Nice to finally have a name for something sitting in our R&D logs since Nov 2024 - Fable-5 level outcomes with Fusion as OpenRouter calls it ( Concept of Multi LLM harness for better output) Btw “Harness” term didn’t exist publicly until few months later.

Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market. Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price. How it works 👇

the class of 2026 is being underestimated - the best of them are ambitious enough to work on the most important dynamism / ai research / business problems, are fluent in working with machine intelligence and are entering the workforce during a positive technology cycle, and at a time when the stock market is at an all time high the “olds” who came before them are going through the same moral panic that they always have, namely that these engineers aren’t doing “real” technical work - machine code programmers lamented about assembly, assembly programmers about C, C programmers about C++, and god forbid you should be a java programmer that doesn’t know how to manage memory plus there is a flattening of organizations that should really benefit new graduates - more IC work, less clumsy or poorly trained middle managers on whom your career growth tragically depends what i'd tell a new grad right now: - trust your weird interests. soundcloud and calm were both founded in the five years after i dismissed music and meditation as "not serious markets." - say the thing, do the thing. be the founder in the room. you don't need permission to have a point of view, now more so than ever. - use every product obsessively.. intuition compounds and getting there 3 months early is a lifetime right now the kids are gonna be alright!
