How is the web search functionality? I have only used deepseek to lower costs from gpt api but had to incorporate a serper to actually do web searches

Assuming you've configured the web search MCP [1], it works well.

Been using GLM-4.7 for a couple weeks now. Anecdotally, it’s comparable to sonnet, but requires a little bit more instruction and clarity to get things right. For bigger complex changes I still use anthropic’s family, but for very concise and well defined smaller tasks the price of GLM-4.7 is hard to beat.

This aligns very closely with my experience.

When left to its own devices, GLM-4.7 frequently tries to build the world. It's also less capable at figuring out stumbling blocks on its own without spiralling.

For small, well-defined tasks, it's broadly comparable to Sonnet.

Given how incredibly cheap it is, it's useful even as a secondary model.

You're downloading untested code from an unknown user on a random literally just-spun-up 'marketplace' and are shocked when it doesn't work

I think you misinterpreted GP's comment (or at least the tone).

"After you checkout, we’ll email you a private download link that includes everything you need."

monooso · 2 days ago

It used to be a paid product, now it's free. There's a clear link to the source code on GitHub [1], so you don't need to go through the "checkout".

The owner's terrible reputation, no mystery here.

monooso · 2 days ago

You may of course choose not to use this software because you disagree with the personal politics of one of the creators, DHH.

However, the owner (37signals, not DHH) has an excellent reputation for producing high quality web applications since the early 2000s.

I'm a little surprised nobody has mentioned Campfire [1].

It's open source, trivial to self-host, and can support an arbitrary number of rooms and users.

Sure, it doesn't have all of Discord's bells and whistles (for better or worse), but then neither do some of the alternatives mentioned in the article.

Its not though - I dont want to write my own operating system, build an ecosystem of apps, write hardware drivers, etc.

Win11 has massive downsides, so does macOS, so does desktop Linux, so do all the other options - I have to choose between one of those options to get things done, going my own isnt an option.

At no point did I suggest that you build your own OS. To extend my tortured analogy, that would be like suggesting you grow your own spouse.

Who is better?

monooso · 5 days ago

I think you're missing the point.

If a friend stated that they will stay with their partner regardless of how deceptive or abusive said partner's behaviour becomes, you would rightly question the wisdom of that choice.

Stating that you will remain loyal to a company come what may is even worse. It's an entity with no interest in your wellbeing. It exists to extract as much money or information from you as possible.

Quite apart from everything else, such a statement eliminates the prospect of ever finding something better.

This is a simplification to make the calculation more straightforward. But a typical US workplace honors about 11 to 13 federal holidays. I assume that an AI does not need a vacation, but can't work 2 days straight autonomously when its human handlers are enjoying a weekend.

monooso · 5 days ago

There are no human handlers. From the opening paragraph (emphasis mine):

> We built a Software Factory: non-interactive development where specs + scenarios drive agents that write code, run harnesses, and converge without human review.

[Edit] I don't know why I'm being downvoted for quoting the linked article. I didn't say it was a good idea.

The cost of "launching" mass on Earth is not zero, though.

I didn't suggest that it was.
