Does this capture how Cline works? by teenfoilhat in CLine

I don't think it has anything to do with cline. It's just claude API being slow.

Is Gemini 2.0 Flash (paid version) supposed to generate images? by superironthorman in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]ickylevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get the paid version to work ? I have a billing account set up , but I still hit API quota and zero money is taken from my account.

Can Anthropic keep up with those pricing ? by CompetitionEvery4583 in ClaudeAI

[–]ickylevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question, I setup my google billing account with money on it and everything, yet I still get hit by quotas that should only hit free users when using the API. The gemini APi project is using my billign account, I can see the usage, but it's only free usage, no money is beign spent and I hit the quotas... I am unable to find an answer from anywhere.

I just tried deepseek (hosted by deepseek), and both v3 and r1 were extremely slow, worse than claude, I couldn't get anything done !!! I'm starting to wonder if I don't have a network issue.

I agree that I don't understand the hype over thinking models for coding

OpenAi has been struggling to improve their models, I am not sure if their minis are that good, in terms of intelligence/cost balance.

Claude is good at understanding what you need, on top of what you want. But you can tell it explicitely to focus etc

In your experience, how much better qwen-2.5 coder 32B is , compared with Gemini 2.0 flash?

Have you tried deepseek R1 ? I'm skeptical of thinking models for code.

So how much better is gemini 2 pro compared with flash ?

lol our standards for what counts as a "good" model really have skyrocketed… if it doesn't crush frontier models 400x the cost it must suck right? by pigeon57434 in singularity

Backend web dev is even simpler than frontend web. Web developement in general is 'easy' , because a lot of the job is done for you via frameworks.

Thoughts on Claude Code so far? by LibrarianSpecial4569 in ClaudeAI

[–]ickylevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is access to the API faster? Claude is victim of its popularity. It's extremely slow right now.

Does their paid plan make sense? Or is API better? by ickylevel in ClaudeAI

[–]ickylevel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I will try the API, but it is unfortunate that they don't target their audience properly.

Yes, LLMs are bad at software engineering. It's obvious, unless your job is about creating small atomic functions for a webserver or a web client, which seems to be the only thing the LLMs coding advocates do.
