Stop wasting tokens guessing models, start building instead

The author commented that many people are wasting massive amounts of free tokens (or even paying for other models) just to guess the details of mysterious new models like 'Ox Alpha rabbit'.
He argues that this speculation doesn't matter, as the truth will be revealed soon enough. Instead of wasting time on benchmarks and guessing games, developers should utilize the current abundance of free token allowances to actually build applications. This serves as a direct critique of the community's tendency to over-focus on model evaluation at the expense of practical implementation.
