What is it equivalent to?

What kind of things are you using it for?

I haven't tested it yet but on all the benchmarks it looks like it's 5-7x slower for agentic tasks.

I made some webapps with it, and have it running my hermes agent (which also does a lot of coding, but not webapps).

Not sure what it's equivalent to, but it's super cheap and I am happy with the results

It's a mix of slightly worse kimi k3 for UI work and slightly smarter than luna for everything else.

But yeah, it's very slow. I've put it to work as an LLM-as-RAG agent.

I was wondering that, when DeepSeek became so cheap a while back, if it would be suitable as a superior embedding model.

Although, RAG means search and search means latency?
