I encountered the same issue. Kimi 2.7 looked impressive on paper, but in practice, the code was so riddled with errors that I ended up using GPT-5.5 to fix it.

I have to kick the hell out of its plans in ways that I don't think someone without a ton of real world experience could do
I think that’s the real point the article’s making. Unless you already know the ropes, you can’t tell if a plan is actually any good. I use LLMs all the time for work, but only because I get the system well enough to spot the nonsense or catch when a plan duplicates something that already exists. They really do keep rewriting the same functions over and over in the code.
in the same way claude and codex both use their paid models by default.
at least codex and grok are open source so we can see what is going on.
I always like testing out new things to put into my workflow. the first thing I will say is that its a welcome change to have an app 40 MB rather than over 400
i remeber reading in one of the release blog posts that that version was the "first that codex helped train"
thanks for the correction
The grok-cli is on github[0] there is nothing that I can see in the code that is activily looping ~/ and uploading everything.
My two guesses would be one the LLM decided it needed these files for the task or two the user simple asked grok to do it so they could post the tool calls on twitter.
why do people give these LLMs full access to everything and then complain when it does somethign stupid? that is what sandboxes are for.
Sure Is! I’m largely uninformed on the topic. Asking questions even stupid ones means you get to not be stupid after.
That’s good to know. This was one of my thoughts.
If the evs end up generating a tonne of material that we can’t do anything with that would be a short term gain.
Uninformed maybe, I’ve not looked into it as Evs not high my list of things to read about hence the questions that came to mind.
Maybe you can enlighten me.
My question that once you mined the materials for the car + battery, shipped that somewhere to be built, then shipped that to be sold.
Then you have the added waste battery once it not longer hold enough charge. Is it actually better for the environment?
If we add all this extra pull on the grid we need to generate the power for that too.
Well we don’t know but just look at figma, claude for it happened and then Claude design come out.
They knew exactly how developers worked from using figma as training data.
then why not just use threads/processes in python?
There's a much cleaner way to do this - a shared helper
disagree, then you end up with something this this
function checkAll(target, conditions) { return Object.entries(conditions).every(([path, expected]) => { const value = path.split('.').reduce((o, k) => o?.[k], target); return typeof expected === 'function' ? expected(value, target) : value === expected; }); }
and const ok = checkAll({ user, account }, { 'user.isActive': true, 'user.isSuspended': false, 'account.status': 'open', 'user': u => u.hasPermission('read'), // predicate for the trickier bit });
how is that better?
if you child breaks the law and are under the age of an adult you as a parent are responsible, as a parent you are responsible to feed, wash, look after, keep dangerous stuff like medicine out of reach, if you live in a place that allows gun you have to keep that away too.
but suddenly because its a screen suddenly that responsibility to parent goes away?
i'm not trying to provoke I simple don't understand the other side of the argument.
do we know that Mythos is in fact a bigger model then opus?
They are offloading thinking to the AI too.
It then has to look over everything see how it connects together and then decide the best way to do something.
Giving it small and very focused plans when you already understand the system gets it done fast and cheap.
i can see why they want to stop it but 1. you have to pay for the "attack" 2. these AI companies trained on copyrighted content without permission or attribution to anyone who's data was used to train.
this is my finding too, i have moved to it fully for most of the plan/coding.
for most tasks is capable and very cheap, for a days worth of tasks is costing about $10
Isn’t this already a thing because it requires an adult and a payment method to get a connection to your house.
I’ve already stated who I am when I paid.
You want to compact early though as sending the whole chat you will end up with a lot of tokens not in the cache which 1. Costs way more and 2. Will slow the request down as it has to process it all.
i jump about a lot, for coding gemini and grok are definitely not as strong as gpt 5.5/opus/sonnet/composer.
composer 2.5 is actually very good and use it for a good chunk of tasks.
There are actually fine tunes of qwen on opus “thinking” tokens that teach it to think like opus does.

even if they did it it wouldn't be of much use because correct or not the output was the likely output 100% of the time.
Well one can no longer search for information in the big search engines without it just giving you the answer.
This ruins “search and topic and write about it”
This happened after he received CPR for several hours at a cabin on the Hardangervidda plateau before rescue arrived.
This means although his heart wasn’t technically beating, he did have blood being circulated via cpr.
When I read the title I assumed he was alone before rescuing.
I find opus for planning and sonnet for coding but codex for code review.
security by only obscurity is bad. Having both is better.
For example say I have a hollowed out wall that is hidden behind a painting.
Just putting my money in the hole is bad once it’s found it’s gone but if I put my money in a safe in the hole. Well now you need to find it and break the safe and a hidden safe is objectively better than just having a safe on the floor because you need to find it first.
This is a problem I find with opus is will spend so long thinking then going “but wait what if”
To point where I stop it and simple tell it to “start writing code you can work it out as you go along”
Seems writers block also effects LLM
