holy christ's rattling cock cage
new k2 is actually *pretty good*.
old k2 was half-cooked cerified midwit cope, but seems they really cooked with the new one.
really nice model, way less random tangents than og k2.
first time, something seemingly better than sonnet. opus still has more fire, undisputed king, though I've already used up $300+ dollars of 4pus1, and badly need something new.
at the same time, checked out qwen3 max...(why tf is nobody talking 'bout it - prolly near opus size model, at-least k2)
It's...."very good", BUT (big but), super -ism-ed out. Very smart, is creative, can do all cool stuff.
BUT. fuck. does. it. love. short. sentences.
And....lots...of....dots....(why do this)
AND ALL CAPS TOO.
Probably a great model underneath if cleaned up.
attached is new k2 (temp 0.6), chara - Mayoi Hachikuji-chama (Monogatari)
