maybe you just aren't very good at prompting and need the highest level of intelligence possible to kind of make it work?

for myself anything over medium overthinks and is worse.

Oh, fuck off. For one, I work in an LLM startup and work on the harness for our own models, and we're 8-digit profitable, so I'd say I know a thing or two about prompting. For two, there is no prompt that makes Luna work. It ignores your fucking prompt. The OP related how Cursor has a quotation mark tic and blatantly ignored a single constraint not to use quotation marks. Luna also has the same deficiency. You can give it a single paragraph prompt with a single sentence constraint not to do X and it will do X every time if it's in the average path for the prompt.

well, i and many other people have been able to make luna work. heck, people make a 27b model work locally. so if you can't manage that, and you're working on something like a harness, what else could it be?

Why are you apologizing?

Your comment could be misread as rude by an insecure ("8 digit") person who read that as a challenge to their intelligence and skills, however the reply they gave to your comment is the very defition of rude.

Yes, but then you’re saying Sol Max isn’t good enough. Sol is very capable.

Also, unless I’m overlooking something, you’re spending time within non-codex models, so you’re not going to get the results you’re looking for.
