Comparing Models on Real-World Troubleshooting
vxntedits · reddit · 2026-07-12
A user tested two frontier models in parallel using a real-world Windows 11 troubleshooting task.
- The task was highly complex, involving Windows Defender, drivers, dependency failures, and race conditions specific to certain installations.
- The author ran Fable-Ultracode and Sol-Ultra on separate branches for parallel analysis.
- Sol not only caught subtle errors made by Fable but also outperformed it in reasoning speed, efficiency, and cost.
- While the author held off on final conclusions, the experience was highly impressive.
