Not Worth the Squeeze; Picking a Neural Net

I keep hearing arguments everywhere: should you pick this one, it writes code better, or that one, worse — or hey, why not just build your own?! Then compare the metrics: “whoa, mine beats the out-of-the-box ones from other providers by 3% on benchmarks!! I’m so cool..”

If you’re curious what I’m talking about, take a look at this benchmark for example¹.

Talking about what to pick costs more than just doing it. Buy Claude and start using it, instead of spending days figuring out what’s best. You won’t get it until you try it. Good thing they’ve got a $20 plan.
