The term that Anthropic is now using is "mannered prose". If the creator of this example simply prompted "Remove all mannered prose" then the entire experiment would suddenly become normal sounding. In the fable 5.1 prom

This post isn't convincing me. I spent so much time meticulously organizing my techno box. I bought a back of the door shoe holder for tech. Every wire, charger, usb key, web cam, airline earbud, everything. It's been beautifully

On cost per intelligence task, Gemini38flash and Sol56 trade back and forth on cost depending on effort level. https://i.imgur.com/zPaWPXx.png As seen in this image, literally: Sol56 high ranks in between Gemini 38 medium a

I'm sorry, but just because you achieve results you consider acceptable with this method doesn't mean everyone does. I don't work where we can ship slop. I don't work where PRs can be merged based on what the agents say.

It's not free. You're paying electricity and you're ignoring the cost of the hardware. Even on electricity alone, there are cloud providers who may beat your laptop on price per million tokens. Qwen 3.8 flash is interesting i

Sonnet 5 is the worst model of 2026. Literally just turn effort slider down on Opus, it's smarter, faster and cheaper than whatever Sonnet is. Beyond that, I find this whole plan and build thing to be a pointless waste of tokens. If yo

Those prices are just tokens? Since each model uses different amounts of tokens to do the same thing, it's a misleading price that often makes open-weights look more competitive than they are, since most open weights models use dramati

I absolutely experienced this in college. I signed up as a computer science student, as one does. I took all of the freshmen classes across broad topics, and the first biology class was basically just like the article describes. Words and m

I append this to many of my opus claude code prompts `You may use a Fable subagent to answer questions, solve problems, and provide an adversarial review of your ideas and code` You can use a similar pattern in most any harness, and you can

It's pretty easy for the US to functionally ban chinese models. They only have to target US firms like inference providers or the biggest users, and pretty much the whole domestic market will fall into line. They don't actually ca

I totally agree - designing a competent AI agent with a fully customized harness to successfully pull off this task is a much more challenging engineering effort than merely creating an ordinary computer program. Had OP made chatgpt write a

What a sloppy reply. You've hijacked a thread on mathematics first to complain that your incompetent attempt to use ChatGPT to find a job failed, but it seems now that this was a ruse to instead begin arguments unrelated to the article

A business does need a small number of their most senior engineers doing high altitude work that can, at times, include helping sales estimate new features. But in my experience, it's not rocket science and a good product team can do t

I think you're confusing product and engineering. I get that programmers are smart so we just assume we can do every job, but it's a waste of your time and salary to talk extensively to customers and create product requirements. L

Scenario one: you use software to connect to their server and download a webpage. You are a user. Scenario two: you use software to connect to their server and download a webpage. You are a "bot". Make it make sense

GPT5.6Sol completes the suite in 70M tokens, while Qwen3.8Max needs like 145M tokens. So this is a case where models like Qwen 3.8 and Kimi K3 use a lot more output (reasoning) tokens, go a good bit slower, so they can ultimately achieve a

While I agree with the premise that there are Thinkers and Shippers, I reject labeling of tinkerers and entrepreneurial. There's nothing entrepreneurial about working for a big business and shipping cool things. But you're ultimat

There is already something on HuggingFace at the level of Mythos. It's called Kimi K3 and it's running laps around Opus5, Fable5, and Sol56 at cybersecurity. It's so good that the US government is rushing to ban all Chinese m

I don't think the invention of writing is as awe-inspiring as presented or as difficult/impossible for an LLM to achieve as is commonly believed. The invention of writing was a long series of micro-improvements over common every d

Zen is nice, but they require US hosting so they don't get new Chinese models right away. There is no Kimi K3. Go is nice for the ten minutes you can use it until your hit your cap.

No, and the reason is simple: Usage is bursty and if you don't maximize usage of the hardware you're going to lose on price. Ok you can host this model once. What if I want a dozen subagents? Ok you can host it 12 times at once. W

Totally disagree that the value of a project is it's durability. The value of the project is almost entirely disconnected from durability. Value is simply the ability to solve a problem for you. I'll use a bad screwdriver before I

See, this is part of the confusion. There is no such thing as "GPT-5.5-codex". The last codex-branded model was "GPT-5.3-codex". Starting with "GPT-5.4" the main model handles agentic engineering and they did n

What a weird thing to suggest. This model is worse than some Chinese models from last year, which were already worse than frontier models from last year. This looks like a worse Deepseek V4 pro. Costs more, dumber, slower and more verbose t
