everyone is rejoicing the other part of the stack can be vibecoded.

a backend developer would tell you the backend is much more important to focus on, performance, security, data integrity etc. not losing or exposing customer data is a lot more important than what it looks like.

truth is, it's all still important, preferably no one is vibe coding any part of a serious product.

I think for me it's more the possibility of the ideas here being incorporated in other Opensource projects (vllm, llama.cpp, or in the architecture choices of the models themselves)

Deepseek manages to be ridiculously cheap and efficient with prompt caching, i spent 550M~ (1.9b input cache miss, 1.7b output) tokens and it cost me 5~ bucks, that would be ~150 bucks on Opus 5.5, if i ran that workload in parallel that would be $50 vs $1500, e.i. i wouldn't want to subagent heavily with anthropic models.

now imagine Kimi K4 or GLM 5.5 with those cost savings

flattens the entire city? absolutely not, this is not a standard anyone should consider normal

cities do not get systematically flattened with bulldozers in urban warfare, you only completely wipe out cities when you don't want any the civilians to come back.

why can't you do the process when you vote?

well, it is true. there is a price ceiling for intelligence, there were news about how adoption of fable was lower than expected, only hitting 11% of enterprise spending for customers with anthropic, iirc 26% for Sol with openai customers.

in any case, I've been using open and closed models since sonnet 4, i remember when the best I could get was qwen 3 480b coder, you can definitely feel the gap closing going from that and GLM 4.5, to GLM 5.3, DeepSeek Flash V4.1, Kimi K3 etc, it's reached the point where i wish I had V4.1 at work, it's faster and bullshits me less when I use it in my personal projects. And I have unlimited access to fable 5.1

is it? it's still the same model, they can claim the quantization down to q4 still retains 98% of the performance therefore it's fine.

nothing on the fine print tells you what the weights are, you're just getting Fable 5, whatever that is

but there is a gap between benchmarks and user feel.

Opus 5 came out with better benchmark results than Fable, but it really did not feel better to use at all.

what does it do too much out if the box? afaik it only has the basic tools and two agents profiles, maybe lsp support is extra?

why can't I use the tokens i paid for anyway?

the switch, steam deck and competitors will likely look into ARM, the cheaper ones already use it, flagship and gaming phones, the latter is bigger than you think, normal mobile gaming is big in third world countries and china, and emulation continuous to get better, I can ToTK and The Witcher 3 (windows version) on my phone, and it's a few years old flagship

throw his garbage out, the time and effort taken to review that is magnitudes more than what it took to prompt it.

have him start with an overall design doc if his change is 15k, it's definitely worth a design doc.

and then have his contributions reviewed in pieces of 200-300 LoC PRs.

any other solution is trading stability and system knowledge, that's 15k LoC no one is truly familiar with, even if you do try to review it

i would argue, the NSA not being up to some bullshit is more unlikely, and thus has the burden of proof on it, to assume otherwise is to ignore history and basic incentives these orgs have.
