alt Hacker News> This stuff is just obvious to anyone working with the latest models. Fully autonomous agents are a game changer.
This kind of takes makes me cringe. Why don't you go back to LinkedIn?
I have no idea what you mean by “pair program with an agent”, but Opus have been able of autonomous coding since last November, and with any half-decent harness even local Qwen3.5 was able to do so 6 months ago.
Fable is a stronger model, which means it can solve harder tasks but it's also over-hyped, because only a small fraction of task is hard enough to be Fable-worthy.
I use Kimi K3, Opus 5, and Fable on a daily basis.
Fable is the only one that reliably one shots complex changes and makes the right design choices. Everything else requires handholding.
I can let Fable loose on a 12+ hour (for AI) task and it will have performed it flawlessly when I come back the next day. K3 and Opus are not like this.
And no, our harness is not the limiting factor here.
