The human brain is fascinating Three years ago The idea of having A robot writing production level code in 10 minutes that would have needed a team of 5 people and 2 months. Was pure Scifi

Now it's boring , not good enough

Wow there should be a term of that .

It's not that it's not good enough. It's that the cheap models are already good enough. I want a daily driver but they are trying to sell me a Ferrari. It's cool, but I have no use for it.

The term you are looking for is probably "moving the goalposts"

I agree that intelligence at cost is exciting right now, especially if you view AI as a tool. The clock is ticking on subsidized tokens and cheap or free local inference will be the future. I think people want AI to be an oracle for prediction and discovery, which is where the sota models come in. But each release seems more iterative and underwhelming than the last. When the latest models regularly reveal unexpected insights, like how to get my execs to stop demanding hand-wavey 10x productivity gains, somebody let me know.

GLM 5.3 Flash has been a relevation for me. It's practically impossible to spend more than $5-$10 per day if you're only working on a single project -- but $10 is a full-day of continuous churn. First I was super sceptical about it, and always used Fable to instruct it, but now I realised that even with complex coding, it's reasonably good.

I have a project that could use Fable, that fails horribly on Opus, Sol, Grok, Gemini and GLM etc, but I just can't afford to use it on something so frivolous. (Assuming Fable could complete it)
reply
if you use these things to generate design docs / text, it should be good news if it is actually better at prose as advertised. Some people like sol for prose better the anthropic models.
reply
fable and friends are useful for long-term agentic stuff like orchestrating glm-5.3 flash implementers and verifying them
