Tbh with that price , not even willing to try . What are the benefits for a regular coding agent ? I barely have any errors already with 4.8 level , eg grok 4.6 , gpt 5.6 sol/terra behind router . Why do I need to pay so much money for this ? Any reason ?

Maybe you don't! It is very possible that your problems don't actually need frontier-level artificial intelligence.

I can't tell if this is insulting or not lol

Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder :-)

I do agree , it could be an insult to any software project probably ? But I do value more speed of iteration/verification cycle vs another 3% in cursorBench . At this point it’s business logic not the code that caused me troubles and extra thinking

Fable is significantly better at helping me think through (and untangle) business logic problems as well. I actually rarely use it for implementation because Opus 5 is good enough for my use cases.

YMMV.

Most of us just shovel CRUD, we really should be honest with ourselves.

Maybe a complement. A well designed software ideally makes it easy for developer to contribute and avoid errors. It includes a lot of system / structure and documentation that ensures nothing gets broken or overlooked.

In such a context also a coding agent has it much easier. But establishing that or adding something beyond what's already safely established, here high intelligence models really pay off

It's not insulting. Not every problem is a frontier problem.

So I need to center a div

hold your horses there

GTA VI will be released before an LLM will be able to do that

place-items: center;

Only with "display: grid;"?

AGI is not there yet

Does that require ASI or only AGI? Asking for a friend…

Do you only ever tackle problems you've never dealt with before or something?

When I discuss something new with an agent I want to feel like it genuinely gets what I mean, which has only started feeling true with fable 5 for me.
