LLM

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.

Qwen3.8-27B runs on consumer hardware under Apache 2.0. I tested it on a 24GB M4 — here's the real RAM, speed and privacy picture, minus the hype.

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.

DeepSeek V5 has no announced release date. Here's what the July 24 deprecation actually means, plus V4 Pro pricing, vision API status, and Claude vs GPT-5.

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.
