alt Hacker NewsIt's so interesting to see the wild pendulum swings of LLM sentiment here.
If one likes a model then it's capable of one-shotting entire apps.
Otherwise it's "only suitable for the most trivial tasks".
Never in between.

You're confusing "different people with different opinions" with "wild pendulum swings".
Personally my opinion in this regard is highly consistent over time.
It's so true. I bet 80% of questions normal people even ask chatgpt/copilot could be answered with an 8b model trained on recent data.
I don't think people realize how small the gap between free to cheap models have from frontier models. It's going to be commoditized a lot faster than marketing will catch up. Once cash gets tight or prices rise it's more or less done for.
Especially considering some of the small free/cheap models can one shot code now.
