> But if I'm doing REAL work, that isnt tinkering for fun on a side project
Sorry, but this is either dilettante talk or an unhinged exaggeration - Qwen, DS, GLM and MM are perfectly fine for REAL work, unless you are an overly ambitious vibe coder, but then no model can save you. The Cl hand-holding may feel like something but it won't lead to the completion of real REAL work.
Honestly I feel like most people going "oh but I can't do this without Claude" are just suffering from FOMO. Especially since a lot of metrics are just subjective, you feel like you "have" to use the "best of the best glub shitto v5" model or else you won't be able to produce the best todo app.

I suspect that's because they're working on projects that are several orders of magnitude more complex and demanding than a "todo app".
It is a very human trait to believe/feel "what I do is special so general rules do not apply". The bias is very strong.
The same way people have opinions on things like for example wines without actually being able to discern them in a blind test.
We humans want to think we can have strong, well founded opinions even when we cannot.

Things are changing so fast that it's easy to let just a little bit of time slip by and think that smaller models are still unreliable.
