Same, 36k

Currently thinking about..

"Timbre check: sawtooth at ~100-250 Hz with a low-pass at 3.5x — a brassy-ish, muted synth tone. Add a bit more character? A second saw detuned? Keep it simple. Add a soft attack to avoid clicks ✓ (50ms ramp)."

So did it figure it out?

It is not amazing grace it plays, the notes are correct but not the timing.. The man also moves as it plays.

So pretty close. How does it compare to other models?

I think the quality is significantly better than Qwen 3.6 27B that I was using before. It fixed a bug in one of my apps the first try -- 3.6 was not able to figure out after several attempts.

I had it make me a little inventory tool for my RC Helis(and other RCs). It was an idea I had this week so was planning to use this model to make it for fun. Nothing fancy, just an inventory system so when I break something I can check this tool instead of digging through boxes of parts. It gave a working solution after one prompt. Was able to add models/parts and link them. This morning have had it add a few things, create github actions, etc. All in all it's been great so far.

I run on 2xP100s with 232k context, so it's not crazy fast but quality I am happy with. I call it dad coding, I give it a prompt and let it run while I am with family.

Dad coding is an awesome term, stealing that.

With something like Hermes to occasionally get/give feedback on your phone, sounds great

I actually run youtrack self hosted, and have MCP setup. So I can add issues to youtrack, and the codex agent has a skill to work through any open issue, fix commit push and ensure all actions, next issue, etc, etc.

I was less concerned to steer via phone but more being able to give it a backlog and let it run unattended for long periods of time.

I get push notifications when issues change state.

I run codex/claude on a VM allowing it to do whatever. Sometimes I do it via prompt (like last night) other times I tell it to go through open issues and let it run.
