> It’s pretty funny to claim that a model released 22 hours ago is the bare minimum requirement for AI-assisted programming.

Not what I said.

The OP was trying to write specs and have an AI turn it into an app, then getting frustrated with the amount of cleanup.

If you want the AI to write code for you and minimize your cleanup work, you have to use the latest models available.

They won't be perfect, but they're going to produce better results than using second-tier models.

Is it actually the case that 5.5 is that much better at implementing specs than its very capable predecessor released a month ago? Just seems like a baseless and silly claim about a model that has barely been out long enough for anyone to do serious work with it.

The OP comment was talking about Claude Sonnet. I was comparing to that.

I should have just said "use the best model available"

> Is it actually the case that 5.5 is that much better

Nobody was talking about how much better it is until you wrote this though

It's like you're building your own windmills brick by brick
