Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
In my opinion and that of the colleagues I’ve spoken with, working with Opus 5 feels like a downgrade compared to Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, and Fable. I’m not claiming a step backwards in capabilities – it is a more capable model than Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8 and even rivals Fable in benchmarks, yet […]

It got there, in part, by exploiting Ruby deserialization to execute commands. That caught our attention, because in 2018 we published the first […]
Show HN: Lumabri – Run Moe Models on a P2P Swarm with Colibri
Run huge mixture-of-experts models from a swarm of peers, with the colibri engine. Pure C, no dependencies. One machine shares a model. Any other machine chats with it.
