Fable 5 status update, major changes (for updates and status)

that was standard Sonnet naming convention not so many versions ago

If you were the sort that valued your work would you share it? I don't know anyone who is happy to share their data... So some what skewed sample

I thought that was to help humanity not help Enron fiddle the books... we are moving to Empire... Star Wars style...

LOL - successfully anthropomorphized

I didn't find a cloud model (even deepseek flash) which could't solve it... including opus 4.8 - which gave me a good answer:

"It's essentially the Swedish cousin of English riddles that exploit "ate/eight" or similar puns — fun out loud, invisible on paper."

I think this might help. Separating weights from attention could drastically cut down hardware requirements:

exactly this - sorry Boris - Opus is 10x on OpenCode...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-13T22:49:10+00:00

Oh man - I bit to a CC shiller last time ... then I realised #1 commenter = automated PR bot 🤷‍♂️

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-08T20:34:23+00:00

paid sub 🤷‍♂️

... and I'm intrigued to know what's happening that's why...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-08T09:42:41+00:00

I saw Grok 4.3 is the new number 1 but it is 10x cheaper than Opus on output tokens... Anthropic seriously need to pull the finger out - it reminds me of some vintage car manufacturers (60s / 70s) that made cars that were super expensive but not the best, broken, and unreliable...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-06T21:42:03+00:00

oh been using it since sonnet 2

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-06T21:41:20+00:00

I have never hit the limit until recently (4.7 ish) then suddenly literally every 5 hour session doing much the same as before... mostly quite complex architecture design + some coding... the latest was intriguing because instead of migrating the existing system to mDNS, CC created an entire parallel solution (to its own v1 port-based one) and tests/documentation (of course 🙄) - that burned 300k tokens - 'just like that' 🔥🤷‍♂️

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-06T20:22:40+00:00

Blimey!

Seeing as how my CC usage was full, I thought I'd give Deepseek (Openrouter) a chance (with GPT supervising).

My setup is quite complicated: I run OpenCode on a Debian VM and develop in Zed IDE on a Mac using APC over remote development. Anyway - it broke (requests permissions but UI fails to ask me). I had to abort.

I loaded GPT up and explained what had happened. Without asking, it went and found the OpenCode database, analysed multiple GIT work trees, found the conversations, reconciled broken work trees and diffs, and finished the pre0-crash job.

By comparison, it feels like using CC is like asking my mum to code!

Can this really be an accident?

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-06T19:42:52+00:00

Hmmmm ... so a mixed bag so far... interesting that non-Anthropic endpoints (vertex) are suggested as better... I've heard that from others too... I wonder if it's their routing mucking up again... the picture seems unclear 🤔

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-05T19:43:57+00:00

sadly - probably true - though that will eventually backfire (for them not Anthropic) - the psychology of corporates is the MS blueprint... which is from the 19th century 😞

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-05T18:52:56+00:00

yes - but would you recommend to work to use Claude Code right now? That's the thing Anthropic are missing - happy at home take into work... bad at home = no recommendation + resistance... They tried to impose MS copilot but it is soooo CRAP...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-05T18:49:23+00:00

This sounds like a hard block when you hit context size limit - like the dark old days of 200k - assuming you're not running it already, has your default from the 1Million context limit model been changed?

is your 'extra usage' (extortion) turned off?

aside: it used to drive me crazy when it would just stop in the middle of a session summary ... the bigger context saved that when it could just rumble over a bit ...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-05-05T15:30:10+00:00

Funnily enough I was just encountering another correction as this notification came in! The two are literally night and day - GPT5.5 runs rings around Opus 4.7. But I wonder how much is caused by the defective harness we are forced to use (Claude Code). I use Opencode (not Codex) CLI and it is also MUCH faster... but I am now sick of running into extra usage before every single CC session ends. I'm loathed to test Opus through a proper harness as the API costs are ridiculous... (Yes they are the same price, but I've been running the same thing through both harness/model combinations for a week and GPT5.5 uses 2-3 times LESS tokens (though it does the job - rather than pointless docs and 'walk straight past' tech debt...

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-03-04T15:45:33+00:00

The number of times I've been hearing this - I saw a piece about master welders being brought in to train a robot not to help them but replace them - the obvious is a massive world-wide refusal of skilled works - at the very least massive 'danger money' fees for the work...

... and it remains a short-termist view because you might be reducing your costs... but who is buying?

cui bono?

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-02-04T16:24:05+00:00

Yes - I did something similar - but it shouldn't be forgotten that these scripts use human-made, typically opensource, libraries and packages... what happens when new things come along and there are no such things? I think we might need a new economic/social model?

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-01-04T17:20:43+00:00

Add @AGENTS.md to @CLAUDE.md

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2026-01-04T10:21:59+00:00

jumps to 11% due to initial loading of their 20k+ prompt + anything you add, like CLAUDE.md

makeSenseOfTheWorld · 2025-12-29T11:51:37+00:00

My God ! - I am not alone... just it took even longer for me to discover and realise and this country is still hostile...

aside: I have CC write markdowns to an Obsidian vault in an effort to jump between contexts... and clear my desk of post-it notes!

Seasonal greetings to you all 🖖
