Been banging on Deepsek 4 Flash for the past few weeks but finally jumped over to GLM 5.2.

But I'm thinking about OpenAI Terra and wondering if I'll ever get to try Fable 5.

Did a bunch of experiments building Powerpoint decks with Sonnet, GPT5.5, GLM 5.2, Grok, and Deepseek. Grok cost me $10 because it got stuck in a loop when it couldn't git push and the quality was bad too. GLM 5.2 was totally acceptable qualtiy.

I spend most of my time these days in Codex. i've been using more of my long neglected GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark quota the last few days. it's quick and good for when I need to do rapidfire small fixes and tweaks. sama says we're gonna get 750 tok/s on Sol next month. that's gonna be fun

I also use OpenCode free tier sometimes and have had good results with DeepSeek v4 flash. MiMo v2.5 also was pretty good at getting the job done.

for work we are a heavy claude code shop - mostly 4.8 opus high or sonnet 4.6 high but highly task dependent

we're on a 2-month free codex trial with unlimited tokens which is impossible to ignore - so far I highly prefer claude code but to be fair that's where i've been living so i'm more comfortable there

personally I tend to bounce between chatgpt auto for general questions and grok for anything that needs real-time info

we used it for the short amount of time it was available for teams customers - it found quite a number of interesting security-related findings when we had it do some sweeps that we've been following up on - would love to have access back to see what else we've missed

^ We're also a Claude shop, so I reach for Opus by default, but I've found myself trusting its outputs less and less as the months go by. I use Codex to red-team nearly everything Opus produces to try and close that gap.

But Claudio feels like my buddy, so I'm not gonna put it out to pasture just yet.


I will say, however, it's gotten nearly unbearable to use with how it speaks - pure unfettered inside baseball gibberish. I probably tell it "speak like a normal fucking human being" at least 3-5x a day. I heard Fable was even worse about this.

I've never once been impressed with anything from Grok, and I'm disappointed that SpaceXFirstSolarTeslaScamoftheCenturyCorp swept up Cursor into their fold. Dogshit company, dogshit products.

interesting data. cool of them to publish it

me too. the models themselves aren't particularly impressive (although given the level of investment I won't be too too surprised to see them leap ahead for a minute or two at some point(s) over the next few years) but the integration with Twitter, which remains for better or for worse a key (the best?) source of realtime conversation online especially for certain topics, is compelling. but it won't be the only game in town much longer, I reckon

Old TWW would have started the obvious posts by now.

i have suckled from the sweet Fable 5 teet and I dont know how I’ll ever work without it



also Sonnet 5 is pretty great, yaps less than Opus, already a good player IMO

before long you'll scoff at the idea of using such an underpowered model

I asked Fable to build me some skills based on my prior sessions with other models. They were pretty dope.

Then, I asked it to build me a way to force Opus-level models to work with me the same way I had been working with Fable, since I was losing access.

That plugin is driving all kinds of performance lift for me atm. I know the rage is to say "move from in the loop to on the loop," but this elevated me out of the critical path; it's dope as hell.
