I already loved Claude models, and this makes me even more eager to use them.

I liked the simplistic UI, but it is not quite ready for serious use.
I tried using it on a simple svg that i had (around 1KB, just few simple lines and shapes). But it did not rendered them properly. Colors were off (black-box instead of original colors), and in one place it was showing at triangle instead of an L shaped line.
Also when I move an object, a single Cmd+Z wont undo the action. Have to repeat twice for object to go back (I am using Chrome on macbook)

Using claude code with custom models
Will it work? Yes. Will it produce same quality as Sonnet or Opus? No.

My experience thus far is that the local models are a) pretty slow and b) prone to making broken tool calls. Because of (a) the iteration loop slows down enough to where I wander off to do other tasks, meaning that (b) is way more problematic because I don't see it for who knows how long.
This is, however, a major improvement from ~6 months ago when even a single token `hi` from an agentic CLI could take >3 minutes to generate a response. I suspect the parallel processing of LMStudio 0.4.x and some better tuning of the initial context payload is responsible.
6 months from now, who knows?
Open models are trained more generically to work with "Any" tool.
Closed models are specifically tuned with tools, that model provider wants them to work with (for example specific tools under claude code), and hence they perform better.
I think this will always be the case, unless someone tunes open models to work with the tools that their coding agent will use.

Only tangentially related, but: what is the appeal of TUI's? I don't really understand.
The advantages of CLI's are (IMO) that they compose well and can be used in scripts. With TUI's, it seems that you just get a very low fidelity version of a browser UI?
I was skeptical too, but after trying lazygit, lazydocker, k9s and a few more TUI programs, I can see the value.

NAT is the reason for IPV6 not taking over.
Also it acts as a nice security perimeter. If all IoT devices in a home were exposed to internet, It would be absolute mess.
1. replacing junior engineers, with AI ofcourse breaks the talent pipeline. Seniors will retire one day, who is going to replace them? Are we taking the bet, that we wont need any engineer at that time? sounds dangerous.
2. Junior engineer's heavy reliance on AI tools is a problem in itself. AI tools learn from existing code that is written by senior engineers. Too much use of AI by junior engineers will result in deterioration of engineering skills. It will eventually result in AI learning from AI generated code. This is true for most other content as well, as more and more content on internet is AI generated.
why it could not be a VS Code extension?
I have been using pandoc to convert markdown files to pdfs, and keep them in a git repo. Looking at typst, I think it can be a better replacement.
