I've personally liked 4.6 the best to date, preferring it by far to 4.7 and 4.8 (even with these on max effort!), both in Claude Code and for non-coding tasks in the chat UIs. Stil…

Well, it is arguable that it is "laughable" that there is a strong push to try and regulate/contain these systems to avoid human extinction when they can't tell you the number of w…

Uhm - maybe train a secondary NN that scores summaries on their factual accurateness/quality? Anything under a given threshold is either sent for manual review or re-ran through th…
