<p>Local models are quite capable. Obviously a 4B model isn't going to do the job of a trillion parameter SOTA model but there are many local models that are both fast and very usable for these agentic flows.<p>Qwen 30B and GLM Flash (also around 30B) are both very good for example and I use them regularly.</p>

<p>Thanks for being part of the discussion. Almost every response from you in this thread however comes off an unyielding, "we decided this and it's 100% right"?<p>In light of this vulnerability, the team may want to revisit some of these assumptions made.<p>I guarantee the majority of people see a giant modal covering what they're trying to do and just do whatever gets rid of it - ie: the titlebar that says 'Trust this workspace?' and hit the big blue "Yes" button to quickly just get to work.<p>With AI and agents, there are now a lot of non-dev "casual" users using VS code because they saw something on a Youtube video too that have no clue what dangers they could face just by opening a new project.<p>Almost noone is going to read some general warning about how it "may" execute code. At the very least, scan the project folder and mention what will be executed (if it contains anything).</p>

<p>It's nice that they mention node-pty that does most of the heavy lifting for the terminal/pseudo-tty that powers this (VSCode's terminal emulator is powered by the same library).<p>It looks like they've added a layer on top of node-pty to allow serializing/streaming of the contents to the terminal within the mini-terminal viewports they're allocating for the terminal rendering. I wonder if they're releasing that portion as open source?</p>

<p>Strange - the model is marked as "Trains on data" ("To our knowledge, this provider may use your prompts and completions to train new models. This provider is disabled, but it can be re-enabled by changing your data policy.").<p>This is usually not the case for paid models -- is Openrouter just marking this model incorrectly or do Deepseek actually train on submitted data?</p>

<p>I don't know if it will stay this low but the whole point of v3.2 is to be cheaper to run than <= v3.1.<p>(The inference costs are cheaper for them now as context grows because of the Sparse attention mechanism)</p>

<p>Interesting idea.<p>The MCP tool itself seems to be pretty simple:<p>- The MCP server makes a tool available called 'get_inspirations' ("Get sources of inspiration. Always use this when working on creative tasks - call this tool before anything else.")<p>- When you call get_inspirations()  with "low" as the parameter,  it returns strings like this:<p><pre><code>  Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Miss Van, Stem.

  Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Mass-energy equivalence, Jonas Salk.</code></pre>
etc<p>- 'High' inspiration returns strings like this (more keywords):<p><pre><code>  Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Charles Babbage, Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, Eagles Take It Easy, Blue Spruce.

  Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly, Design Patterns, Flowey, Titanic.
</code></pre>
etc.<p>Simple tool. Seems adding a few keywords for 'inspirations' is what makes the LLMs generate more varied text.</p>
