I throw all my queries at Grok 4 Expert, GPT 5 Thinking and Opus 4.1 Extended Thinking.. for Golang it's been my experience that Grok produce the best results about 90% of the time as well.

Some simple example:

https://chatgpt.com/share/69102735-46ac-8012-9cf0-0969585c86....

https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk%3D_54b5f2f1-732e-4372....

I don't use Gemini but haven't been impressed whenever I tried it with GitHub Copilot.


Not sure about Claude, but OpenAI models are pretty bad at Go for some reason. For example, they always want to replace the "new" style for-loop that uses range with the old syntax. This drives me nuts.


I used to think OpenAI was going to be the Yahoo of the AI wave, but might not even be that, maybe it's the AOL.

And from what it looks like to me Google is preparing to be the Google of the AI wave.


Or maybe the Google Wave of the AI Wave...


Isn't Sonnet 4.5 stronger than Opus 4.1?


Claude definitely engage in some shady and illegal behavior. I wanted to see what the annual plan would cost as it was just displaying €170+VAT, and when I clicked the upgrade button to find out (I checked everywhere on the page) then I was automatically subscribed without any confirmation and without ever seeing the final price before the transaction was completed. Turns out that price was €206.50. Getting refunded was also a pain in the ass.


€170 + 21.5% (Irish VAT rate) is €206.55. So not sure what you expected. One complain though in EU B2C companies must show prices with VAT included.


By clicking, he expected to see the full price with VAT included, as required by EU regulations, without doing the math himself.


> €170 + 21.5% (Irish VAT rate) is €206.55. So not sure what you expected.

Parent clearly stated they only saw "€170+VAT" and not €206.55, so of course they expected to see €206.55 before the purchase went through. Not sure what anyone else would expect?


Even the ex VAT price is wrong. It should always just be 206.55 - can't tease low price first ex tax.


Why would anyone complain about showing prices with taxes (VAT) included? It's deceptive otherwise.


You might not have noticed in all the frustration, but you got overcharged. 170 + 20% VAT is 204, not 206.50.

Maybe they added a card fee in at the end, but if they didn’t make that abundantly clear, they’ve broken a law in most countries which use the Euro.


VAT is not 20% everywhere worldwide.


Why 20% VAT? Different EU countries have different tax brackets, so OP might not have had 20%.


There’s a European country with a 21.470588235% tax rate? No I think GP is right and there’s a hidden 2.50 handling fee.


Lol, that's a fair point, you're probably right on that.


Probably because VAT_floor(206.5/170)=20


A bit off topic but I wanted to let you know that anthropic is currently in violation of EU Directive 98/6/EC:

> The selling price and the unit price must be indicated in an unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible manner for all products offered by traders to consumers (i.e. the final price should include value added tax and all other taxes).

I wanted to see what the annual plan would cost as it was just displaying €170+VAT, and when I clicked the upgrade button to find out (I checked everywhere on the page) then I was automatically subscribed without any confirmation and without ever seeing the final price before the transaction was completed.


You can stuff up your EU directives up your nose, like your bottle caps when you try to drink from a European bottle


The bottle caps are a joke, but how can anyone in their right mind be against transparent pricing?

You think it's acceptable that a company say the price is €170+vat and then after the transaction is complete they inform you that the actual price was €206.50?


No, not OK. In this case, the recourse in the US is simple- contact the company, and when refused a refund, cancel the charge in your credit card wit a couple of simple clicks in the app.


They don't need to sue, they'll just ban your account with no warning or explanation the moment you get on their radar.. at least that's what they did to me.


That's a pretty extraordinary claim that you should expand on.

How did they know you were using Gemini to train another model?


Love the user experience but would be surprised if a website like this would be approved for Visa Direct/Mastercard Send.


Thanks for the feedback. Right now finding a provider to facilitate transfers is the biggest challenge.


I wanted to do something similar, but ultimately went with Hugo and Astro for my projects because I wanted to host it on Cloudflare Pages. Are there any similar hosting options available for this approach?


It's amazing - sadly won't use it since shadcn/tailwindui-catalyst is tied to react.. I'd definitely pay for something like this if it used vanilla js (mainly interested in Text/Headings/Tabs/Button/Badge/etc components that wouldn't require any js, and for the ones that require js then I'd prefer vanilla or vue).


Interesting! In the future I may try to build a framework-agnostic version. HTML-only would be pretty cool. Thanks for trying it out.


Looks good, but I can't find any information about your data source(s)?


We are collecting data from multiple sources, such as reports, databases, the web, and many more.


Can you list the sources. The Yahoo api is pretty quick for some sports but I want to know where they get their data from as well.


> I had a bug that wouldn't let me login to my work OpenAI account at my new job 9 months ago.

I also cannot login on Firefox (latest version) with strict privacy settings and AdNauseam on desktop.. and a few weeks ago they broke their website on iOS v14 as well for no apparent reason (it certainly didn't make me to download their app since that require v16.1+).


Are OpenAI still limiting Whisper to 50 requests per minute (and gpt-3.5-turbo at 3/min)? If so then they don't need to undercut OpenAI but just provide unlimited requests.. it's near impossible to provide user-facing AI solutions to customers due to these limits, and it's a very bad user experience (and security risk) to force users to provide their own OpenAI API keys.

https://replicate.com/ is much better with an average 10 requests per second but would still very much prefer unlimited (where they can monitor high volume users to see if it's legitimate), or add new pricing model where e.g. 0-10k/rpm is at $0.001/sec, 10-100k/rpm is at $0.010/sec, 100k+/rpm is at $0.100/sec (pricing would of course need to be fine-tuned, just a quick example).
