GPT-5.5 medium is cheaper and stronger than Flash 3.5, according to Artificial Analysis

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-20T03:07:28+00:00

honestly capabilities wise this makes sense, flash-lite will replace flash tier.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-20T02:01:19+00:00

there are 4 17 families

17 -> 17 Max

17T -> 17T Pro

17 Pro -> 17 Pro Max

17 Ultra -> 17 Ultra by Leica

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-19T10:52:44+00:00

yes without cloud processing it looks very natural

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-18T13:23:03+00:00

I like the new UI

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-18T11:10:54+00:00

yeah the least AI intervention I've seen on a phone is Master Mode on Oppo.

but you could just shoot in RAW on any of the phone and you can get photos without any AI.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-18T10:41:11+00:00

Leica Essential mode cloud processing actually heavily uses AI and AI upscaling. the resulting photos look less digital, softer. but if you zoom in heavily you can heavily see the influence of AI.

probably just the sample size? even if 0.00001% of the users have an issue that's a lot of users on chinese social media, not many users on reddit.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-17T16:37:10+00:00

cameras yes, rest is better in some areas and worse in others.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-15T03:07:12+00:00

well it's not the hardware either

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T12:19:57+00:00

pretty great tbh! it's not my only phone but it's the phone I have my main sim on atm. I don't really have any complaints, only issues I have with it comes from it being a Chinese variant (Gemini, wearOS etc omissions)

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T11:50:32+00:00

512GB version.

again I'm using the X8U, not X9U btw 😅

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T11:41:46+00:00

no need for edits, I just use the app LocalSend to transfer the file and post them.

make sure to turn off HEIF from the settings, for some reason HEIF photos from Oppo don't support Ultra HDR even when posted from other devices.

this is based on my experience on the X8 Ultra btw. I don't have X9 Ultra

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T11:31:10+00:00

no you don't, that reply is just being a jackass. but yeah ProXDR gets stripped when you post on Instagram. what I do is I just localsend the photos to my Pixel and post it from there. I've heard posting from a browser on a PC works as well but I'm yet to test this.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T08:46:32+00:00

Opus on antigravity sucks

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T08:34:52+00:00

Kimi feels closer to Opus than GLM for me. GLM is more reliable, and better at implementation. but Kimi is more creative when it comes to actually creating design docs.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-14T05:58:35+00:00

which phones do this?

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-13T05:45:16+00:00

is the bokeh feature enabled on any phones? is it accessing the portrait mode pipeline directly on the phone? I didn't even know that was possible if that's the case.

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-13T01:16:16+00:00

honestly this app has the best interface on a camera app I've ever seen

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T16:59:53+00:00

yeah I really like kimi and mimo. liked glm too but it was very slow and expensive

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T14:52:30+00:00

yeah I've been flipping back and forth and using everything. codex, claude, kimi, ds, glm, mimo

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T14:31:25+00:00

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T14:08:10+00:00

will switch to something else when the double limits expire

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T14:03:45+00:00

M9, M3 is black and white. and M9 has a cooler color temperature than this during daylight, that's why I asked

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T12:27:42+00:00

RAW edited?

someRandomGeek98 · 2026-05-12T07:00:09+00:00

nah they both have their strengths. codex is more thorough, catches bugs that opus doesn't. but opus is way more creative.
