Devin’s “unsolved problems” claim gets mocked as just Fable plus a few backend calls

A reply mocks claims that Devin solved open problems, arguing that the backend is really just Fable plus about 5.6 calls.
The joke follows a post bragging that Devin had “cracked” three long-standing graph theory problems by feeding it the original tweet and asking it to find similar problems and solve them. It reads like an anti-hype take on agent marketing.
