My review is, it is definitely Chinese.&#xA;&#xA;I don&#39;t mean any CCCP related stuff. I mean in the way that no matter what the specs on the boxes say, the Chinese thing is just never as nice as the American or European one. You can&#39;t point to any specific problem unless you zoom way in, but you just can&#39;t miss the quality difference device in hand.&#xA;&#xA;Tests say R1 is better, but my experience is that Claude 3.5 Sonnet gets me a working answer in fewer prompts consistently. I&#39;ll be switching back to Claude as my first choice.&#xA;&#xA;I use it mainly for tech and dev related things, so your experience may very.&#xA;&#xA;One neat trick I learned from this experience. I&#39;m using these models through nostr:nprofile1qqsrgyzdaheuckfksqkgxz9r6qys72zh6j46f69hyzkv4a4j4vzfj6gpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9ul0q43l so I can hit a drop down and change models mid conversation. Then I prompt &#34;please review the conversation history and tell me what the previous LLM is getting wrong that this isn&#39;t working&#34;&#xA;&#xA;HTH HAND.</html></oembed>
