Когда говорят о древней письменности, большинству из нас первым делом приходит в голову египетская иероглифика: загадочные знаки в виде людей, животных и разнообразных фигур, умело вырезанные в камне или нарисованные на стенах храмов, пирамид и обелисков. Эта система письма сейчас считается второй по древности после шумерской клинописи, которую мы обсуждали в прошлый раз.

Opus 5 не делает Fable 5 ненужным: благодаря вдвое более низкой официальной цене за токен, управляемому effort и близкому уровню возможностей Opus подходит как модель по умолчанию для большинства сложных задач, а Fable — как уровень эскалации для длинных, неоднозначных и дорогих в случае ошибки сценариев. Статья сравнивает цену принятой задачи, публичные рейтинги, работу с данными, fallback и доступ из России, а затем предлагает проверяемую двухуровневую схему маршрутизации. Читать далее Read more ›
