I'm in Heaven. Did I die and end up in Heaven?

ARC A770 16GB thought for SIX SECONDS and solved the problem at a blistering speed of 150.53 tokens per seconds.

Qwen3 30B A3B Q8 is broken, at least for Win32 C++ programming prompts. It repeated itself four times in about an hour, thinking from scratch about the problem. Had to end it because it seemed to be stuck in a thinking loop.

I have used a couple LLMs such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc... but the way I am using them I am asking a question and then making changes to code based on the response. I guess there are fancier AI versions that can act directly upon your code. Some can even create ,run, fail and keep iterating on unit tests in the background until the unit tests pass. Maybe that is what having an AI agent means?

Does anyone have experience with the more advanced AI like I described and if so which one(s)?

I was trying out Claude.AI and ended up paying for Pro. Now I have been messing around with Claude Code the last couple weeks and it seems pretty good. It has an MCP so it can take actions. It can write unit tests and iterate on them until they work. It can run curl commands, stop/start servers, etc... There's a ton of features I have not even used yet.
