I was experimenting with DeepThink today for some code and not super happy with it. It’s worked great on other non-code stuff I’ve thrown at it, but today it hit me with a lot of unnecessary imports, over-condensing code examples, and i think mixing up languages.
Of course, I didn’t have much better luck on chatgpt afterwards either. Which was surprising tbh. It kept screwing up my context window, refusing to let me split my data across multiple prompts. 4o, free though, so I wonder if they’re just limiting me because I’m poor. I’ve had much better luck previously.
edit: this was supposed to be in your other post. lol.
I thought you were gonna lead into a bit about Trump admin using AI decision making
I haven’t tried it for coding yet. I’ve had pretty mixed experience with models in this regard, so I mostly don’t tend to bother. The most I do is try to get them to generate sql queries.
I don’t code as a job, but I deal with codes for solving simple problems and automating certain office work. I use it extensively to write loops and nested loops because I can’t keep that shit straight in my head and always make a +1 or -1 mistake that I can’t find. And I haven’t had it give me a bad loop in any language yet.
Is there a place online I can use DeepThink? Or is it only available for me to run on my own machine?
