I switched to oh-my-py and never looked back. I guess having an incentive to maximize (expensive) token usage, and LLMs degrading with higher context, isn't aligned with a user's best interest.

Oh-my-py unlocks max capabilities at the smartest token usage, and you can change AI company and providers while still getting things done. Roles, advisor, and the ability to use Chinese models on international providers with no training and ZDR behind OpenRouter are very powerful. You can have providers and model companies competing on price, intelligence, and speed for something that's useful but with less and less moat as model progress plateaus.

I now use GLM 5.3 for slow/planning, GLM 5.3 Flash as the default task-vision model, and DeepSeek Flash 4.1 as the advisor. Providers are ordered by cheapest at the minimum TPS I want for that model. I use it not only for coding but also as a personal assistant. I can ask it things and it gets them done automatically, like opening an issue on a repo, then having another agent ship the code, run the tests, and update master after having changed the app to autoupdate on cut release.

I can also ask it to do groceries. I use Bitwarden machine secrets and a limited virtual card connected to my phone.Something else that's very powerful is asking it to launch parallel agents to do things you know don't overlap too much.

The amount of agency we're gifted with is crazy, you can now move hundreds of hours of work with one hour of input using an open-source harness and open-weight models. I can't wait for more competitors in the chip space, and to be able to buy models etched on silicon for even higher agency, speed, and independence.
