My thoughts on Fable 5: INSANE.
I gave it one prompt : "Build a Mario-style game."
30 minutes later I was literally playing the game.
Then I checked my usage...
13% of my weekly Fable quota for a single generation๐๐๐๐
No wonder they only give us a week to explore it on the current plan.
USA vs China frontier models right now ๐
Grok 4.5 is actually the best price/performance move in the game atm. Strong coding and agentic performance, but way cheaper than Opus 4.8 or GPT-5.5.
Meanwhile Chinese models (especially Qwen 3.7 Max and DeepSeek) are also stupidly good value and closing the gap crazy fast.

@jukan05 The Cursor acquisition was a massive distribution play. If they can pipe that real-time edit history directly into Grok's next training run, Codex is really in trouble.

@TranquilityDraw Palworld has outsold every Pokemon game and is the best selling monster tamer not even out of early access, showing demand for new ideas
A year ago, I thought model quality was the main advantage. Now I think workflow design matters more.
The model is rented, but the architecture is the real deal.
After everything Iโve learned building AI workflows, if I had to start over today, this is the architecture Iโd build.
Not because itโs perfect. Mostly because it would save me from a lot of the mistakes I made early on.
The models we use today will be replaced. Probably sooner than we think.
But good workflow design survives that. Good architecture ages better than model opinions. Thatโs a big reason I spend less time chasing benchmarks now and more time designing systems.
