Ask HN: Which model is best for pair-programming?

1•bridgettegraham•47m ago
I draw a huge amount of joy by working WITH my AI agents as opposed to them doing everything autonomously. However all the SOTA models seem to be actively doing the opposite: hide what they are busy with and take everything to completion with as litle interaction with a human as possible. Which models do you guys think are the best for pair-programming? And is there a way to change this behavior of the SOTA models, or are they just fundamentally designed to be like that?

I think this has more to do with the harness than the model.

You mean like the app that "controls" or "directs" it? The thing that executes the tools, etc?
