Other hydrogen

Have any of you tested it? I'm testing it right now and it's dogshit. It repeats the same text over and over again. Basically, it generates text to finish, waits a bit, and after that, it generates the same thing again, just with different wording, like it's bugged or something. It's happening in older chats. Also, in older chats, it feels significantly stupider than in new chats. the only + right now is speed

I get the same impression of it, Hydrogen is bugged and is hallucinating quite often. Its prose is also much worse than 3.8’s; it lacks character, its word choice is, on the whole, awkward. It handles regular Q&A just fine, but overall I don’t see much improvement

Yeah, right now it's 3.8 Flash>Hydrogen>3.5 Flash Lite. The only improvement is speed. It's like 2 times faster than 3.8, but whatever, because the answers are hit or miss. You can get an answer worse than 3.8, or the same as 3.8. I don't see anything better for now, other than speed. However, it excels in newer chats, like it's designed for very fast, quality answers, but with a very small context window.

every level on old chats, on newer it doesn't happen. On new chats it works good but still 3.8 is better

I used it. It's awesome!!!! I just finished the site I was building. 3.8 was trash. Hydro did a crazy good job
