Sonnet/Claude Code may technically be "smarter", but Qwen3-Coder on Cerebras is often more productive for me because it's just so incredibly fast. Even if it takes more LLM calls to complete a task, those calls are all happening in a fraction of the time.

Seems like a really interesting project! I don't understand what's going on with latency vs durability here. The benchmarks [1] report ~1ms latency for sequential writes, but that's just not possible with S3. So presumably writes are not being confirmed to storage before confirming the write to the client.
What is the durability model? The docs don't talk about intermediate storage. Slatedb does confirm writes to S3 by default, but I assume that's not happening?
SlateDB offers different durability levels for writes. By default writes are buffered locally and flushed to S3 when the buffer is full or the client invokes flush().

Yes, I’m the founder and maintainer of the Milvus project, and also a big fan of many AWS projects, including S3, Lambda, and Aurora. Personally, I don’t consider S3Vector to be among the best products in the S3 ecosystem, though I was impressed by its excellent latency control. It’s not particularly fast, nor is it feature-rich, but it seems to embody S3’s design philosophy: being “good enough” for certain scenarios.
In contrast, the products I’ve built usually push for extreme scalability and high performance. Beyond Milvus, I’ve also been deeply involved in the development of HBase and Oracle products. I hope more people will dive into the underlying implementation of S3Vector—this kind of discussion could greatly benefit both the search and storage communities and accelerate their growth.
While your technical analysis is excellent, making judgements about workload suitability based on a Preview release is premature. Preview services have historically had significantly lower performance quotas than GA releases. Lambda for example was limited to 50 concurrent executions during Preview, raised to 100 at GA, and now the default limit is 1,000.
Grok are the first models I am boycotting on purely environmental grounds. They built their datacenter without sufficient local power supply and have been illegally powering it with unpermitted gas turbine generators until that capacity gets built, to the significant detriment of the local population.

I always enjoy reading those IBM Redbooks and learning about the technical details of these mainframe systems.
Reading about mainframes feels very much like reading science fiction. Truly awesome technology that exists on a completely different plane of computing than anything else.

This thinly veiled advertisement claims it's a waste of time to understand the tradeoffs in the models you're using, and you should instead pay them to make those decisions for you. No thank you.

They're not exactly the same, but you should have similar feelings about forcing a company to hand over data to researchers and forcing a company to install a back door for law enforcement.
Forcing Twitter to make public posts easily accessible is not at all the same as compelling Apple to hand over your private messages.
Per the ongoing Freedesktop discussion, AWS offered to host but Freedesktop is leaning towards self-hosting on Hetzner so they can control their own destiny and sponsors can contribute cash towards the bill instead of donating hardware.

I use only one snippet both before and after integrating copilot (provided by my employer) into my workflow, which is for creating a empty arrow function (in JavaScript / TypeScript.)
Copilot have not been able to generate arrow functions when I intend to, in my experience. I found it pretty incompetent, and unable to provide relevant assistance if there is any bit of abstraction. YMMV.
I reckon my need for this specific snippet could be replaced with a more competent agent. I recently subscribed to cursor and so far it seems promising.
Same for me, I use "ar <tab>" in Intellij all the time.
