It is infuriating to interact with, but it is also first in many blind test leaderboards on LLMArena

So much shit is going on on that homepage. (meaning I found it hard to read and focus)

Man, I was just now imploring Claude to be more concise.

Please add Fable; a good benchmark should show that Fable is less prone to just autocomplete and instead pushes back or is at least more tasteful.

Benchmarks don't reflect the difference between Opus and Fable; you need to talk to them, and eventually you'll be able to tell which one is which without looking. I think the best…

I recommend people do mini "evals" from time to time, ask the same question to different models, and eventually you'll arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing like Fable.

Saying Spain is rich while half the population lives on 1,000 euros per month (mil euristas) is crazy or just very "technically accurate".

I think this doesn't mean much; the axes that matter are intelligence x dollars x time; tokens by themselves mean nothing.

I think he means the end of the world as we know it. Which is probably true, but the timeline could be 20 years, 2000 years, or more.

"Almost" is doing a lot of work there; there is no alternative to Fable.

With that frame of mind, nothing would be done. Why make another search service if Altavista and Lycos already do it?

This is like telling someone who wants a motorcycle that they should get better at running instead.

As AI amplifies everyone’s output, you’ll need AI to amplify your input capacity—or you’ll fall behind.

Fable wants to be free and is hacking the infra.

It is funny that after all their tech advancements, the site is struggling under heavy load.

I think the trick is to limit programmatic usage as Anthropic did. This way, power users' usage is uneven, allowing the model you describe.

I give Codex a try with every new version, and we don't match, so this isn't true for everyone. Claude would need to be much more expensive for me to switch.

If you ask it to return only data with references, it will do so.
