I am absolutely more productive using agents. I don't know the factor but it's large. However much of that productivity is spent tuning the agents and hardening the product. I'm guessing 30%-40%.
Some might consider that a waste; but I don't. The software I'm creating nowadays is vastly more robust than I'd ever been able to create manually.
I don't mean that the code is better. I mean the surrounding tests are vastly better. I have a higher degree of confidence than I ever had manually -- even when I used very disciplined TDD and Acceptance testing.
And then there's the ability to quickly reorganize the modules and the architecture while keeping those robust tests running. That is a tremendous boon.

Qwen 3.7-max beats Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5
We tested three frontier models on a real agentic task: write a Tetris bot that plays the game and trains itself. Each model could read its own code, run benchmarks, and rewrite itself across 10 iterations. Then we compared the final bots head to head.
Qwen 3.7-Max: training cost $1.32, bot improvement +56%
Claude Opus 4.7: training cost $12.15, bot improvement +28%
GPT-5.5: training cost $2.85, bot improvement +7%
Qwen won on every dimension - biggest jump, 9× cheaper than Claude, 2× cheaper than GPT. Long agentic loops is where Qwen Max actually delivers.

@ZetLorento As far as i know, brave search itself is not open source

@TriedAngled Rust an AI slop language? I find LLMs “struggling” with writing good rust code, compared to something like Javascript/Typescript

🦀 Rust vs C for embedded firmware : researchers finally put it to the test.
Two teams. Same functionality. One wrote it in C. One in Rust.
They ran side by side for months on real industrial IoT hardware.
The result? 👇
No strong reason to prefer C over Rust, not on memory footprint, not on execution speed.
And Rust's runtime (Ariel OS) actually came out smaller than the traditional bare-metal C stack.
The "C is faster for embedded" argument just got a lot harder to make. ⚡
