Ahhhh fair play. I have a lot of freedom since I’m paying out of pocket for my own use. I have a pretty beefy rig for running local, but it’s not beefy enough to run deepseek pro and the like 😬 so, I have a bunch of subscriptions to try out a bunch of different models and see what works best in my workflow. I also have a problem with making alts in games, which seems like it rhymes 🤔

Been pretty impressed with glm5.1 too, before deepseek-v4 came out, but you’d be amazed what even a smaller older coding model can do with the right config and a little proactive context management. I really hope this trend of smaller, better models for local agentic use continues.

I’ve been using deepseek v4 flash on opencode’s infra for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty solid for something so low-cost. Honestly satisfied with it over Claude, for the premium Anthropic charges. Have you tried it at all?

I’m so fucking confused, man. I’m a tech guy. I’ve spent my whole life getting good with computers, I know very little about cars, and I just can’t keep up. I’ve heard that yeah ethanol is bad but put in your tank what the manual says because if your engine isn’t designed for “high-octane” fuel (???) you’ll damage your car with the pure stuff? But I know how ethanol dries out rubber, which I’m quite sure is what my fuel lines are made of, but my manual says to use 85. So should I be using 87 and avoiding 85? Or…?

I just want an electric car. “Plug it in”, I get.

Edit: Thank you to everyone who responded! It was salient as I was actually driving at the time and saw the comments before my next stop; I ended up getting the right gas thanks to you all. My car immediately started running better. I’m a lot less confused now, I’ll be using 87 gas from now on. Thankfully my car seems to have survived my mistake(s) without any immediately negative consequences >.>
