• are you using a frontier model (anthropic/openai etc) ?
• does Pi produce better results/lower usage than claude/open code?
• a lot of pi's functionality is tied to the models intelligence. how well does it work with cheaper llms, eg chinese/open source, and local llm's?

switching from expensive cloud plans to a somewhat affordable local llm setup (eg with 16gb vram, I dont mean $4k gpu's) is something a lot of people want to do. with occasional use of a frontier llm of course, they can't be replaced totally yet. Has anyone done this, and does Pi help in this?

I asked qwen 3.6 27b for best coding models for a 5060ti and asked it to think about nvfp4 etc.

i got back this reply in thinking -

"Analyze User Request: Hardware: Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (Note: As of my knowledge cutoff in 2024, the RTX 50 series hasn't been released yet. "

it also didn't know about TurboQuant, nvfp4 etc.

is this expected?

this is a pet peeve and you can see it in the countless blog posts/videos on claude code, opencode as well, claiming how it can X,Y,Z and then you see they are using Opus or gpt-5.4 on xhigh for everything. and its the same for all the Pi ones as well. Of course the frontier models do a great job, thats why they are frontier!

Sure the harness matters, the llm matters just as much if not more. saying things like 'just ask pi to build it for you' surely depends on what model it uses to do that.

I'd like to see what a low cost/free setup using Pi can accomplish vs the similar vs other harnesses (all of which are free too, if not open source). I understand Pi is by design much more hackable.

Looking to buy an Nvidia 5060Ti 16gb gpu (dual fan prefered)

please let me know if you have one, thanks!

I'm looking for a Nvidia 5060Ti 16gb.
(prefer dual fan, don't need rgb etc)

this is going to be mostly for encoding, local llm use.

please pm if you have one, thanks

arent those the same tests that failed to catch the segfaults and mem leaks that forced the rewrite in the first place?

its a line by line translation so as long as that is faithful, it will have all the original bugs, as wel as many more since unsafe in Rust is actually much more unsafe than a bad pointer in zig.

but yeah it will pass the test cases, and so its LGTM I guess....

Looking for a 5060 8gb (or 16gb version depending on price)
Dual fan only as I don't think my case will fit the bigger ones.
don't need bells/whistles like rgb etc.

assuming all other factors being equal - like emergency fund, age, retirement withdrawal, risk tolerance, type of account etc.

I assume the answer is yes? that would be the whole point of a single passive indexing strategy that reduces variability.

does everyone here follow a simple strategy?

so next question is within this framework there could be hundreds of ways to make a 3/4/5 fund portfolio, is there any data on what people choose, historical performance etc.

I currently have following positions:

obviously this is not ideal this is just what I've had for a long time since I didn't know any better.

• what are the biggest problems here. I see some duplicate holdings and a large amount of cash which is bad, and too many individual holdings
• what would you advise I do with these, sell off and buy 2-3 of the recommended funds?
• what are the current best recommendations, assuming medium risk and also wanting growth
• should dividend earning funds be put in a taxable account instead?

I've started watching this show, its got a great cast and a funny premise, but some of the characters have started to grate. I know its written that way to create conflict and drama, but its really too much.

Its the same obnoxious characters who keep making stupid decisions to advance the plot.

like Rani, Gabby, Myrna, Greg are all cliched stereotypes with absolutely no originality. I mean how many times do we have to see the rich influencer treat others like shit, or holier than thou hypocrite Myrna?

Ironically they use Christopher Walken the least.
