Ask HN: Which AI do you think is the best, and tell me why?

Personally for me it's Deepseek, he's very smart in coding and always helps me with various tasks and sometimes gives me brilliant ideas.

I dont particularly care for the cloud options: If I were to rank. Gemini 2.5 pro > claude 3.5 sonnet > o3. I look forward to testing gpt5.

Devstral is still #1 for me. Easily 80k context, high accuracy setup. Matched with openhand's context management it works so well.

GPT-OSS-20b definitely the best quality coder I have but this harmony stuff and it fails to call tools often and it's almost always due to <|channel>. Often it catches itself, then continues, but then your context melts. For whatever reason as well, 31,000 context is max i can load? If I put it through my pygame test, it 1shots basically every time.

Qwen3 coder 30b in qwen code would fail at tool calls like 90% of the time. Testing out the unsloth version with 60k context, it still has 2gb of vram free. Tons of speed; but it's making bonehead moves.

line 99 Game stopped by user. ^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I gave it this syntax error. It has now edited the file and duplicated the code, placing the full game under the except. There's now 2x everything; and the 2nd instance is at the wrong indentation.

    import time

│ Error: No changes to apply. The old_string and new_string are identical. │

I see the issue now. The file has been corrupted with duplicate content and incorrect structure. Let me rewrite it properly:

lol... only yourself to blame. It has finally gotten a working game. Though still not a complete solution.

Finally we have a complete solution.
