Photon Designer update — adding the new, best LLM in the world

I’ve just released updates for Photon Designer to use the new Anthropic LLM — Sonnet 3.5 (released last week).

I’ve used this model a lot last week. It’s much better for generating code and writing than GPT4o in my anecdotal experience.

My custom version of Sonnet 3.5 is now included for all pro users in Photon Designer to generate UI with 🎨🎉

⏱️ P.S - Limited-Time Offer: Want to work with me?

I just wrapped up a great project with a VC-backed startup in London, and I've got a 10-week window until I start a new project.

So, tell me if you’d like me to work with you on something! I’m keen to build fast and crush bugs. I’m also happy to be flexible on my usual rate to make it work for you.
