Fable 5’s trial period got an extension. If you had a chance to try it on an existing subscription, you already know whether it worked out for your actual project. There’s no stronger evidence than that. For me, Fable 5’s capability was amazing in its own right — but not at usage-based pricing. A bit…
Anthropic announced Sonnet 5 this week, described to be as capable as Opus 4.8 but cheaper. Rough timing — Fable 5’s return ate all the attention. I haven’t had the chance to do any coding with it in-depth yet. But from the limited exchange I had over chat, Sonnet 5 still struggled with technical specs.…
Apple said Apple Intelligence would bring AI to its brand. It was a broken promise, unless Genmoji is to be considered a success. Apple is now saying the new Siri AI will deliver the promises they made back in 2024. Neither iOS 27 nor macOS Golden Gate has been officially released (available only in beta),…
I thought I’d share some light-hearted news before I can drop the pessimistic read on the tech sector as a whole. Anthropic hasn’t yet shared any update on when the US government’s suspension of Fable 5 will be lifted, but there are communities voicing support for the repeal of the ban, while sharing memes around…
Storage is at an all-time premium nowadays, with even the price of SSDs and HDDs being affected by AI craze. As much as I would love to say ‘rip the discs raw’, there is bound to be a real world limit on how much storage I can secure for a self-hosted media server. My search…
A theory that I had for sometime, originally not for LLMs, but for those who believe LLMs can write perfect codes. LLMs care little about the environment on which the codes will run on. I know the statement alone makes no sense — how can it be considered coding, if it doesn’t work on the…
As I have previously said, I don’t see Claude replacing a proper programmer’s job anytime soon. I am subscribing to meager Pro tier, and that’s nowhere near enough to replace my hobbyist’s job. Granted, there is the joy of not needing to fiddle with technicalities. Being able to implement new algorithm and upgrade existing core…
It has been roughly a week, first week, on the paid subscription LLM service. I did hear good things about Claude, especially its versatility when it comes to answering general questions and coding. For the life of me, I was not satisfied with ChatGPT and Gemini when it came to getting helps on coding, —…
The hallucination in AI, or LLM hallucination, is real. I have read some op-eds and online discussions whether or not hallucinations affect real world use cases — average users making mundane queries. I was on the side of “garbage in, garbage out” camp; hallucination is an expected side effect of the algorithm, and it is…
During my migration from Pi to NAS via all things Docker, one of the problems I immediately faced was how I was going to handle my aging databases. All these eBooks, magazines, articles, and etc. I have accumulated since high school had to go somewhere. I know there would be some people shouting I should…
I’m not particularly a big fan of having a big system storage. Most of my machines usually have 1 TB or less, and when needed, I use external drives or NAS. If you are interested in playing with Ollama, especially with the new Mac Studio, one of the missing key features of Ollama is to…
I don’t particularly appreciate AI in the field of writing. My experience with AI so far as a reader was that it’s either so good you could have hired a squadron of ghost writers with the same budget to run the AI, or it’s so bad you are spamming Google with the AI-generated contents. Ultimately,…
