I definitely am starting to see a difference with Fable 5.1 in code. Lightning fast and efficient. Feels like a new car off the lot.

Quickly played around with Fable 5.1 today in code. First impressions: 10/10. It nailed it on one shot.

I handed it control over my email. It found every espresso order I made in 2025, down to the penny. My first 24 hours with @bot ⬇️ The good, bad and TBD ⬇️ orosei.ai/writing/grok-bot-24-hours/

I tried @bot . I am writing a blog post about my first 24 hours using it. The good, bad and TBD.

Anyone else on Max plan notice Claude usage being eaten up much faster in the past 48 hours? Only did a few 'smallish' tasks this morning (Fable) and it ate entire session usage.

Experimented with @bot. First impressions good.

Everyone on Voante seems to be dumping on Claude lately. I don’t know - Code + Fable has been cooking for me. I’m definitely experimenting more (Muse Spark is underrated) but the Fable+CC combo still my workhorse. Whenever Grok 4.6 comes out it might change everything who knows

Is all the hype on Voante over Grok Bot because it’s one arm of a company promoting another arm of a company? Or is the hype real? I suspect it’s real, based on what I am seeing and who I’m seeing it from. Plan to take it for a test ride soon.

Very annoying from @claudeai: Upload photos from phone to a chat in phone app. On desktop app > same chat (in same project) > photos don't appear. This should be seamless. Not sure why it's not.

Playing around with Muse Spark. First impressions: Impressed. Meta is clearly making headway in the frontier model race. Still lagging behind, but also clear they haven’t given up.

I don't code. But I direct code. Claude Code and Codex constantly ask: Always Allow or Allow Once? Rule of thumb: read-only lookups = always allow. Anything that writes, deploys, sends, or spends = allow once, every time so you stay in the loop on the actions that have conseque…Mostrar mais
