The major problem with Claude 3.5 is you can't have conversation with a large amount of text because you will constantly hit rate limits and it's very annoying.
This model with a 2 million context window is probably the best model right now for programming.
I don't know if I'm just getting used to the claude style of response, or the orangy UI that I kind of find cozy, but I think we need better ways to convey the difference between models.
Yeah it is strangle cozy. I also can't disassociate claude from jean claude van damme and it make giggle thinking he is helping me code.
Google Studio with it's 2M context window + this experimental version could be a good replacement.
1.5 Pro-002 came out a couple months ago.
2 million for gemini-exp-1206 32k for the other experimental gemini. I think gemini-exp-1121
