You should write agents if you want to learn how agents work, if the problem you are trying to solve is not solved yet or if you are convinced that you will do much better job solving the problem again. Otherwise is just reinventing the wheel.
You know how sometimes when you send a prompt to Claude, you just know it’s gonna take a while, so you go grab a coffee, come back, and it’s still working? With Cerebras it’s not even worth switching tabs, because it’ll finish the same task in like three seconds.
Cerebras offers a $50/mo and $200/mo "Cerebras Code" subscription for token limits way above what you could get for the same price in PAYG API credits. https://www.cerebras.ai/code
Up until recently, this plan only offered Qwen3-Coder-480B, which was decent for the price and speed you got tokens at, but doesn't hold a candle to GLM 4.6.
So while they're not the cheapest PAYG GLM 4.6 provider, they are the fastest, and if you make heavy use their monthly subscription plan, then they're also the cheapest per token.
Note: I am neither affiliated with nor sponsored by Cerebras, I'm just a huge nerd who loves their commercial offerings so much that I can't help but gush about them.
This isn't to dispute your assertion, but I think things are still quite a bit different. A lot of things provided by Foundation on macOS are still not available in Linux's Foundation, nor CoreFoundation, so one has to defer to something like Glibc — which, then again, is not available to the static Linux distro. On Windows, it's useful to use WinSDK to do things that Foundation would normally do.
There's all sorts of little things that Swift on non-Apple platforms just don't have yet. Little footguns because the Swift rewrite of Foundation isn't quite equivalent yet.
It is getting close though, which was my point. Honestly I got bit recently by DateComponentFormatter that does not exists on Linux, but it’s been a while since I’ve had things like that. We even have (NS)AttributedStrings (including the NS version, which I did not expect…). Of course no fonts and co, but that’s AppKit/UIKit/SwiftUI, so it’s normal.
I know how to use MS Office. All my colleagues know how to use MS Office. People want to solve their daily problems, not learn how to use new software.
The company that is responsible for filling the Internet with junk is just going to help fill the Internet with even junk crap. Who would have thought about that?
