I'm Luca. I work on model-based design, simulation, and developer tools

Exactly! And they should also release the new inference engine in this month. Anyway, I am curious to try Opus 5, considering that previous versions (e.g., 4.8) were disappointing

But why GPT 5.6 Sol is so behind on the benchmarks? In real-world projects, it is the best frontier model to me in terms of accuracy, speed and consistency. It can just be compared to Fable 5, but I prefer GPT 5.6 Sol because of inference speed.
I've never trusted on model cards though. I'm sorry.

A month ago I posted Modeloop here, a visual environment for designing control systems
(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48543968).

"I'm always saying Simulink needs a text-based interface. Same signal flow programming model that supports scopes and continues time integrators, just with text instead of drag-and-drop." (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48598291)
This has been on my own list for a long time too, so I built it. It's called MDL (Modeloop Description Language).
Every diagram now has an equivalent textual form, and the two stay synchronized in both directions. This allows users to decide if to create and modify diagrams as blocks on the canvas or as MDL text.
Curious what HN thinks — and boscillator, if you're around: this one's on you.

For firmware RE this would be most useful if every guess is tied to evidence

Using power as feedback is neat because it works when you can’t instrument the target but I wonder how they separate new behavior from boring analog noise, e.g. the clocks

I’d like to see which parts of the assurance case are language/toolchain dependent versus plain old process, tests and traceability.

Remember that such models are available to us thanks to NVIDIA GPUs

Never had rejections in the short time Fable was available

Agree. It is a mediocre model, expensive while not being a frontier

Wrong! Look at it better. It shows that Opus has superior performance but at higher cost.

You're referring to the Agentic search, but if you look at the Agentic computer use the cost is basically halved.
However, I am also confused about market positioning. Too expensive to perform daily tasks - open souce models are much cheaper - and not frontier model to address complex real world problems.
Rarely used Sonnet btw.
