This whole thing is an absolute disaster honestly, and yes it is being downplayed and hand-waved away. Since March, so many people have mocked Anthropic for their approach to Mythos release, claimed it was all marketing, accused them of hol

I can't speak for others but I have a feeling you're in the very small minority with this take. You could say Sol is faster and cheaper and that's true. Outperforms Fable? Impossible to believe without hard evidence.

They are desperately, desperately trying to make a name for themselves as the lab that first created AGI, because Anthropic's IPO is just around the corner.

They used a custom harness. It's not a one-to-one comparison.

Yep. Incredibly misleading. Although it is not surprising at this point. They are desperate and will do anything to undermine Anthropic's upcoming IPO.

Exact same thing happed to me. I gave it a small/medium-sized ticket, walked away, came back to a 25,000 LoC monstrosity that both Fable and another 5.6 Sol agent said is 98% useless and should be thrown away.

There are so many deep flaws with this article that it is difficult to believe it was written by a seasoned economics professor. I can only conclude that he's pushing some sort of agenda or is otherwise politically motivated. 1. The co

I disagree. As the saying goes: never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence. That goes for both OpenAI and HF (but mostly the former, as the latter was the victim).

You are either seriously naive, or have never worked on any large and complex legacy codebase.

by enraged_camel 15d ago
Yes they are. The OP doesn't appear to know what they are talking about. Fable can absolutely be used to develop applications. It's just that for security stuff I use Opus 5. Which is fine for most use cases.

The thing that blows my mind about it is that they straight up copied Claude Code and tried to frame it as some sort of incredible accomplishment. There are no new ideas, no insightful UI/UX paradigms, no killer features. They say mone

If you find derision and extreme cynicism "soothing", the problem may be with you, rather than those who are optimistic about AI.

>> I think it's fair to call his specific predictions "early." I'm saying his timelines are too short. That means his predictions were either wrong, or meaningless.

In this case, it is. Zitron does not possess even the most basic knowledge about the issues and practices he complains about. For example: https://www.crisesnotes.com/sigh-no-ed-zitron-ai-bond-issuan...

Interesting that they seem to have gone all-in on science, and life sciences in particular. Improvements to coding performance seem marginal, although cost savings are very welcome. Curious to see how Astra does.

Fable is significantly better at helping me think through (and untangle) business logic problems as well. I actually rarely use it for implementation because Opus 5 is good enough for my use cases. YMMV.

The reason LLMs use the same cadence and cliches is that their RLHF does not emphasize writing well, the way it emphasizes, say, coding. And the reason for that should be pretty obvious: coding is where the big money is at. So the author ma

FWIW I think it is miscategorized. "Build it and they will come" is a different type of problem: it commonly refers to building something thinking that its value and usefulness are self-evident that it will sell itself, and theref
