It is the point. Also open source model enthusiast tell you otherwise, there is a coding quality gap between these models. If I use DeepSeek, I do so knowing that I have to limit to simpler tasks on smaller, well specified prompts. What the

Man I used to develop SAAS software using Cappuccino. Since I knew Objc (and JS/CSS) really well it was such a beautiful system for development. I'm sad it never went anywhere

I've just used it for a fairly complex refactoring of the UI in a SwiftUI / AppKit app. It managed the refactoring in blazing colors, and the resulting UI looked really good. It was also quite fast. I'm impressed.

I tried to install this the other day with Altstore and gave up after 30min. I learned there are two altstores, and the one I could install didn't support the "source" listed on that repository. Then I looked into the other o

I created something similar, fully open source, using the ideas behind scrolling window managers. There's currently no website as I'm actively using it to work on a different project. It has features such as a shortcut (command+.)

Fuck ack. I'm working on a new benchmark that combines strong visual requirements with tool and coding requirements. I haven't even tested Sol yet, but between Sonnet, Terra & Luna I already see much better results from OpenAI

Which setup did you use? MLX/GGUF, Quant, Engine (e.g. llama.cpp or MTPLX, etc)? There’s so much variety these days.

You can run DeepSeek Flash just fine on 128GB using lower quants. Antirez' DwarfStar supports it really well. The bigger the model, it seems, the less it is affected by high quantization. I know some people are working on quantizing GL

Thank you for NeoVim! I also use it every day, mostly for thinking / text / markdown though these days. Have you compared against MLX? Sometimes I’m getting much faster responses but it feels like the quality is worse (eg tool cal

Did you try an MLX version of this model? In theory it should run a bit faster. I'm hesitant to download multiple versions though.
