as an overpowered stack overflow machine this is quite good and a huge jump. As a prompt to code generator with yolo mode (the one advertised by those companies) it is alternating between good to trash and every single person that works away from the distribution of the SFT dataset can know this. I understand that this dataset is huge tho and I can see the value in it. I just think in the long term it brings more negatives.

If you vibecode CRUD APIs and react/shadcn UIs then I understand it might look amazing.

Yes, definitely CRUDs but also iPhone applications, highly performant financial software (its kdb queries are better than 95% of humans), database structure and querying and embedded systems are other things it’s surprisingly good at. When you take all of those into account there’s very little else left.
