Use Fable 5 where it pays for itself

DEV.to - Trending Guides

Claude Fable 5 is the model I reach for in Claude Code when a task is ambiguous, long-running, or full of tradeoffs — planning across steps, untangling a messy goal, weighing a design choice, keeping a long session pointed in the right direction. It's genuinely good at the hard parts. Which is exact

GLM 5.2 isn't free: not even my US$4,000 Spark can run it

DEV.to - Trending Guides

GLM 5.2 is open source and free to download. Running it is another story. At best it needs around 240 GB of memory, and that's only in its most compressed version. I have a US$4,000 DGX Spark dedicated to this, with 128 GB, and it doesn't have enough to even start. This isn't opinion, it's arithmeti

Stop Making Your AI Coding Agent Grep Your Whole Repo — Try codebase-memory-mcp

DEV.to - Trending Guides

If you use an AI coding agent — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Zed, Aider, whatever — you've probably watched it burn through tens of thousands of tokens just trying to figure out who calls a function or where a route is defined.
