I build small software products, mostly solo, mostly in public. Launches, not commits. 🏴‍☠️ 🚣‍♂️

@yashhq_22 ideally audience, but these days both in tandem, all the time

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@claudeai genuine question - if Mythos ("Fable 5") consumes ~2x the tokens of Opus 4.8, does it perform 2x better? Are we to expect a linear relationship between spend and quality? Or marignal improvements 🤔

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@bzagrodzki Hell yea Bart 👏 now to just keep going! Consistency is the name of the game. You’ll get there

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@GrindeOptions Superconductor go down

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@Guronnimo Keep going Jeroen! Consistency pays off in this game. Outside of luck, that’s pretty much it!

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@danshipper @every I’ve noticed the token usage dramatically increased depending on the task. Enough to be trigger discernment when selecting the appropriate model. Feels like bringing the “big guns” out to do the heavy lifting.

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

Mythos available!

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

@zackvoell I know! And it's kind of a trap, one I use to avoid building audience/distribution.. ugh

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@WhiskyToad "Guess I'll just keep going" has more power and wisdom in it than you may currently realize! Congrats

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@Ritesh_Yadav_14 Hellll yeaaa brotherrr!!!!!

i count launches, not commits.

a commit is just you talking to yourself. shipping is the only part a user ever sees.

so i built a wall that only ticks up when something reaches a real person. here's everything so far 👇

@athcanft But! webapps don't have built-in distribution like mobile apps do, which is genuinely harder without pre-existing audience

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@markjivko @izuruike some days, this lol

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

i kinda run 7 projects at once now

make a few calls til i can kick off an agent, don't wait around, jump to the next thing. always thread-switching while the work runs

mfw i realize i'm now a node.js server

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@yashhq_22 hate and love this, as they should

[Ben Poon @mostly_error]

@Tristanrhee3 isn’t it a matter of time
