Posted - May 17 2026 : 06:41:50 AM I gave it a first try today. I selected a 100-line function (part of a JSON parser) and asked it to flag any problematic code and annotate it inline. It took 2.5 minutes to come back with a single finding: that NULL should be replaced with nullptr. For comparison, I pasted the same code into the Claude chat window (via Mammouth), and within 2�3 seconds I had a well-structured list of 5 issues ranging from minor to serious, clearly explained and neatly presented. Problem 1: The performance is unacceptable. Problem 2: The quality of VA's AI is nowhere near that of an external AI. The supposed benefit of a seamless, integrated workflow doesn't hold up if the underlying results are this far behind and take this much time. Am I expecting too much from VA's built-in AI, or is this a known limitation? Would it make sense, if in addition to the local model an interface to some user defined external LLM would be provided (for people who don't care about locality)?
