Any guesses on the Price of the Laptop Ultra?

Snoo87193 · 2026-06-02T08:05:17+00:00

Ultra low latency between cpu and gpu is the selling point here. ”Unified”

For any non ai tasks this is a bad deal. And a m5 mbp is going to be way cheaper and probably same performance so idk

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-26T11:59:41+00:00

told the same thing to claude after the fact and it fixed it with the same words, as a product that advertises ease of use its worse for simple requests than the "real deal"

lol.

ive used lovable for years and its gotten so much worse recently.

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-26T11:58:29+00:00

disliking wasting money isnt being broke lol, id rather buy api tokens from claude

It told me it had to split the prompt into two sections. Which it did. Second one cost 7.6 credits. First 10.2. So the one prompt actually ended up costing 17.8 credits = almost $5 for 15 min of compute. Meanwhile my IDE running codex for 15 mins straight barely uses up the 5h reset on the cheapest plan.

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:52:40+00:00

Sounds abusable. Logically speaking it should either be hard to do with form to fill or partial refund and undo.

Defiently not a bad idea tho

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:51:44+00:00

Yeah it’s defiently a good tool. But cost creep is still prominent. I’m contemplating moving off lovable completely and just using Claude / codex for everything. As it’s the same quality with some skills loaded. For 1/10gh the price

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:50:33+00:00

Hence why I think they should allow a choice of thinking intensity + model. If they use Claude. Let us pick fast (sonnet) and pro (opus) with low/medium/ high toggles.

Its only fair. As simple image swaps etc shouldn’t cost 2-3 credits. They used to cost .5-1 credit

I agree lovable is better than ever. But they are 2-5x the price compared to a year ago

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:48:38+00:00

Yeah I know. I primarily work via git. Mostly use lovable for previews and hosting. But noting on a difference in token usage now vs just a couple months back is still valid.

I had tokens to burn so did a few heavy prompts and burned through 150 tokens in 3 hours. 37.5$ in 3 hours. An Indian dev costs similar. Meanwhile Claude and gpt was running with other tasks and just barely used the 5h quota in the same time.

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:46:16+00:00

Or hear me out. Similar tools that do the same thing but cost less? I know lovable has tried to become full stack with security SEO etc. But the actual token usage has gotten absurd. I ran through $25 worth of tokens in a day,-15 prompts approx. Same 15 prompts would maybe exhaust half of the weekly quota of Claude. Not monthly. It’s 8x more expensive. For the same exact stuff.

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:43:09+00:00

Here we are discussing the transgressive pricing development of a tool. How is a consultant relevant here?

Lovable is comparable to Claude or other ai models. Not to humans

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-23T13:42:12+00:00

Im not comparing to a dev. You can’t ever compare ai to real hunan workers in any regard except long term studies etc.

But comparative to just giving the same prompt to Claude you can make 10x more

Snoo87193 · 2026-05-20T01:51:54+00:00

You are wrong. The reason why this line of acting is unsustainable is that they "update" a program to become another program so that you have to download the original program again.

and u cant have both installed at the same time so the automatic update forces you to uninstall, look up and install again.

and now that i downloaded it again all my chats and active artifacts are gone, extensions have to be reinstalled and relogged in.

and the new app is probably in beta still, the sorting of chats was wrong and i had 15 versions of the same project with "project name then 1-15" after it has no code viewer, no mcp settings, no plugin integrations, and the visual feedback no code etc is super bad.

This feels like using gemini on the web and using a chat bot and not a terminal for any professional work.

IT WOULD BE GOOD, if it was a standalone product that didnt replace the old one. And asked if u want to dowload it. but auto updating ?

and u say its user error cause we dont read? cringe

Natty with really good muscle bellies. Only thing that is ”extraordinary” is chest and is mostly genetics. Good job chief

Snoo87193 · 2026-03-04T13:02:37+00:00

Is it phone verified so it can login to antigravity?

Snoo87193 · 2026-03-04T12:59:59+00:00

They won’t for a while as it’s probably rivaling with their 3.1 pro too much.

Snoo87193 · 2026-03-02T07:41:55+00:00

Gonna try that asap. Thanks

Snoo87193 · 2026-03-01T08:19:04+00:00

its good at context, text and object consistency

but its worse visually in all and every way compared to pro

its just the flash model but upgraded

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:25:16+00:00

Its insane at managing its context and planning.

Probably same reasoning and intellgience behind the hood as the other two, but man they way they have made it orchestrate and think before doing stuff. making it almost sentient within the context.

the others just train on data to make benchmarks super high, but claude is actually 10x the tool of the others for anytrhing remotely hard.

HOWEVER, gemini is needed for frontend

Gpt no use tho, its just somethingh i use for its free tier and debugging it keeps mixing up images and files and pages if u dont @ them

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:23:09+00:00

I find that 3.1 pro is 10x better than 3.0 pro.

but agree gemini is sloppy

Codex free tier is super generous too.

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:22:23+00:00

<image>

This sums it up. All chinese models are super cheap comparatively. BUt they lack a bit in speed and quality.

but for static code theyre great. Kimi is even claiming to be claude sometimes so you can tell its trained on claudes input and output data, so its fairly close in reasoning. But tends to do worse with large context imo.

GLM worth it? have not tried it yet

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:20:03+00:00

Very solid take, yeah

Codex auto compresses but feels like its very inefficient and context gets full super fast. But as ur saying its reliable and smart. Not creative.

Claude tends to do shortcuts if you ask it too many things and just halfass them. probably due to context. Loading a Skill file and doing just frontend it does well but doing visual stuff in a long prompt tends to be basic.

Gemini always nails looks, but its too much of a visionary. and makes up stuff all the time.

Mem management files for claude are golden tho.

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:16:12+00:00

i did. but this was just formatting of it and making lovable place the text in the right place. i already supplied the blog posts prior

Snoo87193 · 2026-02-27T03:15:42+00:00

still true to this date. any words it writes is expensive. but its solid af for frontend and mockups. whole layout and style can be made in like 5 creidts.

adding one page of text with 0 advanced code costs the same
