I only had time to use it for a couple of deep reviews of large Rust projects, and a few agentic coding tasks (implement plan X, refactor Y in fashion Z) before my quota ran out. My impression is that the reviews were quite strong - maybe Opus 4.8+ or around GPT 5.5 (for my particular use case) - but very slow. For implementation I found it weaker, it made a few mistakes that I haven't seen frontier models make in a long time.

As a developer outside the US I think it's vital to have alternatives to OpenAI and Anthropic, but sadly this is not it. For $200/month you get < 3 hours of use per week, the API is extremely slow, and the output quality in my tests is nowhere near Fable. It's nowhere remotely near usable as a day-to-day workhorse. Very disappointing.

I'm sorry, but we can tell absolutely nothing about Gary Marcus from this. People should have a look at the final data:

https://github.com/davegoldblatt/marcus-claims-dataset/blob/...

Many of the "supported" claims here are vague, banal, obvious, or just opinion. E.g.

"the general public hasn't quite realized what's not possible yet"

"loads of things scale, but not at all"

"To be sentient is to be aware of yourself in the world; LaMDA simply isn't."

"To date, nobody, ever, has given a convincing and thorough account of how human children (and human children alone) learn language."

"A cat holding a remote control shouldn't have a human hand."

"What I didn't see last night was vision" (about Tesla Optimus)
