I subscribed to Kagi Ultimate but I feel I’m underutilizing it’s functionality. What are some use cases you would encourage me to try with the models? What are some key takeaways with Ultimate you discovered in your testing?

Claude 3 Opus has the most knowledge encoded in it from my experience, so I use that when I am using the non web search models. I also find that I don't often need the most recent information for the work that I do, so I don't often use the search enabled one. If I use the expert assistant, I usually just provide it an exact URL of a long document that I want to ask questions about.

I think they are particularly useful when you know what you want with particular nuances, and it would not be easy or possible to find that specific information in a web search. For example, I recently used LLMs to help me write a configuration for my RAID. I knew I wanted mirror+stripe, and I wanted to mount the RAID at /data, and mount my home directory at /data/home. I explained this to the language model, and it essentially built me a script to do that.

I could have looked at the manuals for how to use mdadm and edit /etc/fstab, but writing down exactly what I want in plain English and then doing what the language model spits out was easier and faster for me.
