inline execution. agents execution takes 4x as long, uses more tokens and is full of holes. less time, less money, less bugs. who keeps pushing this trash

This seems like a completely useless experiment. They rebuilt an open source software that was almost certainly in its training data?

Thanks I always needed SQLite to be rewritten in rust… oh wait no I didn’t

Big caveat here (not mentioned in the article) is that SQLite is in the training set for all of these. It’s likely smaller models wouldn’t be as successful at a rewrite task for a thing they had never seen before

Copying something that’s so structured and so well documented is such a specific test case though I don’t really know how relevant the test really is in the wider conversation. It’s basically the perfect scenario

100% bs - their coding models are absolute trash

The main thing I’m not understanding with this is the accuracy vs time. You’re telling me each of these implementations are exactly identical?

composer is so good. $20 cursor plan can do so much!

"look how fast AI recreates this extremely popular open source project it was probably trained on, after we prompted it with the 800 page manual/specification document of the project" I mean I guess... I just realized rust rewrites are also kind of a meme so they might've been trained on that as well

I always tell Fable—do NOT fan out 100 Fable agents! You plan, make opus or sonnet work

yes let's see the code it wrote tho...also using a manual for a literal planner is not a fair test, besides what even was the plan? just copy the steps out of the manual and prompt a model with them

No way the quality is the exact same

Yes I understand that it is cheaper but is it the same quality?

So Opus for planning and Sonnet for coding should be good as we have seen

what harness did they use? Aider?

how about they build something unfamiliar? what is the quality of the code looking like? how much time did it take them? what if we wanted to add a new feature that doesn't even exist yet? those are all questions to be asked here

This is exactly how I’ve been using Fable. It’s actually terrible at implementation. It does 10% of the work and then just gives up. But it’s great for design.

This is just an ad for cursor... they're just trying to show how well their system works. It might be true and it might be wrong depending on how they used it. But, I'll readily admit that Anthropic is really expensive when it comes to tokens, Opus 4.8 feels like 5 times compared to Gpt-5.5 for the same outputs. Fable and Gpt-5.6 sol behave different so that's harder to compare, but here too a massive difference in pricing.

used the promo tokens to ask fable to do some basic data analysis on decent sized chunks of data. it used about $2 per question. again, basic stuff like "create a pivot table"
