Talked with a company where, a year ago they had unlimited AI budgets + CEO is technical and very bullish in AI “We now have a daily budget limit for SOTA models. Use Fable and Astra only for planning, cheaper models are good enough for everything else.” Want to stress this is an “AI-pilled” company, and not one that ever looked at AI budgets, before. Related

[screenshot: my actual prompts for claude code cli yesterday] Quoting @ClaudeDevs Today we're rolling out Projects in Claude Code on desktop and web. A project is one conversation with Claude. It splits the work into threads itself, runs them as parallel cloud sessions, passes context between them, and keeps going when you leave. In beta for select users. Anthropic Related

On Golden Gate, you can chat to the built-in foundation model directly with `fm chat`. You can also do things like pipeline it into scripts. E.g., in the second screenshot here it's reading and summarizing a @sixcolors article. The model's context window is quite small, so I had to write a script that chunked the text, so it's sort of serially summarized. Still, it’s nice to have fully-local access to this model in this way. Related

Since I had to discuss the "pacing" with a lot of people this weekend, here are my two cents: I don't think pacing literally means that these companies will be "slowing down" training and development in any way. "Pacing" here means adding a framework for more checks. We have seen some of that "pacing" already in recent months, when Mythos wasn't released as-is but instead a delayed, nerfed Fable variant was released. Or when Astra wasn't released right away / there is an existing Astra model that hasn't been released yet. These Mythos/Fable and Astra pacing decisions were ad hoc. If you are a… Related

What should be obvious is that inference, running a large language model, is the part that has to be cheap. Most of our hardware was not designed for that. LLM inference is limited by bandwidth. You do a great many matrix-vector multiplications against a huge weight matrix, and you barely reuse those weights. It is closer to streaming a video than to running a simulation or drawing a scene in a game. Graphics processors from Nvidia and others were built for something else. They pileed compute first, then bolted on high-bandwidth memory. It is expensive. An obvious answer is to invert the desi… LLMs Related

A friend turned me on to asking Fable to wireframe different options when I have a tricky UI problem with a lot of requirements and too many possible paths. Game changing. Gives me flashbacks to what @bmoesta taught me about using orthogonal arrays when an engineering problem has too many variables. It's not about one-shotting the answer. It's about getting enough contrast between options to clarify which variables (aka "factors") are most important. Not which solution is best -- which variables matter more.

RE: https://social.tupo.space/@joshua/117174153454890194 My current AI-code policy is that I will always use the best model I can access, as long as it's practically able to do the job. Right now, as far as I know, that's Fable. Quality and accuracy matter FAR more to me than volume or speed of output. And I feel that I owe it to my customers — and myself — to use the best tools at my disposal. Cost may be a factor to others, so no judgment. This is just my policy for myself. Related
I couldn't figure out this bug, so I asked Fable, and it was SO much more incredible than I expected. - My bug report was wrong in a way I didn't notice - There technically was no bug, but a flawed design caused unintended outcomes - It verified that the design almost certainly caused me to fall into that trap, and proposed a simple, effective fix Wow.

What do you think of moving the add/dictate buttons down to the bottom like this for better reachability? Lots of people have requested it. My only hesitation is that the accent color looks pretty bold down there. But other designs — translucent bars behind, white buttons, etc. — all look significantly worse or more jumbled.

When evaling models, we anchor on the median task. But this is like how devs estimate the median task accurately but underestimate the mean which tends to be ~2x estimated (thus "double your estimates"). This applies to models too—we optimize for time/cost on median tasks. But it's the tail tasks that determine a project's completion, and reliable models (like Fable and Opus) are the diff between success and failure. Work with models as collaborators, not tools. Go beyond pair-programming, where given a narrow spec, the tool just executes in minutes. Instead, explain your intent and what succ… Quoting @Steve_Yegge Fable is careful. None of the other models are careful. GPT-5.6 Sol, Opus, Kimi, Grok.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
Got it
