprised Strands didn't even get mentioned for agent frameworks.

    by nijave
  • Azure database was mostly for enterprise use-cases. Rebuilding a lot of things in-house is a real trend, especially for Claude Code when you don't ask it explicitly to consider all solutions and avoid overhead of managing things yourself. Codex and Cursor seem to have this in mind more naturally (at least using GPT-5.6 Sol / Grok 4.6)

  • I've been tracking the same for a few months. All open source and available here: https://preseason.ai/

  • nice!

  • I only get web search from Claude Code when I ask, only one of my last 8 sessions accessed the web at all. But they were the case of Opus here. Curious what Fable 5.1 model does instead of Opus.

  • Really liked that "Go Full Screen" as a modal flow, surprisingly intuitive.
    by akurilin
  • Thanks, was considering killing it after getting the opposite feedback earlier, now I may keep both options!

  • In the future: "I went ahead and built the database you requested using today's tool sponsor: Firebase"
    by ex-aws-dude
  • Yeah sounds kind of like the equivalent of SEA for AI agents (AEA?) except that it’s sneakier since agents can act without you noticing.. anyway this is in the hands of the labs
    by screm
  • The framework recommendations are always funny, but the worst is database layout. I made the mistake of assuming it has some reasonable sense.
    by BikiniPrince
  • Ugh...this is totally going to happen.
    by pupppet
  • I appreciate the eval design here. And man Claude not doing web searches is killing me bc it just won't offer the most up to date information. At the same time, there's research saying Claude relies heavily on Brave search so I'm not sure how to reconcile
    by tuberreact
  • If you want your Claude Code to search you can always tweak your own with a good skill, this should work perfectly! It's more a problem for vendors who can't tell all people in the world to download a specific skill first.

  • I remember when the SEO nightmare started, it looked like an innocent intelectual investigation exercise like this.
    by elzbardico
  • We don't need to reproduce the same errors! Anyway I do think it is going to be different this time because generating content is becoming so easy today that the entire web would just become 99.99% slop very quickly if things don't change. That being said the solution isn't that trivial, curious if you have thoughts on it?

  • Hey!

    Disclaimer: I am a Co-Founder of Armature (YC P26) which sells growth services to dev tools. This study is part of our broader work on how to influence coding agents choices and get products picked.

    To understand how agents pick tools we measured close to 17k sessions on an environment where agents run exactly like in the real world, on various repositories, talking to different personas (vibe-coder, junior or senior engineers) in different sizes of companies.

    All the results are now public and we'd love to know what findings surprise you the most, here are a few we found interesting: - Claude Code rarely searches the web while Codex almost always does it and Cursor sits in the middle. - Coding agents disagree more frequently than they agree. - Some players (LangChain, Supabase, Netlify, Paypal, Adyen) are almost always mentioned in their categories but never chosen. - Modifying repository context can change the pick entirely.

    If you feel like digging, all the traces are there and we probably missed interesting learnings so let us know what you find!

  • Is there a way to force the usage of a tool for certain tasks? Example: alawys use cli "foobar" to retrieve weather starus.

    By tool I mean mcp server, cli, etc.

    by vivifkjo
  • > Claude Code rarely searches the web while Codex almost always does

    I’m trying to understand why they are opposite. I think it is true, I find myself giving a secondary prompt to Claude to “research this” and only then will it fetch. Codex is bang on fetching already.

  • Hi. I appreciate that you need to make rent, but if your business is basically "we do growth hacking and SEO tricks on models and get them to use products that aren't actually best for the job", you are scum.

    You are perpetuating shitty practices that have hurt developers for years now. Part of the reason people use AI is because of how useless search is due to the previous generation doing the same kind of thing you propose.

    Please do something else with your life.
