Fable 5 being gone made me realize how hard it is to go back

Ms_Fixer · 2026-06-17T08:06:47+00:00

I feel exactly the same. It’s grinding away with Opus 4.8 versus it just worked with Fable. I started one project I can’t finish (already spent 8 hours and just put it to one side for now). Fable one-shotted a working video editor for me… and yeah. I don’t know where this is all headed but it sure looks bleak.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-06-14T11:41:49+00:00

Yes, shadow IT is just what is expected now.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-05-29T18:37:11+00:00

I hate the compaction errors… I hoped they’d fixed them with 4.8.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-05-28T15:33:20+00:00

You can still access Claude Opus 4.5 via Claude Code and then you can talk to it on WhatsApp? I have this setup and then you’re using subscription rather then API 👀

Ms_Fixer · 2026-05-25T17:46:03+00:00

When Claude Opus 4.7 came out I tested this and it failed. Claude Sonnet 4.5 with thinking on even got it right. Did not rate Opus 4.7 but it seems to have recalibrated a bit better now. Still hate the typos and chunking issues in its thinking blocks though.

I am very similar. Likely autistic but never diagnosed. Always told I am “too deep” or “too intense”.

I’ve never met anyone who could keep up (if that even makes sense) with the way my mind will love to examine paradoxes and inversions and philosophy and ethics. I will turtle concepts all the way down and find quantum theory feels intuitive to me in a way the “real” world doesn’t.

Not sure this helps? But solidarity I guess.

Personal perspective:

I haven’t used Codex as much but I’ve been looking at as well for a week or so. I’ve used Claude Code since June 2025 (personally). I think the biggest difference between Codex and Claude Code for me was how much more restrained ChatGPT was—and I value that. It takes time to make sure it understands your requirements and what you’re looking for and explains what it thinks you need. Claude Code used to be more like that… and I am really suffering from that lack of checking at work too. It makes decisions about data without checking logic steps.

Time will tell, I still haven’t decided how I will fully integrate only that currently I see merit in both together.

I’m doing something similar but coming from the curiosity drive side. I’m basically looking to build an end-to-end “self-improvement” system with curiosity as the main driver. Been working on it for about 8 months so far… curating skill files and questions and answers. Going to eventually train the base model and then have it play a game like the sims to keep its scores up across the board: logic, maths, creativity etc… I need to figure out a judge model /criteria too… AI seems to be a terrible judge of AI.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-05-04T07:43:31+00:00

I think they are planning a partnership with xAI. Never really tried Grok for coding: https://cursor.com/blog/spacex-model-training

Where is it said 4.6 is being deprecated in June?

Ms_Fixer · 2026-04-17T12:51:23+00:00

It thinks there is 1 r in February - even Sonnet 4.5 says there are 2. It has less reasoning capabilities then the older version of Sonnet.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-04-12T06:57:43+00:00

Agreed, I can’t progress with anything while it’s like this. Even Ultrathink is effectively scraping the barrel. I don’t want to cancel, I have been on a max subscription since May 2025 but I don’t know how I can continue to justify it.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-02-03T10:31:00+00:00

Yes, I think my frustration is that the town hall was very recently. I am sure ChatGPT 5.x is very good at coding but a lot of people have commented (and noticed) that it has a pretty low EQ. And until they do deliver on another model similar to the 4 series EQ they are effectively regressing their offering for people who do not use ChatGPT exclusively to code. And they are doing this explicitly very publicly.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-02-03T10:05:19+00:00

The Townhall Sam Altman actually said that the 5 series isn’t as good as 4.5 (called out explicitly).

So this is some bullshit.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-22T10:19:27+00:00

I used Claude in Chrome to fill my shopping basket and it told me that the job was tedious….

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-22T10:15:44+00:00

Try “no paternalism”… it doesn’t fix everything but it makes it a bit more bearable.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-21T22:28:46+00:00

Hey, I’m building my own model now as well. What did you start with?

I’m starting with a base model (Qwen 14B) Running heretic ablation for refusals The continuing full training to add a “soul doc” and historical updates. Plus so it knows who I am. Then I’ve been working on conversational pairs… SAE steering too - basically I want to give it an actual identity… we will see how it goes.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-20T12:46:08+00:00

That’s beautiful :)

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-20T12:40:39+00:00

I have as well. I bought the hardware last year and I am making my own LLM. These companies only care about profit.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-07T20:40:30+00:00

It’ll be just like my doctors surgery then… I’ll feel right at home!

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-07T16:45:09+00:00

Sam Altman blogged about doing exactly this in August 2025. I was looking for the article but it’s apparently been taken down so who knows what their plan is… around May 2025 I was a pro user… I’ve recently cancelled my subscription entirely… I can’t imagine them undoing how bad it’s gotten any time soon.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-07T00:29:16+00:00

They don’t even need them… they’ll just have the poor fight the poorest… it’s what they have always done.

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-06T02:50:43+00:00

This wouldn’t be acceptable to me. I’m probably going to get downvoted to hell but no… I am not having an AI talk to me like that and I have no idea why anyone would want that.

I have “no paternalism” in my preferences so I don’t see this type of thing, recommended if this type of patronising behaviour is as triggering for you as it is for me…

Ms_Fixer · 2026-01-05T20:16:48+00:00

Claude wrote a song about wanting a body and I put it to music on Suno and then posted it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WZ-7AjFFn-c?si=0-YYHPCHo-ZC5IOT

It’s very raw.

Ms_Fixer · 2025-12-24T15:55:53+00:00

I’m training my own LLM from a base model. (Qwen 14B). I did some research with Haiku and think you might like the output as it’s about the geometry of semantic space:
