It's really interesting to see the Sol/Terra/Luna apps side-by-side.
I need to add these stats somewhere in the UI, but one interesting take away: Terra took 1/2 as much wall-clock time as Sol, but Luna took more wall-clock time than Sol (by about 23%). It's still much much cheaper, but it seems like Terra is likely a more optimal time/cost balance for most use cases.
The Terra quality is usually nearly as good as Sol, but much faster and cheaper. I do appreciate Sol's design sensibilities (see, for example, the audio sequencer). It's the first model in a while that is clearly distinct on that front. They'd all converged to very similar visuals for a while.

Actually, you are doing rational investigation in a fuzzy probabilistic new/emergent space, with open sharing to the world. I don’t understand why people downplay themselves and put on a pedestal others supposedly serious sciences.Look at the top comment on their previous HN submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48839886
also the article itself is clearly LLM generated though
How much does Grok 4.5 cost on TryAI?
Grok 4.5 is Input: $0.02 / 1M tokens, Output: $0.06 / 1M tokens. There is no subscription — you pay only for what you use.My opinion is that two gimmicky "one-shot prompting shootout" marketing pieces in two days smells like desperation. I'm not sure you understand what a turnoff this is for potential customers.

Currently Fable and 5.6 are neck and neck on web dev which is basically the same finding as this.
> so their tok/s is a ceiling, not a true decode rate. The clear read: the GPT-5.6 tiers are the snappiest models here on short prompts (Luna answers in about a second), Qwen is absurdly cheap and fast, and DeepSeek and GLM are the slowpokes
You put in a lot of good work, and kudos for that, but man, reading paragraphs like these just puts me off of the entire piece.
Like…how hard would it have been really to type these two sentences by hand, in your own natural voice?
Given that type of reaction is inevitable, it just saves the conversation.
