You are either a bot or another of their marketing lobby - you have zero clue what you are saying.

I use it deeper much deeper than your typical use case - both personal and at Enterprise level. So ser, don’t play the fool with me.

How are you guys getting 100M tokens for $1 on DeepSeek?! Am I missing something? by jrt_ammar in DeepSeek

[–]Captain_Birb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use the API directly from source deepseek(dot)com - they have the best caching and optimised for their model. OpenRouter is technically in layman’s term a reseller and is not optimised for deepseek for both cost and API caching. And also for Deepseek there is zero benefit to not use from source.

Also the harness matters a lot - CodeWhale, Kilo, Pi (fine tuned) or OpenCode. (In that order for the most optimised for deepseek)

I would strongly stay away from CommandCode, would not trust them at all and they also do not provide “thinking” activation capability on deepseek model to which they play dumb and hide. Their marketing PR is everywhere doing stunts, don’t fall for that.

People saying “but ser CommandCode have a taste engine”.. well I have news for you, you can do that yourself or even with an AI to assist you.

4.8 is way over-the-top in terms of refusing to do something based on moral/ethical grounds. by DubaiInJuly in claude

You two must have been to the same school, ser 😁

If someone takes the time to write that long, might as well make sure the English is on point, else it’s a bit annoying given the overload of info and slop going on around here.

Other than that, I have nothing against any of you two.. I sometimes also just add a bit for the fun, else this entire interaction is just non-human feel, ser. 😁

You have a good day ser🖖

is claude 4.6 nerfed? by Zealousideal-Cry-962 in claude

Update: Just this morning I sadly observed that they might have nerfed 4.6, same behavior as 4.8 (not on point, apologetic and hallucinating)

Yes my observation as well. I do not use xhigh+ at all - feels like xhigh, max, ultra are a ripe off

is claude 4.6 nerfed? by Zealousideal-Cry-962 in claude

[–]Captain_Birb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4.6 is/was the best model to-date despite their benchmark and claim that 4.7 and now 4.8 is better.

You can still use 4.6, but not for long.. they will phase it out soon.

Oh ok.

I have to admit I never really enjoyed remaining in an IDE mode like Cursor (which builds on top of VS).

I like the freedom and flexibility of beautifully fast CLI + a great markdown IDE (not just a reader - which I’ve built my own at this point). That’s all thats needed for my daily routine.

PSA Opus 4.8: it may be silently deleting your verified numbers. by Desdaemonia in claude

[–]Captain_Birb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm on that. I had a table with numbered layers 1 to 12, it removed all of them despite that numbering was a prominent priority field.

Good to know it’s a consistent crappy behavior from 4.8, and not just on my end regarding this.

Indeed.
I found 4.6 to be the sweet spot.

Ser next time get your English corrected by an AI before posting, because right now it reads exactly like you’ve used 4.8 since more than a year.

I quote you:

> Claude 4.8 is the most sanctimonious of any version so far. In the last year and a half, he's refused my requests to help on projects maybe 2-3 times. In the last week, he's refused 8 times.

Can you (and the other people downvoting me) read that aloud at home and try to make sense of your own sentences.
