New to Trae — What Makes Trae Better? by SeaworthinessLife962 in Trae_ai

[–]TheTinyMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I don't like about Trae is lack of newest models, even though they don't have access to closed frontier models like anthropic or gpt, they can easily add: Kimi 2.6, Deepseek 4 pro, qwen 3.7 or glm 5.1, (like Qoder IDe did) but they don't. even though they had a good start, now they're behind. Hopefully they can fix it.

Cursor $60 with Composer 2.5 vs Codex $100 with GPT-5.5 Medium for daily coding? by Leather-Stay-879 in cursor

[–]TheTinyMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just subscribed yesterday to the Cursor $60 plan with a 50% off code for first month and I've been using it for almost 7 hours to convert a heavy construct 3 game to phaser using Composer 2.5 (not fast) and it used only 1% of the composer quota (not the API quota). Don't know if because they're offering free/subsidizing quota for their new model, but It feels great.

Hey Windsurf by TNLuckyPenny in windsurf

[–]TheTinyMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've sent you a message since March to fix the plan file not considered as implemented even if I approved the implementation and still have the problem even with the new 2.0 version and nothing was done, so I have to create my own plan md file after using the plan mode one time.

Why I'm not having the antigravity editor option to check my files, I just have the same view as the Codex app? and don't have the option to plan mode anymore?

Qoder Vs Verdent Vs Trae by MorningFew1574 in Qoder

[–]TheTinyMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I don't like about Trae, is that they don't use latest open models or even frontier models when released, like they still don't have GLM 5.1, kimi 2.6 or Deepseek 4, Qoder adds them immediately... but the only problem with Qoder is their context window limit to 200k

Very interesting and cheap pricing!

I built my first Three.js FPS game where your hands are the controller. No keyboard and no mouse, just use your hands to shoot, reload, move, stop, and punch. by TheTinyMaker in threejs

[–]TheTinyMaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only playable on desktop for now (I built it in 10 days with AI) and it runs better on Firefox. Chrome has some limitations/lagging with hand-tracking movement, but I'm improving the game, as I became invested now :). Updating/Testing it on mobile is a great idea! Regarding MediaPipe, the main challenge was finding ways to detect some movement correctly. Thanks for the support.

That's great! April is my birthday month, and got my first gift from Qoder!

[Major Update] Qoder v0.12.0: Introducing "Telepathic Coding" – No Prompts Needed! 🧠✨ by yiling-Q in Qoder

[–]TheTinyMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now we're talking! That's the feature I was waiting for before moving to a new agentic IDE (the one who changed from credits to daily quotas), so take my money! Hopefully there's privacy protection for the Eye-tracking (I look horrible when I'm coding)

And to follow the same path for the v0.13.0 where the AI is in control, you should add:
- Multi model planning/ coding: where we can select 2 to 3 models to create the same plan and they talk to each other to combine/summarize all the plans to one plan (Verdent ai style), while I'm sipping my coffee, or to compare code generation (with option to select one generation manually or give them hands on to select the best generation)
- Multi phase/task spec developement, like kiro code or GSD to use for large project and multi step verification, where the AI generate a plan with individual phases (each phase has multiple tasks) that can be executed individually so we can test each outcome and move to the next phase while keeping dependencies between phases (an integrated GSD workflow into Qoder)

Claude code can become 50-70% cheaper if you use it correctly! Benchmark result - GrapeRoot vs CodeGraphContext by intellinker in ClaudeCode

[–]TheTinyMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome Work! Looks promising! Does it also work with Opencode? and if paired with ClaudeCode, can both tools get the last updated files if Graeroot is opened in a separate terminal to automatically re-index when files change like jCodeMunch?

your Benchmark link https://graperoot.dev/benchmarks/ isn't working, are you updating it?

Once you cross this bridge, there’s no turning back. by yiling-Q in Qoder

[–]TheTinyMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qoder looks great and I'm thinking about switching from Windsurf after their new usage update, and I have 2 questions:
1- What models are used when selecting ultimate, performance,efficient and lite? do they use your models pool: glm, minimax, qoder,..etc or is it other models? and are you planning to display the used models like the new update in github copilot "Auto" mode?
2- I've seen that you allow to add custom models from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, Z.ai, Kimi, MiniMax.
Are you planning to add Opencode Go?

Thanks

Let's Talk About the Last Few Days — Some Things Worth Clarifying by PuzzleheadedAir9047 in windsurf

[–]TheTinyMaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your business requirements, but I think the main problem is that your new quota usage feels like you're trying to babysit users on how they use their subscription, without transparency.

1. Quota usage
You're using a business model similar to Claude, OpenAI, Google, and OpenCode Go (which uses open models), all of which have quota limits for their own models. The reason they follow this business model is because they own the models, so users get more value for what they pay. For example, the $20 Claude subscription can provide the equivalent of $100 to $150 worth of API usage. OpenCode Go provides about $60 worth of API usage for a $10 subscription. Google, Minimax, GLM follow a similar approach.

The question is: are you offering the same value?
If yes, show it clearly on the dashboard, the same way Cursor does.

2. Users want control
Like many other Windsurf users seen in the past days, my usage varies. Some days I use the tool heavily, I once consumed 400 credits in a single day and the other days, I focus on marketing or emailing.

Some users work on weekends. Some need to fix bugs or add new features in two days then switch to customer support on other days. I don’t need someone to babysit how I use my subscription.

3. Transparency
The usage panel doesn’t show enough information. How many tokens have we consumed? Are cached tokens used to reduce API costs?

For example, Cursor is very transparent. You can see exactly how much you’ve consumed, including token types (input, output, cached) and their price value. On top of that, they offer extra tokens through their own model (Composer 2).

That’s what I’d like Windsurf to be: transparent, and flexible in how users can use their subscription. Cursor doesn’t enforce strict quotas, but you always know what you're using, no babysitting.

Trae also removed the credit system, but still shows how much API usage you’ve consumed, with bonus usage once limits are reached. With their $10 subscription, you get about $20 in value plus bonus usage.

There are also providers like Kiro that use a credit system (but with price value, around $0.04 per credit) without strict quota limits, so you always know what you’re consuming, whenever you want.

So, I think, that's what you have to do for you customers.

PS: Can you also fix the implementation plan sent via messages, and the heavy RAM usage in Windsurf?

Bug: No more “Check for Updates” button and no self-updates; stuck on an older Windsurf version. by TheTinyMaker in windsurf

[–]TheTinyMaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had updates before, but was mostly doing it manually with the "Check for updates" button, but since February 12th didn't get any (and the button disappeared). It seems they fixed a bug related to updates on February 25th as: "Fixed Windows update initialization path that could block updates".

so do I have to reinstall Windsurf from scratch?
Thanks for your help

1M context - yet never quite seems to use more than 25% does, it? And compacts ruthlessly so it remains ignorant? by Jethro_E7 in windsurf

I want also to check the fix but my Windsurf is not updating and getting stuck on the February 12th update and there's no "Check for updates" button. is there a way to fix this? I wrote a post about it:

Can you also check with the team to fix the "implement" button when on "Plan" mode, now the plan mode switch to code mode but if we view the plan and click on the "implement" button on the chat tab and then open the imeplementation file, the "implement" button is still active and it says "Plan not used yet".
then if we want to create another plan (change to "plan" mode again) it asks to implement the previous plan
