I just bought a M5 Macbook Pro 2 weeks ago. Thinking of returning it and getting a M5 Pro with the same configuration but only $200 more. How should I compare M5 vs M5 Pro?

I've been using it lately with OpenCode and it's working pretty well (except for API reliability issues).

GPT4o and 4.1 are definitely not the best models to use here. Use Claude 3.5/3.7, Gemini Pro 2.5 or o3. All of them work really well for small files.

Working on a web app builder that generates code via AI, much like hundreds of other tools out there. The differentiator is that the tool automatically sets up a Postgres DB (using Neon) for you. So, it's a lot easier to get started and it can handle large complex apps that require auth and database, but it can also build simple websites. The stack is next.js and code is easy to export and view.

Primarily uses Claude Sonnet 3.7 and Gemini Pro 2.5. But you can choose other models too.

You can try it for free while I'm beta testing it here: https://lumosbuilder.com?ref=hn

Batching likely means the response is not real-time. You set up a batch job and they send you the results later.

This is really cool! Would love an open source version of it.
