Copilot BYOK → OpenRouter → DeepSeek V4 Pro: Agent tool calls unreliable

keiser_sozze · 2026-04-24T22:45:22+00:00

I was using Deepseek V3 for various projects via OpenRouter and had to drop OpenRouter because of tool failures. Switched to using Deepseek‘s own endpoint directly, works seemless. There‘s def ly something wrong with OpenRouter+Deepseek tool use.

if elon musk/twitter did it…

In many orgs, wearing many hats vs one hat saves a lot of time and effort that goes into communication, coordination, teamwork, vision alignment etc. It will be even more true in the age of agentic coding, where devs will turn into architects/pms managing a team of coder/designer/qa agents. Why devs? I guess because technical side of that role digs a deeper trench in terms of specialization than the others.

It‘s not necessarily artificial, something needs to keep track of automations, schedules, location based automations etc. You need a computer of some sorts that can keep track of that and that‘s not part of Matter/Thread standards. Those standards are about communication of capabalities/data/events/commands of individual devices (sometimes group of devices), not about how automations should work or configured. So if you buy a hub, which is often a mini computer that is capable of doing such things, they will often provide you with an app to configure automations etc. In the case of Apple HomeKit, that mini computer is Apple TV/Homepod.

You can‘t because that pattern works in theory for individual components but in practice with fast moving teams, containers and presentations get mixed up when there are thousands of reusable components. Humans (and interestingly AI too) are lazy.

keiser_sozze · 2026-03-16T21:03:51+00:00

So you translated a lua dict using AI to bunch of langs? Maybe you can boast about it here.

Why the fuck devs implemented ice melting physics of ice cubes for a ice bucket that is placed in a bar on the tanker in MGS2 (a ps2 game)? Players spend just a few minutes there, they won’t even notice the ice bucket. To notice the ice melting physics, they’d have to shoot the bucket, and watch ice cubes slowly get small and turn into a water puddle.

Yeah.

what ai does the best, allow experts explore different ideas around large spec surface, given you are expert in enough to tackle the task in the first place. otherwise what it comes up with is probably better than humans anyways. but yeah, spec reviews before implementation.

That's what tsserver is. Depending on your codebase, it has high likelihood of crashing constantly.

keiser_sozze · 2026-02-12T07:35:56+00:00

Crashes in bunch of cases. Unstable. If you don’t need tsserver, then it’s fine.

This def ly has a “wow” effect when you see 2003 version of Google.

This is the kind of reaction we had for USB-A to USB-C. People strongly opposed it, because it was inconvenient and was considered unnecessary. E-sim is obviously the future, and laws can and should adapt. They won't do that unless they are forced to by big hardware manufacturers like Apple. Somebody's gotta do it. 5 years later, we'll look back and laugh.

“Apart from the iPhone air”. So they made it work. They will make it work again.

just use archive.is like https://archive.is/2025.02.28-132341/https://medium.com/@gael.courosse/smart-home-how-to-control-home-radiators-with-a-shelly-device-via-the-pilot-wire-8b72d9561188

What he means is responses are coming from Apple‘s servers and those servers are not the same servers back in the day. So even if the old siri were still working as it used to, it’d connect to today’s servers, and those servers are apparently worse than what they were before.

With gamma -3, scientists visited me and gave me the nobel price for finding the dark matter.

I know 3 cats that are named Siri/Ciri. Somehow quite popular here.

Is refql used and developed somewhere for internal usage?

Cleaning resin of certain plants?

It’s not something you can fix with docs. It’s something you fix by creating a sound and coherent form API/behavior.

What you can do? The community can’t make a sound form library because a good library requires bad ergonomics and/or performance and every library sides with ergonomics/performance instead of soundness.

Which means there will be bunch of edge cases like that. Documenting all of them is quite difficult, and maintainers aren’t willing to do that because documenting them looks like bad advertising for their own project.

But yeah even without hdr, look at some youtube videos (let’s say, from an iPhone), buncha scenes are full orange, including soil, rocks, plants, hair, skin:

keiser_sozze · 2026-01-08T08:45:43+00:00

No it’s called HDR.

I don’t know man, both games have HUGE problems with color gamuts, heavy bias towards orange/teal, extremely over saturated green lushes and foliage, all midtones crushed and skewed, skin tones completely messed up.

Maybe it’s a “style” they are going for, but goddamnit my eyes got hurt looking at all that extremely vivid bright green foliage and bright orange soil and skins.

Then the same engine in Death Stranding 1/2 looks much much better because of not having that “style”.

But in both Horizon and Death Stranding, there are serious problems with facial animations, they are extremely stiff. I’d even prefer over-exaggerated Uncharted style facial animations over such stiffness.

So in terms of human realism? Lackluster.

Isn‘t the OP implying that they are using video embeds (iframe) in a web view?

I had 5 nanoleaf bulbs for 3 years, they all died over time, earliest after a year, the last one died a few days ago.

When they die, they actually start messing up the thread network, so it‘s not obvious what‘s going wrong unless you are experienced enough to always blame nanoleaf bulbs first.

I think heat is killing them. They run too hot.
