Opus 5’s effort dial is not monotonic. Above "high", coding scores go down, and Anthropic’s own migration guide says so.

Opus 5 comes with five effort settings: low, medium, high, xhigh, max. Most people seem to be reaching straight for max, and at least on coding work that looks like the wrong move. On FrontierCode, scores fall above the high setting. The stated reason …

Is Gemini 3.6 Flash actually an upgrade or just 3.5 Flash but faster?

3.6 Flash is the current Flash now, it replaced 3.5 this week. Now that everyone's basically on it, is anyone actually noticing it got better? On the Artificial Analysis index it scores the exact same 50 as 3.5, so the intelligence didn't…

Fable 5 is now metered for Pro and Team Standard, but Claude Code’s separate August 19 extension may be more useful to watch

Fable 5's free-inclusion deadline moved from June 22 to July 7, then July 12, then July 19. The final arrangement started July 20 (today): Max and Team Premium keep Fable 5 permanently, capped at 50% of the normal weekly limit. Pro and Team Standar…

16 Nobel laureates signed a vague AI warning. The three CEOs actually building the thing didn’t.

So a bunch of economists (Brynjolfsson, Agrawal, Korinek, Cunningham, released through Stanford's Digital Economy Lab) put out this three-sentence statement on AI's economic impact, and somehow it's picked up 200+ signatures, sixteen …

Kimi K3 landed third on the Intelligence Index, ahead of Opus 4.8, and even GPT-5.6 Sol couldn’t take #1 from Fable 5. Weights supposedly drop July 27.

Been going through the Kimi K3 numbers and I don't think people have fully clocked how big this is. Right now on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Fable 5 is still #1 (59.9) and even GPT-5.6 Sol (58.9) hasn't managed to pass it….

Meta says Muse Spark 1.1 beats OpenAI and Anthropic. On price it actually does, just not in the way that matters to most people.

Been digging into the numbers on this one. Muse Spark 1.1 (Meta's new model, first one they've ever actually charged for API access) is priced at $1.25/$4.25 per million tokens. Compare that to Opus 4.8 ($5/$25) or GPT-5.5 ($5/$30) and it's…

What Are Your Thoughts on Genie 3? Are the Rumors True?

I’ve been reading a lot about Genie 3 by DeepMind, especially about its ability to generate interactive, consistent 3D worlds from just a text prompt. Some people say it’s a game-changer and the future of AI training and gaming, while others think the …
