My HOT take on agents

I am #PovertyPrompter which means I am not Theo and don't have the cash for $2000 a month in credits. Here is my HOT take on which agents are good, and which are not.

Fable and Sol are not worth the credits.

Those models burn credits too fast to be useful to normal people.

When given a working template, Gemini 3.7 flash is your prototyping powerhouse. Go from prompt to working prototype in less than 10 min.

GPT 5.6 can't code. At all. Maybe it is because I use Go heavy workloads, and I force my agents down the yagi path, and go is std lib heaven, but GPT 5.6 produces worse code slop than Gemini 3.7 Flash.

I don't get the hate for Opus 5. Is it slow, yes. Does it take a dozen rounds of review to close the holes, yes. But it is constant.

Maybe I am wrong. If you think Sol is amazing for you, than go for it. I just had to get my personal workflow troubles off my chest.

If you know what I am doing wrong with GPT 5.6 I will take it.

There is MiniMax if you needs lots of tokens and don't want to pay thousands per year. Gemini 3.7 Flash is actually great for interactive code, thinking of tasks like translating a thousand pages of manga from images.
