alt Hacker NewsYes. I have no UI experience, and wanted a model that could produce something good without me telling it how anything should look like.
My prompt was something like: "here's data I have, here's what matters to me, create HTML mockup".
All GPT 5.6 models were laughably bad. And I don't want to downplay it - they were just absolutely, objectively horrible. Every single attempt was what I could probably call "if json was ui".
Claude models produced... "claude look".
GLM 5.3 - somewhere between GPT and Claude.
Kimi k3 - each attempt produced beautiful UIs. It used components that I didn't even know existed and wouldn't even know to ask for. But expensive, very expensive.
ox-alpha (GLM 5.3 flash) was very close to K3. And at this price point, it's already configured as "designer" model in my oh-my-pi.
Yeah, exact same for me. K3 used to be my go to for UI but it's quite expensive. Ox alpha being so cheap and so comparatively good at design is crazy.
I haven't tried it but I think Qwen Max is also very good at design.
