legit_api · x · 2026-07-14
Reviewing a specific model, Theo noted its programming performance:
- Writes better code
- Generates less code
- Understands intent better
- Requires proper tuning of "aggressiveness" (he felt 5.6 was slightly too aggressive)
- Overall smarter
While brief and lacking specific tests, the takeaway is clear: the focus is on code quality, verbosity, and response style.
