My first thought as well. I personally don't find these types of "studies" very interesting, but I assume I'm not the target audience. For someone not well exposed to AI, it might be interesting.
what does this language excel at in particular? havent heard of it before and didnt find a clear use case / mission statement on the webpage. unless I'm missing where to find it. just curious to learn more.
I call the API directly using a custom Open WebUI plugin (pipe function) I had Flash/Sonnet write/iterate on. I have a similar pipe function for Anthropic's API but even just Sonnet is prohibitively expensive for the same performance I get with Flash for pennies.
I've been waiting for something like this article for a month. The other AI companies are being left in the dust. I rip about 200 million tokens at least a day and spend maybe $3 with deepseek flash v4.1 for self hosted related coding tasks for ~20 projects i work on / maintain in parallel. Its a daily driver for sure. not even worth considering anything else, but maybe a locally run model on my GPU at the moment.
This is exactly how I feel. I can roughly understand why people feel sad, but I cannot relate. I feel more capable than ever before and am simply excited. LLMs have been a great learned tool for me especially to venture into new programming domains in my personal projects.
