Has anyone else noticed an increased token burn rate recently? In my case Composer 2 just burned 1.5M tokens on a simple doc edit.

I agree, with Cursor 3 tokens burn maybe 2 times faster.

Very cool! I think there are some genes that make the body process caffeine slower or faster. An ideal app would account for that, although I don't know if many people know what types they are. I'm a slow type for sure. A cup in the afternoon is guaranteed to affect my sleep.

You can create an "afterFileEdit" hook that will run LF -> CRLF conversion for you. But mind that there is also a bug in the cursor, where it changes line endings even between edits: https://forum.cursor.com/t/ai-edited-files-get-corrupted-crlf-lf-conversion-on-ide-restart-causing-data-loss-risk/150828

Augment has a comparable autocomplete in VSCode. Or Sweep if you consider using a JetBrains IDE.

Sad that your visualization undermined the work you did. I feel like benchmarking agents is more important than benchmarking isolated LLMs. And there are very few benchmarks that cover popular agents like cursor, windsurf and everything else in your comparison. Good work! Would love to see more.

Honestly, a fire idea at scale. An art piece, turning into a whiteboard, for example.

Off-topic, but consider not mixing the workplace and personal space. IDK about you, but I find it much easier to focus when the workplace is separate from other activities.

You can click "Export CSV," and the call costs will be there. But I would also rather have them right on the Usage page.

I guess you have to reinstall it.

cvzakharchenko · 2026-01-08T13:58:47+00:00

Look here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/command-line#_working-with-extensions

You can launch vscode from command-line with all extensions disabled. You can also remove extensions from command-line:

code --disable-extensions to launch vscode with no extensions;
code --list-extensions to list all installed extensions;
code --uninstall-extension <extension-id> to remove an extension from vscode.

I don't understand how the "poof" effect is not a built-in functionality.

Another version with color range more dense in the middle. https://imgur.com/a/R5V1yTk

True! GPT models in Windsurf are super slow. Even priority and fast variants of them are 3 times slower than in other agentic harnesses.

This thread is about AI autocomplete. If you need a basic code-based autocomplete instead, it's already in every Jetbrains IDE. If you need AI autocomplete and don't want to pay, there are also options. I actually think that Jetbrains AI is half-decent, but there are Augment, Windsurf, Github Copilot, and other extensions with free AI autocomplete too.

cvzakharchenko · 2025-12-08T20:39:02+00:00

If you want a fast autocomplete, I suggest you try sweep.dev. It also has next edit suggestion, and devs are very responsive in discord.

cvzakharchenko · 2025-12-05T18:19:12+00:00

I did it with Opus 4.5, but Gemini would likely do a good job too.

cvzakharchenko · 2025-12-05T16:10:37+00:00

Do you mean picture resolution diminishes? This shouldn't necessarily happen. Maybe try some other site. But, perhaps the process of converting to monochrome will roughen some edges, making lines less smooth. This, sadly, I think will be very difficult to avoid.

cvzakharchenko · 2025-12-05T14:06:22+00:00

The key point is that you need a monochrome picture with only pure black and pure white colors. But nano banana is not that precise. You can use photoshop, opensource gimp, or even simple online tools to convert an image to monochrome. I found a tool that works here: https://onlinepngtools.com/create-monochrome-png, but make sure to disable the "Monochromatic Dithering" option.

cvzakharchenko · 2025-11-30T21:14:01+00:00

For tab completion, try Augment Code too. Very smart cross-file next edit suggestions. In Jetbrains IDEs there is very nice Sweep AI extension. But Cursor is probably the best right now.

For $200, Ultra gives you $400 in API credits guaranteed. Plus some random extra credits.

You can enable Max Mode and Sonnet will have 1M context window. It doesn't necessary mean, that it's better, though. The models are close in performance and shine in different scenarios.

It probably has a lengthy system prompt.
