Anthropic is almost purely a model company. They own close to no data centers. If models are becoming commodities, and the main bottleneck is actually serving them at scale, Anthropic does not appear particularly well positioned. If AWS ha

Was just going to say... Even if all AI gives me is the opportunity to bring my visions to life even somewhat terribly... That's a lot better than I'd be able to do without it. Which is for them to go nowhere. I'll take it.

Roughly equivalent to Gemini 3.6 Flash in capabilities at 1/20th the price... Mind you, until the recent price cuts to Luna - Gemini 3.6 Flash wasn't even egregiously priced (but oh how things change in just 1 week).

Prices have consistently gone down 90% every 18 months like clockwork for about 5 years for the same level of quality. There is no end in sight for at least another generation. There is ZERO reason to believe models 1/10th the size of

That's why you need a way to measure complexity - and no cyclomatic complexity is not it.

My personal take is that if you want to scale in engineering you really only have 2 options. 1) you start acting like a senior staff level engineer and you stop caring so much about implementation and start caring about the things that actu

This would be really cool if it did 3Brown 1Blue's style of visualization - but interactively, and allowed you to explore at any stage.

The goal is to make the safety tests cost $100M+, so that no one can release a model legally useable for a large portion of the world, unless they charge high enough prices, to the point where no one would use it, thus no competition.

Opus 5 / Fable - instead of implementing things one-by-one in a branch - decided to branch off and do everything from the starting point - meaning that they re-did work over and over, in different ways, and that almost nothing could me

SpaceX is WAY more about space than Twitter. Twitter by itself is lucky to be worth $15B anymore. The space portion of SpaceX is easily worth 10x that. xAI is theoretically the hype machine that makes up the remainder of the value.

Probably the fact that they don't want Anthropic or Google or OpenAI to have access to their data theoretically, and that they do want to use good AI, and that they don't want to spend the money themselves to make a good model...

I can't believe they released the charts they did. It basically shows that Sol absolutely demolishes Fable at every part of the cost curve for coding for the same level of quality. Opus is competitive. It just has a higher level of qu

An LLM could probably figure out how to use it now. But it doesn't yet have a coherent UX unless you're me. Hopefully, I'll iron that out over the next week and I'll update you.

> Not writing code anymore. If you were an L6+, it was already not really about that. It's kind of amazing to me that people think the only thing engineers do and the only value they bring is writing code.

I'm about to release some tooling that's been very effective for me. Essentially, there's a few ways LLMs write "bad" code that is different from how people write "bad" code. We've got pretty good too

Dogpile was only a good idea while Search Engines were mostly trash. You needed to search all of them to find something decent. That's roughly analogous to today. Ignoring cost, you'd be way better off asking all the LLMs to solv

This is awesome, but tokenization is typically <0.1% of total inference time. Presumably there's a host of applications that just need to tokenize, though, and this would be great for those!

In my experience, Fable is not even close to Sol 5.6 High (not even the max tier) for coding. 1) it's substantially slower. 2) it's substantially more expensive. 3) it's code is considerably worse. It's a joke when you c

It's rumored that Gemini 3.5 flash has a >50% margin, and I'd imagine 3.6 flash is even higher. I do not think OpenAI or Anthropic are actively chasing margins - though, Anthropic is supposed to be profitable on some form of no

Gemini 3.5 flash is already a pretty good model. But, unfortunately, the primary way you can interact with it for coding is through Antigravity - which is actively developer hostile. It doesn't matter how good the model is if you'
