Indie developer yihuiindie laments that losing Claude didn't just cost him a brilliant programmer — it also cost him his go-to video editor. His AI video editing tool ChatCut, now driven by Gemini 4 Carbon, produces noticeably worse cut points: "many of the edit points feel bad."
The attached screenshot shows ChatCut's timeline editing caption segments of a 46-minute video. A first-hand account of how swapping the underlying model degrades a downstream AI product.
