No, it needs a lot more babysitting than 4.5 does. 3.5 was on the same level of mistakes, at least on the quants I have to use.

Running qwen3.6 27b through llama.cpp.

It's about as capable as sonnet 3.5.

I use it for light scripting, but real coding is done by cloud models.

I'm also using it as the brain for my Hermes agent. It sends me digests of news, subreddits, chats that I'd like to read but don't have time for. It does a great job researching things on the web for me, too.

I don't miss windows, but I do miss sitting in the same era computer labs with either the university's own flavor of red hat, or SPARCstations.

The internet was a lot more fun 30 years ago. I guess partly because it felt like magic, and after a degree and some decades in the industry the illusion is gone.

Also, it used to be about sharing pictures of your cat or listing your favourite books. Now everyone is trying to either sell you something or source everything about you to be able to sell you something with more accuracy.

I'm surprised to see comments of people actually using it. I know it's been topping distrowatch forever by inflation numbers.

You can use it all day and stay well below the quota. Small context, with the right model for the job. Surgical precision.

But.. At some point you shut off your brain, use the most expensive model on the highest reasoning level with your whole codebase as context and just wait for tens of minutes while it burns all the tokens. To speed this up you then send six agents to tackle the same problem from all angles.

As I recall it's pretty hi-tech, too.

Hardware permitting it'll emulate every path your friend might take, and correct itself to the correct timeline when it gets friend's input. Lag-free for everyone.

Gee, I can't imagine why they chose to drop this bomb today.

It's like they wanted it to be drowned in other news.

The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.

That's just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!

It's like having a lightning-fast junior developer at your disposal. If you're vague, he'll go on shitty side-quests. If you overspecify he'll get overwhelmed. You need to break down tasks into manageable chunks. You'll need to ask follow-up questions about every corner case.

A real junior developer will have improved a lot in a year. Your AI agent won't have improved.

I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.

Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.

Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.

can’t even imagine what type of job I’d love

Fun fact! Most of us don't love our jobs. We just do them to have a roof over our heads and food on our tables.

I think he should get access to it.

I think everyone should get access to it.

That's how we do it in Scandinavia. It's been good for fighting corruption.

If your neighbour has a brand new Lamborghini in his driveway, while filling an income of 20k€ the last year. Maybe ask the IRS to look a bit closer at his finances.

I use it to see how much my colleagues make, so I have a leg to stand on in salary negotiations.

Don't forget that a door mat that says "welcome" counts as consent.

Even I can sell $350B worth of energy if I increase the price enough.

detectives believed he had a "great hatred of women, specially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies".

No shit, Sherlock.

My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.

Books don't get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.

Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.

This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s

Don't forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

I got drunk and bought a t-shirt on eBay.

It featured a rainbow unicorn with the text "HAIL SATAN".

I've tried some of scopely's games. They're following this playbook to the letter.

You'll be getting freebies when your friends spend cash. You'll get time limited offers. You'll be paying to "try again", against other players.

Who wins when a wall street broker and an oil sheikh use their wallets to fight over a Pokémon gym? Scopely wins.
