I like #Claude, but the lowest-cost model, #Haiku, is mostly worthless. I was talking about power supplies for a product, and it told me I get get more *power* out of a North American outlet because 20A breakers are common here, whereas in Europe and Asia 16A are more common.
I save on tokens using Haiku, but I end up spending more because the output is worse than #Gemini Flash-Lite, #llama3, or #Phi4. Haiku *may* be better at #RAG; I'm not sure, but it doesn't make up for the #LLM being bad.
