@CitySingul11493 @dedene same, but seems that for coding specifically xhigh might actually sometimes be... worse?

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

These charts have me thinking

- Opus 5.5 xhigh/max for coding is probably shooting yourself in the foot
- high might be worth it for some incremental accuracy
- medium is goldilocks zone

Surely that can't be it?

[Claude @claudeai]

Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally, addressing some of the most common feedback we heard on Opus 5.

It puts the most important information up front and follows the writing rules you give it, which makes long sessions easier to follow.

@kimmonismus @seacomit What effort level are you guys using?

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

@IndependentEco I've been running on xhigh, because higher efforts usually have been worth in on my projects

but maybe i do need to test lower

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

Is it just me or is Opus 5.5 actually slower than Fable?

So far enjoying working with it... everything just seems to take longer, especially on large tasks.

[Peter Dedene @dedene]

Honest question: if Opus 5.5 beats Fable 5.1 on intelligence, speed and cost... where does Fable still make sense?

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

First impressions working with Opus 5.5 vs Fable 5.1

Pros:
- as smart if not smarter than Fable
- better at design
- less claude-speak
- more intuitive and proactive
- waaay more cost-efficient

Cons:
- even more self-righteous 🤦🏻 proactive about what it won't do because of T&Cs it found

@larrykim Also the top four in mobile phones with keyboards

And top five in search engine technology

@RossHudgens @asmartbear Excellent point on the trap of optimizing for low quality traffic.

Pushing people who won’t convert further down the funnel ruins the funnel for real buyers.

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

@LawyerTanaka Excellent points. The policy clearly opens transfusions up for JWs.

But the announcement was worded in a way that some will interpret it as "perhaps still not ok".

Seems intentionally confusing

Interesting Jev idea - compaction

[tamara @tamarajtran]

found the perfect use case for @typesafeai Jev:

instant compaction

in 2026, why is compaction still a summarization prompt?

Jev can make it instant by scoring every tool call and dropping what’s irrelevant

Subagents in codex have only been around for 6 months.

How did we get anything done before that

@JamesMumma @sab8a what was it? not weekly trips?

supply of software has increased, but demand hasn't

it's Buffet's "standing on tiptoe at a parade" situation
- one person stands on their tiptoes
- the person behind them responds by doing the same
- suddenly everyone is doing it but no one is seeing any better

startups can now throw more code at a problem, but so can everyone else

more resources used, but still fighting for the same wallets

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

@thekitze ideas are cheap. only execution matters

i've always liked to think about it like this:
- don't worry about sharing your idea. the vast majority of people can't and won't execute it
- the people who CAN execute, have too many ideas to handle. they don't need to steal one more

[Nemek Nowaczyk @nemekn]

@LDT0545 $200 million/month for truly unlimited codex would be a great deal
