.@jasonlk published a 6-test framework for evaluating prosumer vibe platforms using saastr.ai as the benchmark. I ran the exact same tests on @rocketdotnew . Three screenshots. Original, Rocket's, Emergent's output. Here's what showed up. 🧵

Ok tried @emergentlabs prosumer vibe platform briefly: 1/ It passed the Remix Test I asked it to improve and update "SaaStr .ai". Figma Make failed this test, for example. Emergent passed it 100% and didn't hallucinate and make things up. It asked it to improve the design and look-and-feel of SaaStr AI. We can debate if it achieved that, but it was able to do the core task of scraping an existing website and taking a new take on its design.

.@relace_ai has raised $23M to build the rails for AI code generation. This round is led by @a16z, with participation from @matrixvc and @ycombinator. LLMs have proven they can write code—but scaling that code into production still needs better infrastructure. Relace is building exactly that: the infra layer where models and systems are co-optimized for code generation. We’ve already shipped: - The fastest apply model on OpenRouter (10k tok/s) - State-of-the-art code reranking and embeddings models These models have already processed tens of millions of requests from customers like Lovable, Magic Patterns, and Orchids. Now, we’re taking it a step further: with Relace Repos, we’re working on a new source control system that’s built for the age of AI-generated code, with native retrieval and deep integration into our models. If you're looking to build code generation into your product, please reach out!

Your observation is spot on @karpathy. We'd tried tools like Bolt and Lovable in the past, and noticed identical outputs, suggesting reliance on the same LLM/prompting. Almost all the tools are just wrapping the same underlying tech with little innovation. They create cookie-cutter MVPs, lacking differentiation for co-founders, PMs, and devs seeking robust solutions. Hence, we built our own "rocket.new," excelling in innovative solutioning, copywriting, and functionality. We were inspired by your menu generator app idea (karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-me……), so we used that prompt in @rocketdotnew and the initial results are mindblowing.
