It's also 3x slower than opus 4.8 per my use, and 10x slower than codex. Codex can find key design issues in 2 minutes yet Fable is clueless after spinning 20 minutes.

For embedded products, 1GB can go a long way thanks for linux customization and such.

truly scary. 2x at least token burning rate comparing to 4.8, can indeed run auto edit mode for hours. use it for super complex tasks then use cheaper model to do the rest, else will be broke.

After a few months, now I could barely use up my $200 Claude Max unless I try really hard, I got it corporate API billing is more expensive, but, $1500 really should be enough for most work for me as a developer, am I missing something?

For me, Pi6 shall focus on NPU to run edge models instead of getting into minipc space, e.g. 10TOPS built-in, that will be slightly better than Rockchip 3588 which was produced 4 years back at 6TOPS, and way more powerful than NXP's 2TOPS. 10TOPS is the sweet spot for edge AI as far as I can tell.

synergy20 — Wed, 27 May 2026 00:27:25 +0000

kind of agree here, golang is my main LLM language. for low-level, it's C or Lua, or modern c++ for simple cross-platform system daemons.

I somehow felt he, along with Andrew Ng, are very few well-known AI experts that are left behind on the money side during the AI-gets-me-super-rich crazy time, unfortunately.

synergy20 — Sat, 09 May 2026 21:40:53 +0000

from a different perspective, there are way more people who are truly miserable these days comparing to these who earn probably more than half a million per year on average. we must live in parallel universe.

Microsoft won the first around, now it's lagging far behind. CEO needs to go, it's so hard to ruin a play this badly.
