Great progress from Anthropic! They really shouldn't change models from under the hood, however. A name should refer to a specific set of model weights, more or less. On the other hand, as long as its actually advancing the Pareto frontier of capability, re-using the same name means everyone gets an upgrade with no switching costs. Though, all said, Claude still seems to be somewhat of an insider secret. "ChatGPT" ha…

Traveling to the US recently, I was surprised to see Claude ads around the city/in the airport. It seems like they're investing on marketing there. In my country I've never seen anyone mention them at all.

Been traveling more recently, and I've seen those ads in major cities like NYC or San Francisco, but not Miami.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For a company selling intelligence, that's a pretty stupid way of labelling a new product.

It worked for Nintendo. The 3ds and “new 3ds” were both big sellers.

3ds doesn't have a version number to bump. Claude 3.5 does.

Offtopic but youtube doesn't allow me to view the embedded video, with a "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" message. I need to open a dedicated youtube tab to watch it

The barrier to scraping youtube has increased a lot recently, I can barely use yt-dlp anymore

If anyone would like to try the new Sonnet in VSCode. I just updated https://double.bot to the new Sonnet. (disclaimer: I am the cofounder/creator)

Some thoughts:

* Will be interesting to see what we can build in terms of automatic development loops with the new computer use capabilities.

* I wonder if they are not releasing Opus because it's not done or because they don't have enough inference compute to go around, and Sonnet is close enough to state of the art?

Completely irrelevant, and it might just be me, but I really like Anthropic's understated branding. OpenAI's branding isn't exactly screaming in your face either, but for something that's generated as much public fear/scaremongering/outrage as LLMs have over the last couple of years, Anthropic's presentation has a much "cosier" veneer to my eyes. This isn't the Skynet Terminator wipe-us-all-out AI, it's the adorable…

Anthropic has recently begun a new, big ad campaign (ads in Times Square) that more-or-less takes potshots at OpenAI. https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1g9e0za/anthro...

Why not rev the numbers? "3.5" vs. "3.5 New" feels weird -- is there a particular reason why Anthropic doesn't want to call this 3.6 (or even 3.5.1)?

Let's just say that the LLM companies still are learning how to do versioning in a customer friendly way.

Is there an easy way to use Claude as a Co-Pilot in VS Code? If it is better at coding, it would be great to have it integrated.

You can easily use a plugin like https://www.continue.dev/ and configure it to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

For Copilot-like use, Continue is the plugin you're looking for, though I would suggest using a cheaper/faster model to get inline completions.

For Cursor-like use (giving prompts and letting it create and modify files across the project), Cline – previously Claude Dev – is pretty good.

my quick notes on Computer Use:

- "computer use" is basically using Claude's vision + tool use capability in a loop. There's a reference impl but there's no "claude desktop" app that just comes with this OOTB

- they're basically advertising that they bumped up Claude 3.5's screen vision capability. we discussed the importance of this general computer agent approach with David on our pod https://x.com/swyx/status/1771255525818397122

- @minimaxir points out questions on cost. Note that the vision use is very sparing - the loop is I/O constrained - it waits for the tool to run and then takes a screenshot, then loops. for a simple 10 loop task at max resolution, Haiku costs - beating o1-preview on SWEbench Verified without extended reasoning and at 4x cheaper output per token (a lot cheaper in total tokens since no reasoning tokens) is ABSOLUTE mogging

- New 3.5 Haiku is 68% cheaper than Claude Instant haha
