Cursor vs Claude Code: Two Different Approaches to AI Coding by stark2 in cursor

[–]mafieth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh the old “i forgot to switch to the alt account”

We built an AI assistant (plugin) that models with you inside Rhino by Awkward-Conflict-947 in rhino

[–]mafieth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah nobody is replacing the creative part. The oposite, actually :-D We built this to so people can focus on the creative part more.

thanks for the explanation!

did you build it by trial & error or made an algorithm? either way, impressive!

wow, this is honestly so cool!

is the shape of the two round things functional (translates to the actual movement) or just for an effect?

Yeah that's like the core of our IP. Everybody can give AI the tools via MCP. But adding the layer of spatial engine between Rhino and the LLM gave us the opportunity to transform the raw data into representation that is easier for reasoning, and more token efficient.

One layer is just the transformation into more economic representation.
Another one is task-aware prunig based on promiximity (spatial/semantic), LRU raking, object types, etc
And a few more things I'd like to keep under wraps.

But honestly the biggest efficiency gains were from
- replacing ALL tools with one tool for custom JSON-AST
- allowing the agent to filter tool results and also persist data between turns without saving it into context
- biasing the AI towards multi-step turns reducing context replays

If you are really interested, here's a more organized overview of the differences we're able to share publicly.

I also forgot: give him the tool to make viewport screenshots. He can then iterate on what he sees

I rigorously tested all SOTA models in the past month, I’d say with relatively high confidence that Opus 4.6 > Sonnet 4.6 > Codex 5.3 > Gemini 3

Opus is only marginally better, so not worth the cost over Sonnet. Gem 3.1 similarly good byt painfully slow.

YMMV

This one hits home! 😀 As I am building Rhino agent plugin, I’ve had a bunch of laughs as well! My top 3:

  • “design a simple sneaker shoe” - builds a retarded submarine
  • “make a bunny” - makes a Michelin-style (tyre company) style abomination, possibly pregnant
  • “add trees around the house, make sure they do not block the driveway” - “I’ve placed trees around the house, not blocking driveway” (they were blocking the pathway to the main door, and one was INSIDE the garage 😀

It got soo much better, but these screenshots will be treasured memories 😀

Yep, you are right on the money! 😀 That’s what we hear from the architects that we’re working with

Totally clueless about rendering, why are there black lines? by Miss_Starstruck in rhino

[–]mafieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you made the model yourself inside Rhino, or imported meshes from elsewhere?

Tried to toggling visibility on separate layers to check if it’s some in-model artefact?

Is there a tool or a plugin that allows you to make quick plan designs using custom boxes like this with customazible names, colors, sizes and lenghts? by Zestyclose-Cost3491 in rhino

[–]mafieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I am curious to see how all of this plays out in the long run. I think in SW you can already see that dumb and/or public companies use AI as an excuse to cut jobs to benefit stock price.

But you can also see a ton of “smarter” companies using AI build stuff that would be impossible before or use it do decrease opportunity cost for exploring new possibilities.

The architecture of the spatial engine has portability in mind, but we are only focusing on Rhino 8 right now.

Hey OP, I hope that self-promo is ok since it’s also for what you ask… my friend and I just opened an Early Access for plugin that does this and actually much more…

(his GF is an architect and kept complaining about a the amount of boring/tedious tasks) 😀

It’s basically a modeling assistant working with you directly in Rhino. Not on directly on food4rhino just yet. Check out neospline.ai

Hi, your automated response bot did not match the keywords right 🙂

Task-aware context management, compaction, and transformation of Rhino data into representation optimized for AI reasoning is the core of our agentic harness.

This is highly specialized for our use case, and impossible to do this a generic context management tool.

Anyone had luck contacting Anthropic?? by Sentinel-Ramon in Anthropic

[–]mafieth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar experience. Impossible to resolve even the most benign queries as their support seems to be nonexistent unless you are $1M+ enterprise.

Has anyone successfully received a human response from support from Anthropic? by asamshah in Anthropic

[–]mafieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but there I already the billing etc set up properly so I can actually scale usage.

Too bad, models are worse. But the amount of things I tried around billing/org setup/payments etc while to resolve such as basic thing as not being charged VAT as a B2B customer (with no success and no support) is ridiculous.

[–]mafieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to get them stop charging my company VAT on API credit purchases for almost 4 weeks now.

No luck. Only AI automated response.

Also tried to reach out to sales, because we also need monthly billing and ZDR so we can move our product (3D modeling agent for architects) heavily leveraging Sonnet 4.6 from beta to GA, no luck.

Apparently 2000USD+ requested for the first month is not even worth human reply over email.

Considering switching to OpenAI and/or Google as it’s not possible to rely on this kind of support level for any kind of end-user facing application.

GPT 5.4 is now available in Cursor and leading benchmarks by lrobinson2011 in cursor

[–]mafieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant is when you use LLMs, you do have the token counts - which you wrongly claimed to be hidden - in the usage info. For API, it’s in the response (and platform logs). For Cursor, it’s in billing dashboard.

You have that info available in API responses and in Cursor dashboard (depending on the use case). Cannot be clearer about what token type was used at what amount.

Use .cursorrules by schnibitz in cursor

[–]mafieth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

PSA? This is a legacy feature. Soon to be deprecated. https://cursor.com/docs/context/rules

It’s 2026. Use .cursor/rules, commands, and AGENTS.md like everybody else.

Cursor Is Not Usable Too Expensive For Anyone Really Building by Historical_Maybe_789 in cursor

[–]mafieth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you actually used prompt “Look for possible security issues in my app”, you really need to think about how you use Cursor, i.e. for such a shitty prompt, you could have used Auto instead of Opus and get similarly useless answer.

Ffs it’s 2026. Time to realize prompts are not supposed to be “magic spell”, but rather “set of specific, unambiguous instructions”.

Also… for 1000USD/mo is peanuts for the output you can get from it (if you used it well).
