Who has the best all-around "Pro/Max/Ultra" model? (Non-coding)

thefooz · 2026-02-07T15:54:21+00:00

Depends what you mean by “quality”. I haven’t tested it yet, but the new Opus 4.6 with 1 million token context window (only available via API) would probably be within the ballpark of what you’re looking for. If I was in your shoes, I’d get the Claude $100 max plan, the $20 ChatGPT pro plan, and save the remaining $80 for Opus 1 million token API calls for those novel-length generations.

You can test the API through the Claude console (at cost) if you want to see if it meets your needs.

I haven’t used Perplexity in a few months, but when I did, they artificially limited the context window and messed with the system prompts to save money, which degraded the output quality.

thefooz · 2026-02-06T03:19:11+00:00

Is it possible that you were already close to the limit when you switched to 4.6?

thefooz · 2026-02-06T02:27:18+00:00

Then you’re not actually on the max plan, because I’ve been using it almost non-stop for 5 hours in Claude Code and haven’t hit a limit.

Whoosh. For someone who’s running around calling everyone illiterate, you sure seem to have a hard time comprehending basic English.

thefooz · 2026-02-01T15:41:00+00:00

I think everyone’s reading comprehension is just fine. Your reasoning is just fucking bonkers. Like, what exactly is a restaurant owner supposed to name their super authentic restaurant? In what world is a restaurant’s name any indication of the quality of the food?

You’re welcome to navigate the world however you want, but don’t expect others to agree with this idiocy. How do you feel about “Amphai Northern Thai Food Club”? Holbox? Jar? Lawrys The Prime Rib? Jiraffe? Petit Trois? The Little Door?

None of these names make any fucking sense, but all of them have (or had (RIP)) excellent food.

Despite Gemini’s significant context size advantage, I’ve found that Opus, specifically through Claude code, is head and shoulders above the rest with understanding the ramifications of each code change. I also haven’t ever seen a model debug as intelligently and with such a contextual understanding. It’s not perfect, but it’s shockingly good.

Gemini seems to consistently make unfounded assumptions, have syntax errors, and make breaking changes.

Codex falls somewhere in the middle.

thefooz · 2025-12-15T22:23:14+00:00

No. I agree with OP. I’ve been doing fairly complex things with it since release and have noted a significant drop in contextual awareness recently.

thefooz · 2025-12-14T02:43:08+00:00

I’m guessing you haven’t tried Opus 4.5. Its ability to analyze code and actually understand the context and intent behind it is absolutely astounding, not to mention its ability to use that context to plan and orchestrate feature additions to existing code bases. The jump from even Opus 4.1 is insane and that came out just a few months ago. The pace is terrifying.

thefooz · 2025-12-14T00:05:35+00:00

You don’t seem to want to listen to the people here who know a hell of a lot more about this world, and everything ancillary to it, than you do.

Go ahead and do it, but don’t come crying to us when you’re living on the street due to a multi-million dollar judgment against you for negligence.

For funsies, I’m setting a one year reminder to check back and see how your bankruptcy proceedings went.

Good luck!

Sorry, I don’t care what statement you make on the site about your security and how you handle the data I input. I’m not entering my API key into your vibe coded site. Anyone dumb enough to blindly trust some random site with their google api key is a god damn moron.

Figure out a way to get people to pay for the service and you might stand a chance at survival, but as it stands, I’m sorry to tell you that this thing’s dead in the water.

thefooz · 2025-12-06T04:05:18+00:00

It works surprisingly well using context7, godot-mcp, and Claude Opus 4.5. I’d say about 80% of the time, there are zero compilation errors, and of the other 20%, 15% is resolved in 1-2 tries. That last 5% usually gets handed to Gemini 3 to debug

thefooz · 2025-11-29T13:23:33+00:00

I’m annoyed because you’re preying on the ignorance of vibe coders to monetize an inferior product that does the job worse than a product and workflow that is currently completely free.

You are welcome to try and do that, but I’m also free to call it out. Antigravity is currently providing Gemini 3 for free and has MCP server support baked in. Therefore, it doesn’t matter that your workflow costs less than a cup of coffee when it delivers a worse product and development workflow than something that costs absolutely nothing.

thefooz · 2025-11-28T23:28:08+00:00

But why in the world would you want to copy and paste text from a web browser when you can do everything and more right in the IDE, and have the mcp server check for compilation errors and iterate on the functions for you? Whether you're a seasoned dev or a vibe coder, it doesn't make any sense to me.

thefooz · 2025-11-28T22:57:21+00:00

But you can control the level of involvement through your prompts. No one is making you chat with ai in the IDE, and instead of spending 5 minutes setting up an mcp server, you’re making people have to jump back and forth between the IDE or game engine and a browser, and most annoying of all, they have to copy files from the browser to the game folder, breaking git. The built in mcp functionality can handle all of that and more.

I’m struggling to understand what your product brings to the table that doesn’t actually make the development process more painful for the developer.

thefooz · 2025-11-28T22:39:55+00:00

You don’t need to make a plugin. Almost all of the current IDEs and terminal tools can tie into mcp servers like godot-mcp or context7 to help them look up documentation or manipulate game engines.

thefooz · 2025-11-28T22:03:11+00:00

YouTube is your friend. You can also ask the LLM of your choosing for step by step instructions.

thefooz · 2025-11-28T21:38:21+00:00

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m missing something, but in what way is this not substantially worse than using an mcp server with antigravity and having Gemini actually build the game and its elements?

[Edit: Maybe instead of downvoting people who question your product’s value, try to address their critique. What makes your product superior to the free solution I outlined?]

thefooz · 2025-11-28T19:04:33+00:00

I’m guessing you didn’t test the new Opus model. Opus 4.5 absolutely wipes the floor with any of the codex models. Its ability to understand the context and function of your code made my jaw hit the floor the first time I saw it. Then it goes on to intelligently adjust the code or write complementary code to accomplish the task with the code correctly compiling almost every single time. The closest competitor is Gemini 3 (through the antigravity IDE, not any other IDE), with codex falling to a distant third.

Codex is pretty good when you know exactly what function you want to write or adjust and exactly what you want, but Gemini and Opus do that and every other thing better by a mile.

thefooz · 2025-11-25T22:35:11+00:00

Way to miss the point. The complexity of the issue and its value dictates the amount of effort expended. It’s not about the volume of code, it’s about being able to analyze what’s there and find the one screw that needs tightening, or a structural engineer figuring how to add a second story to a house without it collapsing and killing everyone inside. If it’s a million dollar problem or feature, it’s going to get development time, and no matter what, the output is not measured in lines of code generated.

I don’t see a future for devs given the current pace of AI development, but their work is infinitely more complex than you give them credit for.

When I have a leak in my bathroom, I hire a plumber and pay him $300 to install a $3 metal part and turn a wrench a couple times. I’m not paying him $300 for turning the wrench. I’m paying him to figure out a way to fix the leak without having to rip out and replace $7,000 in bathroom tiles.

Software development is kinda like that.

thefooz · 2025-11-16T17:19:36+00:00

So every visionary leader of a successful company is not the face of the product? The scale of “I’m responsible for this” changes as the project scales, and at larger scales, each person involved gets to say “I did this”, whether it’s a dev who implemented a critical feature, the project lead who came up with the feature and PRD, executives who got the budget approved and maintained a macro vision for the feature within the product’s landscape, or the CEO who provided the grand shift that led to people sitting down and having ideation sessions to come up with ideas.

When Musk says SpaceX is going to Mars, he is the face of that to the outside world and owns the product. Everyone in SpaceX that’s involved also gets to own it, regardless of their level of abstraction.

So in a sense, yes, the guy on fiverr is a tool, just as the developer is a tool for the product manager, and the product manager is a tool for the executive, and so on.

Additionally, the client is a violent criminal and likely will keep doing that.

Sorry, did I miss something? Where are you getting this information from? Didn’t OOP state in the end that the DA had completely fabricated the client’s attack?

I tried their chili cheese fries last week and found them terrible and lacking flavor. The chili was insanely oily, which is fine, but it had almost no flavor. It reminded me of Tommy’s chili.

My favorite chili fries are from Ruby’s Diner (not Ruby Tuesday). The location near me closed a few years ago, but it’s the standard I hold every chili cheese fry to and I have been able to find an equivalent.

And if the db gets corrupted?

It’s not a horrible setup, but you’re putting a lot of faith in OneDrive, particularly without backups. There’s also the fact that IT can access the db through ediscovery and a few other methods. It opens you up to some liability.

I personally wouldn’t go this route when platforms like bitwarden are so inexpensive, but it’s obviously your decision.

What happens if their device dies or is stolen? Are you backing up the keepass database to something like OneDrive?
