The "...aaaand it's gone" meme now applies to tokens and money at the same time. Clever AI future we live in!

#112I think the difference between the Anthropic token maximization approach (vibe code all the things!) and OpenAI's focus on efficiency, terseness and token reduction are going to be the defining features of who wins the long-term race. My money is on the more efficient solution. Even if Anthropic can win some benchmarks by using 3x tokens over 3x time, it is a terrible base to build toward the future. Users are no lon…

#113Was anyone impressed by Fable? I was never wowed by anything it generated.
It's blowing my mind. Fable is the only AI model I use for coding, everything else is garbage for my use case.
Tbh the extreme discrepancies between very confidently made statements about "X is better than Y" a sign a to me this is something where peoples' biases are out of control. Not saying you are wrong. Just that these things are so hard to evaluated apples to apples and that things like under-the-hood routing changes muddy the waters so much that it's really hard to get reasonable assessments.

#114I have both chatGPT pro and Claude max accounts and I am considering switching Claude for Grok. Despite all those claude hypes, for me personally, claude just does not match codex in almost all tasks, both coding and non-coding.

#115This is a very bad time for them to be doing this when other plans are being very liberal and catching up to Fable. I predict they will revert this decision once they see their sub numbers drop.

They'll all be getting around to this sooner or later, its just too expensive
I posted on LinkedIn that I thought the future of AI will be local . I'm surprised I didn't get tarred and feathered, but it's been crickets. I do believe it though. While the subsidies of the frontier providers are nice, they can't continue forever.
I believe it's been crickets because open-source/DIY solutions almost never become mainstream. Devs tend to think everyone wants a self-service to save a few bucks.
Most ordinary people don't care that much about privacy and if there is a solution that just works well enough to cover their needs and costs just fair enough to be affordable, they are going to use that. I feel like this is why fast food is such a thing. There are far better food options out there that either require a little bit more effort or money. Your post on Linkedin is akin to someone claiming in 1960's America that home-cooked burgers are the future, despite McDonalds gaining ground.
It is also why crypto wallets and the like never took off, people don't want to give up the convenience of a bank account, understandably.

I really would like to see OpenAI’s focus on efficiency but everytime I use Codex, it wastes tokens like there’s no tomorrow, hitting week limit in a day, where I’m able to use Claude just fine. Maybe it’s based on the codebase, I don’t know, but I have better results with Claude than Codex.
I had the opposite experience. Claude models and its harness feel like they are set to eat tokens for everything, especially if it’s ultracode effort. I have seen it spawn 6 agents and eat my 4-hour quota right in front of me. Codex is on point and follows instructions well even with max effort. I like my analogy of Claude being garrulous and Codex being laconic. If I see more limit hits in same sitting session, I ha…
Just before I canceled my 20x Max sub I had a day where I had ~15% of my weekly I was trying to burn. I set it on ultracode and because I had set the max agents 32 for another project and forgot, the five research agents ended up spinning up a total of 26 subagents and burned through the remainder of my weekly in the span of 20 minutes before I noticed and shut it down.
“No, not like THAT!”

#118Anthropic seems cooked right now in terms of compute
Their revenue has increased dramatically. The run rate was 9B in Dec, 19B in Mar, 47B in May. It's now at 65B.

You've articulated what I found unsettling about Boris' pov that "coding is a solved problem". I listened to a few of his talks and was instinctively off-put by that sentiment. I figured a fellow programmer would understand and speak on the nuances. Granted it did make me think about my biases and to lean into more future facing inevitabilities. But you've nailed it, for Boris and Anthropic, they are betting that cod…
On the one hand it feels true. On the other I ask - what good software have anthropic, or anyone else, produced that was fully vibed?
As someone who does near 100% of my coding via LLM these days, i still find that for anything complex i am still looking at and thinking in terms of code. Im still quality checking and steering at some interval via code. And im still not sure how or whether i can replicate that level of thought without still dealing in code at times.

At least with OpenAI you can use a third party harness like Pi.
