@donburnside I basically live in the GitHub Copilot CLI interface with it mostly set to Claude Opus 4.6, sometimes Claude Sonnet 4.6. I can choose my models and those are usually my choices (for code). And I'm provided with an all-you-can-eat AI buffet. Use as much as you want, as often as you want.
@donburnside I cheap out for my personal use. It's the Gemini CLI with a lightweight Pro subscription, using the plan mode for most features.

@donburnside Thanks! Yes, as someone that uses AI (Copilot specifically) daily for 6+ hours a day doing software development, the changes in the last year have been crazy. I use Gemini for my personal projects so I'm exposed to different LLMs.

Gemini emitted a basic, sterile, scientific graph for my original request (I assumed it would), then my request to decorate the graph for social posting emitted this. So two iterations.

It's baseball season. I asked Gemini to create a graph showing the most complete games pitched by pitcher and decade. Here's what it gave me.

@Dienstag Thanks. He's been an outside friend of the family for quite a few years now. Sort of a garden buddy. And knows when it gets cold that I'll have a warm place waiting for him.

Temps in the teens with lows in the single digits tonight. Set up the outside cat that's adopted me with a heated cardboard hole in the garage. Fed. Watered. Purring.
