LLM

A 6,000-run support agent costs $9.52 to $150.62 a month in API fees. I priced 5 LLMs across 67 routes and separated the three levers that matter.

AI decision models answer typed questions in milliseconds for a fraction of LLM cost. Where Clef-Flash shines, where it fails, plus a live demo.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 review: I tested it against Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5 on a web design and a Go chess engine. Real costs, results, and who should use it.

I used Claude Fable 5.1 to build an image codec that beats WebP and a full agency-grade site. Here's what changed from Fable 5, and what it cost.

I gave the models I actually use the same four design briefs and published every result. There's no single best LLM for frontend design, and here's why.

Qwen3.8-27B runs on consumer hardware under Apache 2.0. I tested it on a 24GB M4 — here's the real RAM, speed and privacy picture, minus the hype.

I ran Alibaba's new 2.4T Qwen3.8-Max-Preview through 4 real coding tests. Results rival Fable 5 and Grok 4.5 — with one big catch: speed.

I ran Grok 4.5 through my usual coding tests — website builds, a Go poker sim, a site audit. It's fast, cheap, and it found a bug no other model caught.

I tested Microsoft's MAI-Code-1-Flash coding model on real projects. Fast and cheap, yes, but here's why I won't be switching from Kimi K2.7 Code.
