Point 1 finger out, and you point 4 back.

Depends on the prompt I think. If it's just "Generate tests plz" then I agree, but if its

"If this PR adds any new endpoints, ensure that there are functional and integration tests. If there are not, please investigate the feasibility and appropriateness, and create functional tests using the guide found on our wiki for guidance https://www.ourdevwiki.site/how-to-make-functional-tests" then maybe it could add some value.

But that very much depends on the specific system. Some tests are obvious, some not so much.

EchoVoicyon Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

Curious- in what tasks? I find Opus 4.5/4.6 too expensive and have tried to migrate to DeepSeek for C++ work, but found it couldn't cut it.

What's your DSv4 setup? What harness? It sounds like I should give it another try!

For starters, there's a C++ application written with MFC and an absolute ton of inline assembly and threading (yes, in a 1990's C++ application). I'm porting it to MacOS/Linux currently.

Opus 4.6+ is able to make slow progress, but it takes several revisions per workstream. It requires constant supervision as it often creates convoluted solutions that expand the code in bloated ways. It works, but still requires my constant input.

Fable was able to almost one shot most of the big migrations with very few bugs, and was able to fix those bugs with 1 review pass. I almost didn't believe it. I was able to put it on a task (with dangerous permissions) and come back hours later to see it done, working, and clean.

I tried DeepSeek v4 and it wasn't able to make any meaningful progress at all. It kept creating dangling pointers and had trouble understanding the inline assempbly needed to be replaced if we were to compile for 64 bit. It kept getting stuck and looping on the same problem, without making progress.

What I do use DeepSeek for is lots of my automations on my websites. I find DeepSeek is fantastically cheap and fast and effective as summarization, collation, generating reports, finding and reporting issues from logs, etc. But I haven't found a way to get it to effectively port 90's C++ code to modern, cross-platform standards. But I want to be clear- I really like DeepSeek and use it wherever I can.. I mean.. it's so affordable!

It is, and I love it, but it isn't capable of performing the tasks I've been giving to Opus, let alone Fable.

Don't get me wrong, I use it, it's fast-smart-and affordable. But not suitable for all tasks.

EchoVoicyon Claude Fable 5

On my own benchmarks, which are mostly about developing c++ software, I'm finding Fable to be roughly five times faster at solving the task than opus, and with better results.

Most impressive.

What is and isn't considered a conspiracy theory changes very rapidly. There are a lot of things that today are considered common sense that 10 years ago would be considered a fringe conspiracy theory.
