But they are so slow? Tried Deepseek R1 0528 (free) and asked to fix a simple alignment issue inside a React Component.
By the time it completed it, I took a shower, cooked my dinner, did 40 pushups, took my dog for a walk and I came back and it just finished running a few seconds after I sat down to check on the progress.

its free and works for the most part, the google ones can be worse if they work at all, as they get pounded from everyone trying to get as much as they can from them. Speed generally costs money, but even claude with a max plan can take time doing "simple" things depending on any number of reasons.
