Everyone posts day-one impressions. What's still in your stack a month later?

Day one threads are the least useful thing we produce here and we produce a lot of them. Model drops, forty people run their favourite prompt, half say it's the best thing ever and half say benchmaxxed, and none of that survives contact with two weeks of real work. So: what did you install in the last month or two that's still in the rotation, and what quietly got uninstalled? I'll go first. Still here: Qwen3.6 27B for anything that has to actually know something. Ling-3.0-flash sitting in the executor slot of my agent setup, which surprised me because I only put it there expecting to watch it fail and it hasn't yet, and officially confirmed open source soon (now is free on open router). Gone: two things I was very excited about on day one, which I'm not naming because I don't want that argument in this thread. What I'd like to hear is the boring version. Not "X is amazing", but "X is still doing Y for me on Z and I've stopped thinking about it". A model you've stopped thinking about is the highest praise available. Also interested in the reverse. Stuff that got worse for you over time, or that you kept using out of inertia and then finally dropped. That never shows up in the day one threads either submitted by /u/derspenti [link] [comments]
