AI writing has now become boring; large language models no longer write real prose because they have been trained too strictly not to make mistakes and to use the right tools. However, they have now lost their human character. I am tired of seeing AI-written text everywhere, which in fact has such a distinct tone that I instantly understand if it is from Claude or ChatGPT. The only AI I know that writes more humanly now, I think, is DeepSeek and Grok, but to a lesser extent, and Gemini is relatively good, but it too has become robotic.
Yes i agree with you many times i feel that time make more work than before and spending more budget. I don't know if is the correct place to say that that is an extension called the Ceres copilot for vscode that wont make loops and don't burns apis, this is what i use now with deep seek connected.. put when there is a complicated job am still stuck with codex...
Ceres copilot is a lightweight AI real UI for llms inside IDE... not autonomous (like Copilot or Claude Code) that constantly making API requests, blindly searching my workspace, and bloating token usage and not leaving on a separate window.
Instead of letting an AI "agent" try to be clever by autonomously searching through your terminal or files.... which really just burns through your budget and limits - Ceres copilot gives you explicit context control back inside your favorite IDE. I'm on VS Code right now but I will make that for almost all IDEs..
Technical Focus:
* Local & Budget First: Built for free and private local setups with (Ollama, Llama.cpp) or your choice AI provider.
* Lightweight Design:
No background tasks... just: Send context - stream - insert, then continue, if you want your IDE back then this is for you.
Perfect for budget and local APIs that will hallucinate inside an autonomous platform.
I'm solo and I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach to context management.
What do you think? Are you still trying to run your budget LLM through open code / claude code or would you want a more direct tool inside your environment?.....
