alt Hacker Newsyeah I enjoy the speed of Gemini, but I also just have the low tier one (I use the 20x Claude and Codex subs for most of my work). For iteration, Gemini is so much fun, but Opus 5.5 is quite fast, as is sol. If you're on a budget, deepseek does look great
Yeah, I mean, I think in theory I could push it to the next tier on Gemini, but at the same time I wouldn't mind trying something else, since maybe my workloads are not really that smart and I am wasting a lot of computational power on something a cheaper model with similar capabilities can do.
