#153So it's like the built-in Explore subagent - that runs on Haiku, is restricted to read-only tools, exists specifically for codebase search, and the docs list cost control via cheap-model routing as an explicit reason it exist - but with 30s latency over some externally hosted tool?
And it's just the execution, I'm not even going to comment on the idea itself, as it's even worse.
How this slop-post landed on the front page...?

#154Earlier quoted context omitted.
The spotify desktop app is one of the worst pieces of software by a major company I have ever used.
I timed how long it took to open Spotify and play a song on a $2500 Mac on low latency gigabit fiber internet. 15 seconds. Incredible stuff.
I had to test because I didn't recollect ever experiencing such issues with Spotify.
And no, the problems you described are not there.
On my Windows 11 laptop it takes about 2sec to start and basically any song starts in less than a second.
Maybe it's Apple making Spotify crappy on Mac to promote iTunes?

> I've never had an issue with Codex or Claude reading massive files Reading files isn't a problem they want to solve. The idea seems to be using a cheaper model to "scout" for the intended code, instead of an expensive one that reads all the things (and spends more tokens / thinks about them). I think this might be useful because Opus 5 especially tends to over-read. So this looks like an "LLM Bloom filter", telling…
Pretty sure claude code already delegates reading a large codebase to haiku subagents.
GH copilot as well, explore subagent is configurable.

#160i remember in 2015 when vaadin change some architecture things and introduced changes to the ui grid and other components like they didn't just reinvented dotnet framework 4 but for java.
fable already calls subagents (hoping not opus), so i don't really see the gain here
