Developer Grant Hawkins (granawkins) replied to Yacine MTB that he now offloads about 60% of his coding tasks — the easy stuff — to Luna, finding it good enough and notably fast.
The context is notable: Yacine had just said "Nevermind I'm actually not, it's not even close. You win Mr Altman," and Hawkins pushed back with his own hands-on experience, arguing that for lightweight coding scenarios Luna already holds up. A typical practitioner's take on where models fit in real workflows.
