AI Coding

I used Claude Fable 5.1 to build an image codec that beats WebP and a full agency-grade site. Here's what changed from Fable 5, and what it cost.

I spent a week with the Pi coding agent. The CLI is good, not revolutionary — the TypeScript SDK is what makes it worth switching. Setup, extensions, and a working build.

I ran Alibaba's new 2.4T Qwen3.8-Max-Preview through 4 real coding tests. Results rival Fable 5 and Grok 4.5 — with one big catch: speed.

I ran Grok 4.5 through my usual coding tests — website builds, a Go poker sim, a site audit. It's fast, cheap, and it found a bug no other model caught.

I tested Microsoft's MAI-Code-1-Flash coding model on real projects. Fast and cheap, yes, but here's why I won't be switching from Kimi K2.7 Code.

My hands-on Claude Fable 5 review. I ran my usual coding tests and it one-shotted a poker sim no model ever beat. Best coding model yet, with caveats.

I ran my usual coding tests — two websites, a poker sim, and a code audit. Here's how MiniMax M3 actually stacks up against GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8.

OpenCode Go gives you 7 Chinese AI coding models for $10/month. After a week of real use, here's what works, what doesn't, and who it's actually for.
