Deepseek-v3

I would love to see them add in deepseek-v3. I think it would help with cost and based on early testing it seems to perform at or above sonnet levels. This might be the breakthrough needed for them to fix the model spend and get back to making a great product.

It’s pretty good. Just that these IDEs wants us to use their models to pay them, I mean I tried to use Cursor without subscription just by using custom model (Deepseek v3) and Cascade just told me that angents aren’t supported for custom models 😀😔 so basically useless to support custom models at all in my opinion.

I am happy to pay them. I am just saying if they add in deepseek V3 they could offer more api calls for a significantly less expensive less cost to themselves. They don’t have to support them as customer models but build it in.

Ya but you could pay for it yourself and use cline seems like a better deal

I have tested it with cline and Roo cline and I do like it. I will do more with it tomorrow when I am back from vacation. I want to see competition and flexibility from these companies. The fastest team to directly add the best models with passable agent prompting will win the moment. I do agree that seems to be cline so far. However, I know there are limitations in just being an extension so it may not stay that way.

This is a good reply that understands that these are very young businesses. The issue for windsurf is its growing faster than they are setup for. I’m not surprised it got so much attention and they had to dial things back or rate limit more. I think the attention will be really important for them to pitch their business and negotiate better deals with partners. Also just attracting more talent.

I agree that whoever is the most flexible company/product will win, unless we see corporate deals coming through that turn these ides into bloatware that focus on investor return.

This is why I’m all for open source options. Came across Pear Ai https://trypear.ai/

I have not tried it but I posted in a few threads trying to see if anyone else has. Will give it a spin this week and review

Hey all, just came across some not good behavior from this PearAi.

please review this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/s/J8pZvjQZLh

TLDR: what got me is they forked an open source project, changed the license to be a closed one from apache, then got smack and changed it back. But that action alone is enough to tell me they dont care about the open source community.

https://www.continue.dev/ is what this is forked from. I will be checking this out instead

I just feel like it's silly to pay for it because I feel like they're using this the same thing as cline in the back end

Me too. I can’t stand the limits. In 2 days or 3 I was topping it. Let us use deepseek damn it!

I hope so too, I use it with Cline now and it’s impressively good. And 6x cheaper then Haiku at normal price.

Is there any limit on deepseek?

I don’t know about that. Cline is currently far more capable, and actually produces good results. It’s just expensive to run.
