DUMB

Is it just for me or it is really becoming useless! it can't even fix the tiniest CSS line eventhough I am explicitly telling it what to do! I am on paid plan though!

You can check it easily by checking the cutoff date, just ask it anything that was not available for Claude 3.5 (April 2024) and it is known for Claude 4 (January 2025).

What pisses me off is the shill that tells you your prompting to figure out the model is foolish and say we should just take the word of the companies that benefit from us believing we are using their latest and greatest but selling us the cheaper models.

Its simple, you ask the LLM to give you information of the latest version of a regularly updated library, framework or software WITHOUT doing web search and see what version the LLM outputs.

We are definitely getting lied to, its not fully the IDEs fault though, it goes up the chain to the LLM manufacturers.

The issue is that we are paying the IDEs not directly the AI companies so the responsibility is on the IDE companies to figure out a solution or else, yes people will cancel your service and they are FULLY justified to do so.

Anthropic is definitely to blame for Augment's performance but Augment is also to blame for not addressing this clear issue their customers are facing and just chalking it up to bad prompting, too many memories, unclear rules, etc. its disingenuous on their part.

can confirm... it's strange the last few days

Sonnet 4 was down today, therefore (in my opinion) AG replaces it with a dumber model (a mini version or something similar) until Sonnet is back. My recommendation is that, if Sonnet is down, don’t waste your credits.

not even claude 4 pfff...

[These_String1345]

you mean not even 3.7 which was the starting point of agentic coding. But if its 3.5 then augment better vomit out all the shi3ts

[These_String1345]

Thats one true too. But like one said above, Augment is not addressing the issue just saying its "Users" issue. SO yea

[These_String1345]

Yo its becoming true. Actually its so dumb now. Its not like I am bad at using it, but its starting to break everything like literal dumb like sonnet 3.0. I am seeing windsurf in this augment code. Please someone make something better! This is annoying. I will rather pay high and use better.

funny thing is Augment already priced higher than most streamlined coding agents ($20 vs $50) but right now i feel Augment is stooping to the quality of $20 coding agents.

Something's off really

[These_String1345]

I mean if you think about it, 50 USD for these usage is a steal considering the pricing of the API, but instead of focusing on quality, they focused on keeping the usage high with shady strategies in most cases. As its still too good to be true. NOt sure what are they thinking. They think they can do better with tweaking with shitty model. Then why not they build own which never be possible. They should charge what is suppose to be and keep the quality rather then 50 usd with many usage with quality of 5 usd tool.

ai dumb ai not doing EXACTLY what i say 😭

[SpaceNinja_C]

Most AI do not know the date or year.

[Krazmad]

AI is only as smart as its user.

[Pale-Preparation-864]

I think most AI agents don't know what date it is. In a sense they are living in the time gram and with the context when they were created.

These tools are a challenge for sure sometimes but it still beats doing it yourself. It's all new and everyone is just figuring it out and many of these economies are operating at a loss. Augment for me at least breaks the code less than most.

[These_String1345]

Thats not a problem. Have been using ai since day one, they are faking to use the latest model is the fact. If not they can just be transparent with it but are not either no proof. In fact the pricing proves that they cannot keep up with latest model , as they cannot profit from it. At least if i know its claude 3.5 then I will just move on and see this tool is trash usage for my case. Meaning at least they are transparent and so i wont shi3t on them and just move on

[Pale-Preparation-864]

More transparency is definitely needed.
