I can't wait for Haiku 4.6 ! the 4.5 is a beast for the right projects.

It's also good as an @explore sub-agent that greps the directory for files.

I also use Haiku daily and it's OK. One app is trading simulation algorithm in TypeScript (it implemented bayesian optimisation for me, optimised algorithm to use worker threads). Another one is CRUD app (NextJS, now switched to Vue).

Are you saying Haiku is better than Sonnet for some coding use? I've used Sonnet 4.5 for python and basic web development (pure JS, CCS & HTML) and had assumed Haiku wouldn't be very good for coding.

I'm saying Haiku isn't that bad, it's good enough for my needs, and it's the cheapest one. Maybe it's because I'm giving it small, well defined tasks.

I'm using Sonnet with a free account.

For Go code I had almost no issue. PHP too. apparently for React it's not very good.
