I use A LOT both openAI and Anthropic products. When I need some frontend work (pure web dev) (or answer that feel less verbose and more to the point) I use Anthropic. For multimodality openAI feels better (understanding audio, screenshots, generating images, etc). But openAI… 17 r/LocalLLaMA community 10d ago Time to finally migrate from LM Studio -> llama.cpp, your experience? Has anyone moved from LM Studio to llama.cpp? What was your experience like?
