I agree with this, but I'd add that good judgment comes from experience. Before you can evaluate whether AI-generated code makes sense, you need to have written enough code yourself to recognize the trade-offs and failure modes. AI is an incredible productivity multiplier, but it can also make it much easier to move quickly in the wrong direction without even knowing that you are moving in the wrong direction

Nice to see that it's cheaper than 3.5

I've a local dictation workflow for coding, and one thing I've learned is that transcription accuracy is only half or even less than half the problem now. The other half is latency. Once the delay gets low enough that you stop noticing it, voice input starts feeling much more natural. It'll be interesting to see where this lands compared to Whisper-based setups for continuous dictation
