I don’t understand what these comments add to the discussion, you always see these and it’s just noise at this point.
They add nothing, meaningless anecdotes. I was kind of riffing on that.

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…
I make that prediction, because the people who pay for subscriptions but only use them moderately at best are truly profitable.
I'd like to highlight a different part of the article: > In general, when I talk to software folks about testing, I'm coming from such a different place that they immediately look at me like I'm an alien, so let's talk about how we tested at this hardware company I worked for, Centaur, which informs my biases about how I like to work. Some of the things that we did that were or are unorthodox in the software world ar…

Yeah I was like “woa a PGConf on the galapagos, i gotta get my ass to one if those!”
Realizing he's just using it to mean remote place in terms of AI bubble (Vancouver! What does that make all the other places that are not major tech hubs?) was a bummer. Who cares about AI, I wanted to read about living in Galapagos
It's "Galapagos" or "Galápagos," not "Galapogos."

The first thing I started wondering was "is this the same Centaur that comes up as 'CentaurHauls' on a CPUID (EAX=0)?"

And I've been quite impressed. Opus talks the talk, Fable walks the walk.

Fable 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.
I wouldn't start with Fable - when I use burndown loops I tend to include instructions to document progress and set aside anything that turns out to be harder than expected, and solve the easy stuff first. When a model runs out of easy stuff and start struggling to make progress on what is left, I can let it keep churning on that - they get there eventually - or I can bump it up to a smarter model if one is available.
Opus had churned a week driving down spec failures, and did a great job. The 150 Fable took overnight were the ones Opus had kept putting aside.
OP'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.
