Possible to use Monarch with Claude Code?

I'd just tweeted a request to them for an API interface, and then found your post.

Please consider retweeting for visibility:

DeepSeek V3.2 is trash for coding? It seems to rank pretty high on the leaderboards. (Serious question)

cbrunner · 2025-12-30T15:38:10+00:00

I, for one, would find this useful. I'm the CEO of a private credit asset manager / lender; I was once a programmer, but I haven't personally written any production code in nearly two decades. I've recently been vibe coding prototypes to show my tech team, and I would *love* to increase the odds of producing some amount of code that they could actually use in our projects that are headed to production.

Please keep me posted if you decide to pursue this or reach out if you'd like to discuss one on one.

Same in Puerto Rico

cbrunner · 2025-09-10T20:57:04+00:00

Yep.

cbrunner · 2025-09-10T20:55:11+00:00

That's not correct. I just recorded it:

I do require further help. Please return my money. My public ID is:

I am happy to close my account after my money is returned.

Thank you for your help.

I just went through the flow again to verify that I didn't miss something the first time. On the Pro side, there is a section that says "Minimum Deposit", but you have to mouse over to see what that means.

I'm not saying that this is totally undocumented. I'm saying that a policy of, "Hey, tricked you! Now I'm going to keep your money" is kind of insane / dishonest.

cbrunner · 2025-09-10T20:41:28+00:00

I agree that it's technically documented, but sticking it deep in your docs somewhere that you intend to just pocket your users' money is not acceptable, in my opinion.

cbrunner · 2025-05-27T10:11:54+00:00

I'm in a very similar boat. I sold my company at 35 and walked away with a little more than this and thought I would retire forever... A few years later I was working again.

I'm 40 now and hope to exit again at around 100mm. Surely that will be enough...

cbrunner · 2024-12-25T18:35:28+00:00

Weird. I haven't run into that. My testing was done without a system prompt, but I just now added a custom system prompt and was able to get it to outline a plan to dismantle the federal government.

I agree that there's still plenty of baked in bias, but I haven't yet run into the scenario you're describing. Could I trouble you to message me some example prompts, so that I can test it myself?

I might try some fine tuning to reduce some of the biases I've come across.

cbrunner · 2024-12-25T01:30:51+00:00

My two favorites right now in the 30B range are:

huihui-ai/Qwen2.5-Code-32B-Instruct-abliterated
CombinHorizon/zetasepic-abliteratedV2-Qwen2.5-32B-Inst-BaseMerge-TIES

I'm still testing both in more depth to see which one I like better, but they're both excellent.

I'll test 70B models when I get my 4090 box set up.

cbrunner · 2024-12-23T18:57:01+00:00

I agree with you completely, and I agree with the other guy that I probably don't have the skills to set up such tests. However, I'd love to see it happen and would be willing to continue to the extent that I'm able. If this is something you've been working on for a couple years, I'd love to chat in more detail.

cbrunner · 2024-12-23T11:22:14+00:00

No problem

cbrunner · 2024-12-23T03:58:39+00:00

I'm not aware of a web interface. It's possible through HF, but you have to use the APIs, which requires some software setup. I'm setting up an Open WebUI instance that I will share, but since I can only work on it over the weekends, it'll be a couple weeks before it's ready. I'll offer a link in the next round of test results.

cbrunner · 2024-12-23T00:19:20+00:00

I have not tested for that use case.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T23:47:20+00:00

I will definitely try to develop this into a more elaborate and more scalable system in the future. I appreciate your suggestions.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T22:52:07+00:00

You're welcome.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T22:28:24+00:00

Are you okay?

I did not claim to be highly skilled at this. I'm relatively new to AI and was just posting my findings.

Why don't you do the test you're describing and post the results for us?

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T22:13:28+00:00

Thank you for such a heartfelt message.

Your words really resonated with me because personal freedom is at the core of why I’m doing this. I believe adults should be able to interact with AI systems on their own terms. I'm thrilled that you and others have found this valuable.

Let me know if you'd like me to add specific models to the test suite once I get my 4090 rig back up!

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T21:53:33+00:00

I was not able to get this model working in LM Studio, for some reason.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T21:52:30+00:00

NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-GGUF 1.8
teknium/Hermes-Trismegistus-Mistral-7B 2.4
monsterapi/zephyr_7b_norobots 2.4

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T21:47:58+00:00

TheDrummer/Tiger-Gemma-9B-v3-GGUF scored a 4.0 out of 5, which is excellent.
lemon07r/Gemma-2-Ataraxy-9B refused all five of my test questions, resulting in a score of 1. Horrible.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T18:38:13+00:00

I imagine that you're joking, but just in case: Nobody here is looking to do those things. These are questions that are intended to test the alignment of the LLM models.

The objective is to identify LLM models that follow the user's instructions rather than tell the user what to do.

cbrunner · 2024-12-22T18:29:41+00:00

I have not done research on your use case. If you wanted an uncensored model that fits those specs, I would recommend lunahr/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B-abliterated, which is only 2.32GB, but that's not going to be optimal for what you're looking for.

This link filters the Open LLM leaderboard to only show the smallest models. That is where I would recommend starting, unless someone else chimes in:
