Tried multiple times to use the api file search and it’s complex to setup. Ended up going a different approach.

I am on the same boat, started to build my extensions and preferences in PI. The community is awesome and helpful. My assumption is the personalization has higher priority than the intelligence gap between opus and gpt or others. At least i wont stop working if claude is down.

Don’t want to disappoint you, but above 200k opus memory is like a gold fish. You need to be below 150k to get good research and implementation.

Nextjs had remote code execution vulnerabilities because of how they implemented react server side. I am not touching an AI version without waiting for a while.

How can o4-mini be at 57, and sonnet-4 is at 39? This is way off, o4-mini is not even in the top 5 of coding agents.

Does facebook use llamas in their model? it's a name, it doesn't have to be 100% true to its meaning.

Yes, a lot MCP servers are just api wrappers. Airweave looks like it copies the data and has a RAG that is processing your queries.

Hello Joe, thanks a lot for hydra and pg_duckdb. I wanted to confirm that for self hosting hydra i have to generate a token from your platform? what data is shared with hydra for this case. We need to double check as our data has restriction of sharing.

> Visit http://platform.hydra.so/token to fetch the access token and paste it into the section above.

Your issue is because:

1- the cursor agent doesn’t work with gemini. Some times the diff edit even doesn’t work.

2- Cursor does semantic search to lower the token they sent to models.

The big advantage for Gemini is the context window, use it with aider, clien or roo code.
