It is interesting that i find composer to be one of my favorites as while it is a bit dumb it is about 100x faster than the fat boys.

Sometimes u need the beef of opus but 80% composer is plenty.

I have been on the fence if I think composer is useful, but the speed argument is one I hadn’t really considered. I use cursor with Opus almost exclusively but the other day I tried using OpenCode locally with a 6-bit quantized version of Qwen 3.5 and holy crap the speed and latency were mind blowing. Even if not quite as sharp as big boi Opus and the gang.

Now you’ve got me thinking I should give composer another go because speed can be pretty darn great for more generic, basic, tasks.
