Isn't that what Amp code essentially does? I've used Codex and Claude Max but I keep going back to Amp https://ampcode.com/models

It uses different models for different modes.

I just find it to be faster and it often gets things right at the first attempt, but YMMV.

Is there a trustworthy independent source? I don't trust anything coming from Iranian or Israeli news outlets.

Trump ruined America's reputation forever imho.

He keeps changing his mind every day and keeps talking bullshit. At this point the trashy drug dealer trying to sell to school kids is more reputable than the USA

No, Trump did not ruin America's reputation. No matter how many billions he steals, how many kids he rapes, how many Americans his terror squads execute, one man cannot ruin America's reputation. What has ruined America's reputation is all of the people continuing to support and enable this sick man - from the politicians and surveillance industry titans who are in on the con, to the grassroots supporters who won't set aside their (understandable!) grievances and would rather see our country destroyed. That is who has ruined America's reputation.

Americas reputation was ruined by decades of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and violations of human rights at massive scales - and the American peoples' utter inability to reign in their own very, very real war criminals. Trump is just one in a long, long line of American war criminals who should long ago have faced justice in The Hague.

Americans can't understand this because Americans hate being embarrassed by their states' misdeeds, but its very real. The rest of the world sees the crimes, even if American's are too cowardly to also do so ..

But was it really, though?

Don't get me wrong - I've long shared your condemnations, even as an American! Although for us who acknowledge them, I wouldn't say it's "too cowardly" - rather we're quite disenfranchised and the cognitive dissonance tendency is for Americans to see the government as something apart from themselves. So it's more like that I can't practically do much about these criminals acting in my name.

But I mean, the global community basically gave a Nobel Peace Prize to Obama for not being Bush. I'd say the relationships got patched up pretty quickly there. Global domestic surveillance? So nice for the US to take the heat for FVEY et al.

If anything starting a war in Iran is back to business as usual, with (the leadership of) most countries seemingly giving a tacit green light.

The Novel prize was a classic act of duplicity designed to booster his PR while he massacred innocents at a heinous rate. The rest of the world saw this Novel prize for what it is: a fallacy.

And, more to the point - both Ukraine and Iran demonstrate that the USA isn't really that concerned with human rights.

> The rest of the world saw this Novel prize for what it is: a fallacy

But that Nobel prize came from "the rest of the world" ? It seems that you're conflating other countries' governments/elites, and grassroots.

It came from an elite Western imperial group which has the blood of millions on its hands, anyway, which anyone looking at Nobel as a propaganda mechanism can see quite clearly. Other countries were, indeed, bullied into accepting the US' illegal war crimes, crimes against humanity, and violations of human rights at immense scale, because the US is a bully which uses its formidable military industrial complex to subdue nations considered inferior by America's ruling elite.

Exactly just because the dictator was horrible doesn’t give the US the right to attack other countries. I see no difference between Russia, Israel, America. They’re all hostile countries which should be sanctioned for human rights violations and violating international law.

This.

Israel is a horrible human rights abusing country. Why would you support that?

Israel is a wonderful country that protects human rights. I see no reason not to support Israel.

The EU should do more to move away from being dependent on america . America is a hostile nation and should be treated like Russia and China.

EU needs the US so much and every time I see this comment, I remember why. Too many idealists running the EU

America is run by ideologues and the EU idealists. either way we are heading in separate directions. I don’t think the US can be described as a western country anymore tbh.

We need China more.

As an European, I trust China more than America. China doesn't just start bombing other countries and causes regime changes.

What's the problem with Chinese models? The models are already open which makes them more trustworthy than the American closed models.

They are trained to respond to certain topics in a way that does not align with real world evidence. Pretty much the opposite of what you want in such a tool.

This is trivial to test and verify yourself. Just pick any topic you think has a chance of being censored. You can do the same on American models and compare results.

I strongly agree, that this is an issue that needs to be adressed, but for everyday coding tasks it wont matter in 99.9 percent of cases.

I found that as well. It replaces American propaganda with Chinese propaganda.

No it doesn't. It replaces things that have a lot of evidence, with things that don't. You can test this yourself.

I have a Mac Studio with 128GB and a M4 Max and I'd recommend it. The power usage is also pretty good, but you may not care if you live somewhere where energy is cheap.

Have you used this for Rust coding by chance? I'm curious how it compares to Opus 4.6. I realize it isn't going to think to the same level, but curious how code quality is for a more straight forward task.

Can't wait to try that out locally. Keen to reduce my dependence on American products and services.
