Seems somewhat claude-like. Anyone else try it out yet? Think it’s Gemini 3

Let’s collect how to steer it! ony one task no decisions(?) Edit: The more I use it, the more small model smell - it’s quite dumb (or shall we say specialized?), actually. Feels a bit like small sister of gpt5 auto on world knowledge. Could nevertheless be useful.

Cheetah got nerf? its look so slow now

Honestly - I’m impressed (takes a lot) - it just oneshotted an feature that Claude 4.5 has been thrashing around with for 2 days now for a total of $2.87. Assuming this doesnt get nerfed and assuming it performs well this looks to be great. This was a fairly self-contained task, so I have not test…

[image] Actually this is useless if you use any kind of MCP tooling like Playwright, it gets bogged down in its own context limitations and then just loops through summarising and ultimately becomes the victim of replicative fading making it useless after a couple of rounds in the converation

Are we sure it is safe to use though? my concern is might be something like deepseek

Yep, China will invade US with your sloppy vibe code.

Cheetah is too expensive to use, even considering its speed. It can only be used for quick searches, but Grok Code Fast 1 performs this task at a similar speed and is significantly more affordable.

Its incredible fast and good at the same time. It nails complex tasks pretty good.

Personally, I won’t use a model that I don’t know where it came from.

In your practice, what tasks does this model serve best?

I have yet to try it, being pedantic is stopping me from just giving these things a shot.
