Thanks guys. So you're both using it for real things not playtime like me! What isn't clear at all (probably deliberately) is things like is best sonnet better/worse than say opus on lowest setting?. Difference in settings is vague anyway - "reasons more" meaning what? it puts 10% more effort in. How would I know it really did "reason more". I think this cloud AI needs new rules on what you actually get for your money - feels a bit make it up as they go along. Still love it - NEW TOY INDEED!

erm just tried ultracode to find a nasty bug.... 70k tokkens gone in 20 seconds! 7 agents on the job. Dont really get how this agent thing works but I;ll let it run and eat my 5hr limit in 10 minutes LOL! 100k! sounds a lot! I always think of it as £'s! 400k!!!

JESUS! As we struggle to maintain 60fps with SO much more added an optimisation loop again. Every trick I can think of discussed with Claude. Gained 30% again!!. Now to use that on expensive effect! Terrain can cast shadows!. That will make it look like the bollocks with bollocks on it looking at bollocks with golden bollocks.

@SimonD if you dont mind me asking what kind of problems do you need fable to look at??. I'm doing a super advanced 3d engine that basically makes 95% of game ones look shit - so I'm curious what task you are doing that requires even more umph than opus (only answer if it's ok of course). I'm just thinking "WTF is HE doing!"

Cost me an F'ing fortune I bet!. But as I said competitive nature of these firms models getting better, hardware costs will come down, more people use it then costs per user must decline. I read something interesting; people are quite loyal to say netflix,apple tv, even sometimes ISP - but for AI no one gives a (expletive deleted) and we whore about for the best deal. If I did a frontier cloud AI I'd name it "Susie does". I reckon I'd pick up a couple of million subscribers from day 1.

Oh I didn't mean free I just meant no subscription but paid API i.e. pay as you go!. Honestly though visually I'm flabbergasted at what can be achieved. But I keep adding more effects and tanking frame rate so another round of optimisations!

This is funny! I screen grabbed a shot for Claude to look at. Unbeknown too me my buildhub page was showing so it got to see my 'signature'. Here's what it said "The note "hoping some hair will grow around it" — if you mean you want vegetation/scatter around the feet to hide the leg-terrain junction, that's a separate feature (prop-adjacent vegetation scatter) I can look at. Want me to?"

Its all still a con tbh. You dont know what anything costs tokenwise even when you've done the task. They change the backend ( certainly in chat they do! ). 5 hr window can be quite 'loose'. Still! As AI compute gets cheaper we ultimately will pay less for better models. Perhaps they'll drop subscription and go fully paid API?. Imagine what fable 3 in 2 yrs time will be like!!!!. Mental now!

yeah my 1st time with calude token wise was fine. Next day I was going to burn my 5 hr limit in about 1 hour. Dropped it to opus medium always clear the context if new subject within project. This seems to have reduced my token burn a lot. Fable; yeah seen some things it's done - insane!. But I'm more than happy with opus 4.8 and what we've achieved - literally makes my jaw hit the floor!

You're back! My loneliness is over!

yes that sums it up exactly. I watched it with no audio and even with subtitles it made little sense - so just like my project. Only the select few get it.

@MikeSharp01 as I said before brilliance and insanity are different sides of the same coin. Alexa/Siri (even the supposed new one with a face) are shite. This is interactive information/private/ secure and beautiful! Every other (expletive deleted)er getting frontier AI to write flappy birds or fix a function or do some AI slop video of Donald Trump being a prick (hang on! thats real) - but now you can create beautiful entities that surpass knowledge. You can place your order now if you like?

Oh that question! I'm on track! So we have 3D amazing world. Alexa/chatgpt subsystem is still in there. When you make a vocal request a sphere (avalon) thats rolling around the landscape will come alive and visually (and audibly ) confirm /acknowledge your request. It then continues on it's infinite plight through infinite worlds. Thought that was obvious ......

I don't understand the question anymore.

@Nickfromwales Love you Uncle Nick. I know you are just liking to support me through a hard time but a comment would be helpful
