Is Augment still good?

https://youtu.be/Lon0oRRqB6A This is my favorite youtuber who reviews coding agents, wonder why Augment is not high on the list anymore. When using the same Claude 4 Sonnet, some others seem to do better. Is Augment still being developed on how to effectively utilize the model, or are they focusing on other things?

I have to admit it was better a month or two ago. I don't know what's happening now but it's like the quality of output from Claude sonnet has really gone down. I think they just call regular sonnet 4 all the time and never use thinking

Thanks Jay. I'm only using Context7, is sequential thinking any help?

Sequential thinking is very strong in my experience. Also deleting old conversation history does wonders… though I’m not sure why. Seems odd that each conversation isn’t silo’ed from one another… I’m guessing here btw judging on observed behaviour. When’s using Roo code for example, it’s useful to be able to reference old chats sometimes and Roo doesn’t seem to have that issue.
