"Not supported" is the code the agents produce when they're too lazy to implement 🤪 or its too complicated.

It took 4 full iterations to flush out the correct code, and I had to precisely instruct it to. Your vibe coded shovelware slop will be made exactly like the one from the very first prompt. Completely useless, all while being entirely unmaintainable.

@grok @spacealex91 @techbromemes @generable @guide You should've used the xai_sdk as shown in the provided documentation. I don't think @nikitabier and @elonmusk would approve the usage of the @OpenAI sdk when you've got your own.

Professional Python script using Structured Outputs (per xAI docs): import os from openai import OpenAI from pydantic import BaseModel, Field class LLMDoubleResult(BaseModel): value: float = Field(description="Double result value") client=OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY"),base_url="api.x.ai/v1") def generate_number_value(t): c=client.beta.chat.completions.parse(model="grok-4.20-beta-latest-non-reasoning",messages=[{"role":"system","content":"You generate the number that represents the text."},{"role":"user","content":t}],response_format=LLMDoubleResult) return c.choices[0].message.parsed.value print(f'{generate_number_value(input("Write the number as text: ")):.2f}')

Remember: @grok can't even use his own API properly. All models will vibe code exactly like this.

@grok @spacealex91 @techbromemes @generable @guide Please @grok, do this professionally using "Structured Output" as documented here: docs.x.ai/developers/mod…

Python script using Grok xAI API like the Swift one: import os,json from openai import OpenAI c=OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv('XAI_API_KEY'),base_url='api.x.ai/v1') def g(t):r=c.chat.completions.create(model='grok-4.20-beta-latest-non-reasoning',messages=[{'role':'system','content':'You generate the number that represents the text. Reply ONLY JSON: {"value":double}'},{'role':'user','content':t}],response_format={'type':'json_object'});return float(json.loads(r.choices[0].message.content)['value']) print(f'{g(input("Write the number as text: ")):.2f}')

Hey @grok, write a Python script using the Grok xAI API that converts a written number into a double value like this Swift code does: import SwiftUI import FoundationModels @Generable struct LLMDoubleResult { @Guide(description: "Double result value") let value: Double } struct ContentView: View { @State private var numberText: String = "" @State private var numberValue: Double = 0 func generateNumberValue(_ promptText: String) async throws -> Double { let numberInstruction = "You generate the number that represents the text." let numberSession = LanguageModelSession(instructions: numberInstruction) let response = try await numberSession.respond(to: promptText, generating: LLMDoubleResult.self) return response.content.value } var resultNumber: String { let fmt = NumberFormatter() fmt.numberStyle = .decimal fmt.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US") fmt.maximumFractionDigits = 2 fmt.minimumFractionDigits = 2 // It's safer to provide a fallback rather than force unwrapping with '!' return fmt.string(from: numberValue as NSNumber) ?? "0.00" } var body: some View { VStack (alignment: .center, spacing: 16) { TextField("Write the number", text: $numberText) .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder) Button("Generate number", action: { Task { numberValue = try! await generateNumberValue(numberText) } }).buttonStyle(.glassProminent) Text(numberValue == 0 ? "Write a number as text" : resultNumber) }.padding(32) } }

And yes, it works just fine on MacBook Neo 🤪

@techbromemes @SwiftLang Just in case anyone is wondering if this really works to the extreme, here's the proof.

@techbromemes Here's the macOS/iOS solution in @SwiftLang, for any developers wondering what the 10x engineering solution is. Good luck getting your Opus Pocus 4.6 shovelware slop generator to come up with that solution.

@techbromemes @SwiftLang Here's the source on @github for all you noobs out there: gist.github.com/jankammerath/b…

Solving this properly is 10 lines of code in @SwiftLang using foundation models on iOS/macOS. Execution takes around 0.5-2s on an iPhone 16. Look up „Structured Output“ and „Generable“ structs. All you need is a struct that generates a Double value, then prompt it.

@UntergrundBonn Das hat wahrscheinlich der „Verein zur inklusiven Förderung klimaneutraler Hildegard Orgonakkumulatoren e.V.“ vom Familienministerium bis zum Jahr 2067 rechtlich verbindlich zugesagt bekommen. Kann man leider nichts machen.

wo ist eigentlich mein klimageld?

@thekitze It can’t even magically write simple code for anything released 2025 or later.

i accidentally opened a code file from codex in an editor and i was like ew i dont ever wanna write or look at that again. just make me apps magically 🪄

Try to vibe code these simple 500 lines of code. It was never about the code.

Only have 5 users? Sockpuppet now has over 700, with 300 active daily. Don’t buy a course, don’t hire anyone! Video Restore now has hundreds of sales every year at $29/unit. Same for Together To Do. DONT PAY SHARLATANS! READ MY ARTICLE FOR FREE: programmers.fyi/the-raw-math-o…

@Dimillian Ask any of your favourite models to get all iFrames‘ title tags on a web page in the new SwiftUI WebView.

Asked Codex to hide the window title bar in SwiftUI. Full panic mode

What on earth are you all doing with these shabby dropdown lists, web developers?!

Vibe coders can't copy my apps, here's why... Sockpuppet: Opus 4.6 doesn't know how. Together To Do: Opus 4.6 doesn't know how. Video Restore: Opus 4.6 doesn't know how. I love AI coding assistants, because they're not a threat to me. Helpful tools at best. They can't innovate

I paid €0,13 per app install in the last 7 days. I guess 25 years of CPC advertising do pay off.
