My initial results with Hydrogen and Carbon are disappointing.

They are trading improvements on pass@1 pointless benchmarks for worse disasters at p90/99 that you're going to hit every week in agentic workflows (if not daily).

Google doesn't seem to be the only lab making this trade...

No one on HN seems to get that agentic workflows are not the only name in the game. Everyone doing agentic development is either on a plan or with a custom enterprise offering, either way using higher-performing models. These entry level models are for building apps on top of while you are paying API prices.
