What worries me most are questions like this: these autonomous AI employees or automations - it doesn't change the essence - consume a lot of LLM tokens. Please tell me, how do you pay for this? Do you use, for example, the Anthropic o

Check out my MacBook SVG benchmark. From my experience, it demonstrates the Real model’s behavior. However, I notice the errors it makes, which are similar to the mistakes made by the mistake model in code. https://playcode.io&#x

Anyway, only Opus 5 Max and Fable 5 XHigh + Max make a good-looking Mac.

I still believe my bench is superior to Pelican or Karpathy’s. Everyone knows how a MacBook looks. Any missing or incorrect detail will be obvious. However, Pelican or this world can be anything. https://playcode.io/blog

Congratulations, Chris! I’ve always been competing with you, and many users came to Playcode from Codepen. In fact, I even offered to buy playcode.io about 9-10 years ago, but you didn’t respond and 1-2 months later you released a copy prod

Fun fact: we also built our cloud platform based on Fly.io’s ideas, but we supercharged it with a custom Rust filesystem. This platform powers full-stack applications for business users, including Playcode.ai. For more information about our

I've heard stories like this before, how one or a few people miraculously coded up an alternative to Node.js. But can you name even one that actually works properly in production? Not a single one. Take Bun, for example. Nobody is actu

I’m pretty sure Opus 5 is adapted to tricks from long reasoning in Kimi K3 and based on original Opus 4.8. It is not fable in any form.

Opus yes, it likes to explain steps and reread files. Fable is not better, it says zero information between steps and then output a summary. A perfect “send - done”.

Pelican svg: https://playcode.io/blog/macbook-svg-benchmark#model-claude-... It creates the MacBook svg way better than 4.8, yet only fable can make it perfect without visual defects. Results similar to Kimi K3.

Pelican svg and a near-perfect 3D MacBook at max effort for $0.16, about a fifth of Fable's price. Fable 5 still wins on detail with no visible errors, but it's close. And this isn't a memorized pelican; https://pl

Thank you for the criticism. I heard you. I added a TLDR. I cleaned up many AI constructions. By the way, I tweaked it a bit, compressed it. One way or another, I want to note that yes, this text was made in collaboration with AI. My Englis

The pelican benchmark is doubtful, let's draw MacBook Pro in SVG. Is Fable best?

Well, criticizing is, of course, great. But the reality is that English is not my native language and I dictated most of it with my voice, then processed it with the help of AI, translated, added, corrected, and converted. It is actually a

We've switched the default model in playcode.io among Opus 4.8, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Sonnet 5. I must admit, Opus 4.8 is quite expensive, and the costs accumulate quickly. Opus 4.6 is about 50% cheaper, while Sonnet 5 is significa

Well, I both agree and disagree with you. On one hand, the price is just astronomical for Fable, well, not exactly astronomical, but I would say unaffordable. That is to say, so expensive that it is impossible to use. But on the other hand,

Well, in my view, it's just the most ordinary manipulation to avoid creating unrest. There is most likely no improvement inside. Of course, these are my guesses, but did anyone feel the difference in the transition from Opus 4.5 to 4.6
