@thsottiaux bruv what do you mean similar things

[varsan @varvector]

@denk_tweets @beehiiv tldr, its ok i trust you bro

currently principal engineers are insanely goated coz they are used to building stuff from scratch from the pre AI era wondering how the upcoming ones will be in the next decade.

never get attached to a stealth model, especially one with a countdown

Space Bunny Alpha's stealth period has ended 🐰

Thank you to everyone who put it through its paces and shared feedback. It helped shape the final model.

The model behind it will be revealed soon. Stay tuned.

I mean we all saw this coming in form or another right, though I will miss just tokenbruting all my problems.

Hi,

Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.

Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.

(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.

I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.

Codexingly,
Tibo

been throwing astra at everything. Highly satisfied with the results. if you’ve been only in that Anthropic shell since openai fell off, just try astra for a week.

[varsan @varvector]

opus/fable is still what i’d merge as my first choice. slow, a bit expensive, but the pr is good. BE, FE, greenfield, the actual diff. people counting fixups say fable is like 2 and astra is like 6. yeah it checks out.

FE still bad. greenfield not so good. BE is very good. ui and the clean code still go to claude.
