It's pretty wild how we are seeing the conversation change every 1-2 weeks. I wonder how long this cycle of progress and innovation among competitors can keep up.

Fable might be using those phrases less, but its writing is still terrible and exhausting to read.
models are hungry for a more information-dense language for now all they've got is english, so they'll just bend that into shape. it'll do.
I've heard chinese contains more information per token
Re: Claude Opus 5
#573Great that there's a new model but they could fix their existing infra. We're considering dropping our Claude Team sub cause it's unusable recently. Constant bugs, dropped sessions, issues switching models, http errors. It's becoming ridiculous
Is it some Claude Team/Enterprise only problematic? I'm using two 20x Max accounts almost non-stop (Fable/Opus) for 1.5 years at this point, zero issues with both client and infra sides (from US and in travels). When I'm reading such messages it feels like either I'm lucky or it's a part of some campaign.
I commend you for burning 6 figure losses into Anthropic thanks to their subsidies singlehandedly but I am curious to learn what you've built with this so far, not to be snarky, I just wonder what people actually produce while having these run nonstop.

And to the guardrails of Fable: https://x.com/cheatyyyy/status/2080693704290140330
That tweet says: > Opus 5 can silently fallback to Opus 4.8 (without any notice) on the serverside if you hit a guardrail But https://support.claude.com/en/articles/16049681-why-claude-s... says (emphasis mine): > These checks cause Claude to _visibly_ fallback from Opus 5 to Opus 4.8 [...] You'll see a notice explaining that the model switched, and the response will be labeled with the model that answered. So who is…
i wonder if anyone thinks im weird for still using 4.6 lmao it's my "good enough" model. im more than pleased at what i can whip up with 4.6, once local llm's get here with a decent sized context window and it feels like using 4.6, i shall depart the land of these dumb service subscriptions
Re: Claude Opus 5
#575I think the most important thing here is not absolute performance. It's that organizations now have access to a Fable-ish model without Fable's 30-day data retention requirement[0]. > "Consistent with prior Opus models, Opus 5 does not have data retention requirements for general access."[1] On the Opus model release page, the reason why Fable doesn't have an ARC-AGI score is because of that retention policy[2]. 0: h…
do you mean, that organizations now have access to Fable-ish pelican drawing?
at last. time to lay off 22,000 employees
Re: Claude Opus 5
#576Any observations on Opus 5 personality quirks? I had to skip 4.8 entirely because it has zero chill.

So unless doomsday actually happens then you're unhappy with the warning - is that right? You see false promises of apocalypse as marketing?
It’s either advertising, or they’re idiots, because the apocalypse keeps not happening. Either way, it’s not worth listening to them.

All software engineering is over as we know it. I haven't written a line of code since December 2025.
same tbh but i feel like we're still required, maybe not in the same numbers as before, and our job description has just changed. it feels more akin to an "AI Agent Operator" or something similar. i'm still pretty confident someone like my mom wouldn't be able to do my job even with the same access to all the latest LLMs, so we're still providing some value, just in a very different way. whether the market will repri…
If software development were getting easier, first thing I'd expect to see would be a strong downward trend in salaries. Why pay a high mid+ dev rate when a junior+LLM can do the same?
That's yet to happen. 90% of software dev skills are still relevant - AI is, for now, just a productivity boost.

>Don't be surprised when OpenAI also has a "modest increase" with its next releases; cartel-like behaviour doesn't require overt coordination when none of the participants are interested in participating in a margin-destroying price-war. No I will be surprised and I'll bet on the fact that prices will keep going down, just like it went ~50% down in the latest GPT 5.6 release.
If the price keeps going down, how are they ever going to be able to make back all the money they’re spending? If the price stays high, how are they going to undercut the cost of labor?
