I do not think I'd personally gain much currently, other than saving a few dollars by using a third party inference provider. The Fable quota on the $200 personal plan could be higher, but the difference to Opus 5 or 5.6 Sol is not lar

Interesting, I was not aware of SBF's investment in Anthropic. It's not a good look. If you ask me, SBF ran an obvious scam in a sector that is as a whole a scam. With Anthropic's product, I experience a real benefit today.

Isn't the fear mongering and position on regulation consistent with the beliefs he shares about the dangers of AI and how frontier models must be developed and deployed in a safe way? I see the conflict of interest of course, but so fa

I think it's bad. You want to handle device rotation smoothly in your in-app browser? Tough luck, WebKit's _beginAnimatedResizeWithUpdates is private, and only Apple gets to use it in Safari. Good luck with the animation and scrol

Pathetic discourse in the comments for the most part. As if we didn't know the challenges in translating research into clinical treatments. I wonder if many of the commenters here read the post, where Amodei specifically references his

I don't see a lot of societal level problems other than the labor market, for which both Anthropic and OpenAI create research, monitoring, and policy advice. I don't think anyone will care about the largely made up issues about el

Do you not think that Amodei, who worked on research about cancer biomarkers at Stanford, knows a thing or two about how to apply AI to the problem? What he is saying makes sense to me. Is it that you don't trust a single word he says

In this context that probably relates to reducing permissions of the coding agent. That might be a tradeoff in convenience which one has to assess against the risk. And for that risk assessment, it seems that coding agents with broad permis

Based on my experience, a competent business person could feasibly develop a mobile app today. However, I suspect that trying this in a team, where developers review the code, is likely a recipe for disaster. About the natural-language comp

It's still a lot of work. I have to prompt for the features, test them, then iterate until the UX is acceptable before I merge. Usually I would juggle 2-5 topics in parallel, unless one of them demands more of my attention. While there

Don't you think I've fixed bugs and kept the app stable during the 300 hours I have been working on it? That's why I can say with full confidence that it works. I doubt it will magically all fall apart the moment an external

I doubt that. I believe many of you use it at work, where you need to get code through review, or voluntarily review the generated code. Otherwise I have no explanation as to how agentic development is failing for you, while it continues to

You can generalize an incident where Opus 4.6 acted on the user's prompt in a harmful way to indicate prompt injection risk, since presumably the system prompt was bypassed, ok. It's still not a good basis to claim the problem of

By that standard, we could have AGI tomorrow, and I should still not comment. No, my app is not published yet. It will probably take another month, with hopefully no complications arising out of the AppStore review process. Then, I hope the

I did not try it on games. Many features in my iOS app at first come out technically working, but with poor UX and verbose text in the UI. One or two rounds of testing and refinement and they typically work well.

Alignment of the latest models is questionable, yes. That's a different topic. For this particular gym incident, supposedly Opus 4.6 was used in OpenClaw, predating the current safety guardrails of Fable and co.

That's what is shown by default in the app. I'll never understand why anyone would want to restrict themselves to a terminal interface instead, and I say this as a Vim user.

I doubt there is such a clear difference. One week it feels better to work with Fable and Opus 5, the other I work more with GPT 5.6 Sol. Either takes its liberties, and neither communicates like a companion.

With GPT 5.6 Luna the thinking once or twice leaked into the output for me. It's interesting, but perhaps not particularly useful. It would be endless paragraphs of something among the lines of: Need prepare final response? Yes provide
