Helpful and nice forum pal:

Me with an nvidia 1060 6GB VRAM:
Why. Why I keep asking these questions, damage taken...

 

Have you tried Kimi? I get almost identical results to Claude.

 

Do not want to steal the thread, but has any of you tried ACE-Step 1.5?

 

I've heard of it, but I'm not using any paid models for now so didn't try it. I'll eventually try some 20 euros/month plan but there's a lot of variables and options.

Sweat not, my friend. I'm a professional thread derailer so in my own thread I'm being consistent.
This seems one of the latest for music generation but haven't heard examples

 

One of the big problems I have with software engineers using AI commercially is that when asked to debug the code, they haven't got the first clue where things can go wrong. I have had to debug other people's code many, many times and I've stared at the screen wondering "why on God's green earth did you write that?".

I've stared at AI written code, and thought about re-writing it myself.

I'm glad I'm not a programmer any more

 

Hmm, I’ve never paid to use it.

 

yes! i mentioned a while back its free. Whatever free means with a technology company.

 

For coding, you should try Cursor AI (you need to download the interface), even if you stick to an entry level plan (you can try it for free). I've been using it for some time and it's not bad at all, you should check it out.

Best AI agent for coding is Claude Code with Opus model as far as I know

 

My mistake, didn't know. I'll give it a shot before deciding.

As the editor I've read it's very good. I'm not sure if they have their own AI giant behind. But seems to integrate easily with pretty much any other you're subscribed to.

 

Another way I've been using Gemini is through Firebase Studio. (Free)
It's basically a web-based VS Code like IDE with built-in Gemini chat.

It's great for a project with multiple files, folders, etc.
It understands the whole code base and it applies edits directly to the files. (Before asking, of course.)

And you can create a rules file called "airules.md", where you basically tell Gemini how to behave
(personality/tone, exprerience/skills, project goals, constraints, etc.).

A way better experience IMO than using Gemini purely through chat and manually copy-pasting code.

Interesting. The codebase can be local, I assume? Not on github or other online repo

Yep. This goes without saying but doesn't hurt to remind it.

BTW, thoughts on second season? sry, couldn't help myself

Spoiler

 

Yes the repos / workspaces are stored on Firebase, you can import a Git repo but you don't have to,
even when you import a repo, it's just a copy, the changes it makes are local, you can commit them back to the Git repo if you want.

You can start from a empty workspace or a template.

In this case, contrary to my name, no I'm a not a Fallout (Netflix) fan...

I'm a huge Fallout and One Piece fan, but unfortunately both live-action "adaptations" disappointed me,
they're not for me, and I'm ok with it, to the people who enjoy them, more power to you!

 

@shinyzen. Are you able to adapt this core reasoning to be specific to custom php coding /script for wordpress ?

/* === [CORE] REASONING INTEGRITY === */
// MODE: strict
// REASON-001: Do not provide confident answers unless the data /code has been 100% verified and validated.
// If code is not present in memory or visible context, explicitly acknowledge that absence.
// REASON-002: Use best Coding practices.........etc

 

I think they actually use Claude (or a variant/version of it) among other things, but it's definitely an interesting tool (and a somewhat worrying one, as it keeps getting better at it)
