I struggle to imagine where anthropic is going with sub users... Fable 5 might not be accessible for sub in the future despite their "best effort". And 5.6-sol is as expensive as 5…

If it's the case then software engineers still have the same place as pre-ClaudeCode era, because 4.8 and 5.5 are damn good at algo but notoriously bad at architecture and coordina…

I believe the ideal solution would be to take a genAI image from gpt-image2 and transform it onto a pseudo-deterministic layout. Did anyone tried a non-naive approach, aka throwing…

It's all speculation. Reality is Fable is x2 price increase against previous. GPT5.5 is x2 price increase against previous. And after the last week reset, codex is hungry for your …

A "plans for agents" interface because I'm tired of reading huge markdown plans to iterate on the real work. Is supports infinite 2d space like miro, but has one thread per card, a…

I wonder if profitable means that investment must be recouped or just if your operational expenses must be compensated by your earnings. Anthropic is becoming "profitable" while bu…

I'm making a 3D game and I hate flat worlds, a planet is much more elegant, both finite and infinite in gameplay terms since the surface is not expandable, but you can't hit a worl…

Yes I got how they used the phrase. And it was wrong, so I wanted to react. Thanks for your addition, it dissipates any doubt on the intention of OP: he thinks Anthropic is hiding …

I agree, saying "it's clear" when at best, "it's plausible" doesn't let the conversation happen. And pretending to know what is going on behind the scene, anon on HN is not credibl…

It's not clear, there is no tangible proof that Mythos is not released because they don't have compute power to serve it. Saying that would imply that the "too dangerous" is a lie.…

Unsure about that, opus was already insanely good and we got it for a fractional cost via subscriptions. They want the plebs, they want the mass.

Yeah and apparently, Mythos is pretty effective at finding critical issues. So it seams to be a good product served with a genius offer. Anthropic founding engineers are already co…

I don't have enough elements to conclude if the world would collapse if Mythos was released publicly without Glasswing. Nor publicly or in my internal reasoning. I rarely conclude …

Where did I use the word scam? Marketing move doesn't mean scam. It describe the ability to sell people over a narrative and surpassing your competitor in market share. And that's …

Here spoke the wise man!

It is not "clear", as your comment suggests, it's hidden. Which is semantically the opposite of clear. Regarding your theory, might be true, might be false. But it's highly specula…

Genius^2

Our game is to craft shit, their game is to sell shit. You gotta respect the different tastes in the nature!

Genius marketing move doesn't mean there is no value. It means than even if the value you offer is similar as your competitors, you are the one conquering the market. That's the on…

Urgency x scarcity, unbeatable marketing move.

Step 1: claim you created a tool so dangerous you can't release it Step2: offer to test it, but only for the biggest companies in the world Step 3: onboard those big players on you…

I'm crafting a fairly complex dev tool which would have took years to develop (local/remote multi session clodex agents). I have a background of 40k normal coding hours, vibed 1k h…

I have a rule for Claude to stop watermarking the commits. I feel exposed when it's doing it and I rewrote the entire Claude assisted commit history after switching from Copilot to…

Now dig into copilot plus and how they price the premium requests. The math is not mathing, they are aggressively trying to capture the market.

If you check the actual tokens consumption and compare it to the API you will find a factor 10. Training models cost tens of millions, their revenues from sub + api are well above …
