#12It's "Galapagos" or "Galápagos," not "Galapogos."

#13Fable changes the game yet again, because it's API-only. You're not likely to want to run Fable in a loop any more than you want to take a bunch of dollar bills and light them on fire. Every invocation of Fable has to be intentional, its context carefully managed. I feel like a babysitter.
For now, I can use Fable from the web just fine. > You're not likely to want to run Fable in a loop any more than you want to take a bunch of dollar bills and light them on fire. Every invocation of Fable has to be intentional, its context carefully managed. Eh, that's just because it's the current frontier model. Give it a few weeks, and prices will drop.
API prices are the new normal. I doubt that prices will drop to the level of the subsidized subscriptions any time soon. Usage is growing exponentially but capacity cannot. There is no reason for them to waste their capacity on subscription users if they can sell that same capacity to API users.
Like with Uber and Lyft, the low prices were a fight for market share, but now they have successfully captured that market share the focus changes to balancing their books.

You miswrote OP’s miswriting in the third version :)

#18OP's alt text makes it clear that by "Galapagos Island" they mean Vancouver. I assumed that this was some sort of local nickname, but all of the references to "Galápagos of Canada" I could find are talking about Haida Gwaii instead.

Compared to Opus 4.8 I really haven't been impressed
And I've been quite impressed. Opus talks the talk, Fable walks the walk.
Re: Agentic coding notes
#20A lot of the crazy ideas seem to have melted away in the face of massive context sizes. Today, I can put roughly a megabyte of utf8 text into my system prompt before things start to get weird. That is a massive amount of information even if we are being sloppy with it. You can read The Hobbit and the first Harry Potter book cover-to-cover and still have room to spare. I would deeply struggle to develop a world model…
You’re forgetting that keeping the context small is better economically and delivers better results.
