alt Hacker NewsStill does not crack my hardest nuts. Gave it one of them and it blew through my entire allowance on thinking about one question, with no apparent answer in sight!
I see a lot of people saying they are happy with weaker models, but I am the opposite, I need more strength, more intelligence!
I am quite happy that opus 4.8 can do some medium intelligence problems. And maybe Fable 5 can do some more more of those! I have a lot of problems to solve!

Perhaps you should rephrase those nuts?
I also see a lot of people saying they are happy with weaker models.
At work I had to switch to using GPT 5.4 Mini and Qwen 3.6 27B.
The results were near useless.
The error rate is through the roof, it's constantly incorrect in its conclusions even when investigating very simple issues.
Further the models are too unreliable to even move 20 line snippets around without inadvertently modifying them. Ask them to correct it and they still get it wrong.
Maybe the larger Chinese models are better, but the Mini stuff is next to useless to me.
