In my experience, Phind is not as good as GPT4, but it's by far the second best LLM for programming. I find that tremendously impressive considering they are competing against the whole world for that title right now.
I agree with the assessment about consistency being its major flaw. While with GPT4 I can continue a conversation for quite long, Phind easily looses the required context. Perhaps it has to do with summarization capabilities, or messing with the context window has these types of side effects.
Have you tried clicking the model selection dropdown and enabling "Ignore web results"? That can help with keeping context for complicated design tasks.
