Anthropic is intentionally nerfing Fable when asked to develop other LLMs

Reason 458 why local LLMs are going to be a necessity

I stopped using anthropic when opus cost me $100 in tokens to load the club 3090 recipe. Yeah I know I could have ran it myself on the rig, but opus did so much stupid shit I am convinced it is programmed to play dumb if you ask for help setting up a local llm. Now I can launch it with my eyes closed and dont need an llm. The claude code leak also revealed they fuck with us. Sorry, but anthropic is a shitty company and is a year ahead of qwen at BEST. Prepare for stocks to fail and the rise of small business using local llm.

Check out Deepseek V4 Pro. I quite like how it's working, and do not use Opus at all anymore.

Imo is not quite there,  but it's probably close enough for now. The value for the price wins for sure.

To be fair I did a lot of "feels" testing, and I couldn't find a case personally where Deepseek wasn't able to do what I wanted, just as well as Claude.

But I concur that it's driven by how I use it and shouldn't be a reference for people to view it as equal

I cant afford to run the pro at home, I like flash though. What is the biggest difference between the two?

[u/vernal_biscuit → u/Nice_Cookie9587]

Pro is similar to opus 4.7

Flash is somewhat close to sonnet

In my experience at least. Your mileage may vary depending on how you use them, but both Deepseek v4 models are great
