Unfortunately for me, the models on Cerebras weren’t as good as Claude Code. Speedy but I needed to iterate more. Codex is trustworthy and slow. Claude is better at iterating. But none of the Cerebras models at the $50 tier were worth anything for me. They would have been something if they’d just come out but we have these alternatives now.
I don't care. I want LLMs to help with the boring stuff, the toil. It may not be as intelligent as Claude, but if it takes care of the boring stuff, and it is fast while doing it, I am happy.
Use it surgically, do the top-down design, and just let it fill the blanks.
Give it a crack. It took a lot of iteration for it to write decent code. If you figure out differences in prompting technique, do share. I was really hoping for the speed to improve a lot of execution - because that’s genuinely the primary problem for me. Unfortunately, speed is great but quality wasn’t great for me.
Good luck. Maybe it’ll do well in some self-directed agent loop.
