> "[..] in developing our reasoning models, we’ve optimized somewhat less for math and computer science competition problems, and instead shifted focus towards real-world tasks that better reflect how businesses actually use LLMs.” This is good news. OpenAI seems to be aiming towards "the smartest model," but in practice, LLMs are used primarily as learning aids, data transformers, and code writers. Balancing "intell…

Claude 3.5 has been fantastic in Windsurf. However, it does cost credits. DeepSeek V3 is now available in Windsurf at zero credit cost, which was a major shift for the company. Great to have variable options either way.

I’d highly recommend anyone check out Windsurf’s Cascade feature for agentic-like code writing and exploration. It helped save me many hours in understanding new codebases and tracing data flows.

> Its not AI AI is a very broad term with many different definitions.

it does seem disingenuous for something without intelligence to be called intelligence

I feel like you're nitpicking. Intelligence is ALSO a broad term with no singular consensus on what it means or what it is.

The progress in AI area is insane. I can't keep up with all the news. And I have work to do...

It stopped being revolutionary and is now mostly evolutionary, though.

it's been evolutionary for a long time. I fine-tuned a GPT-2 based chat bot that could form complete sentences back in like 2017

It's been so long that I'm not even certain which YEAR I set that up.

This AI race is happening so fast. Seems like it to me anyway. As a software developer/engineer I am worried about my job prospects.. time will tell. I am wondering what will happen to the west coast housing bubbles once software engineers lose their high price tags. I guess the next wave of knowledge workers will move in and take their place?

Haven't had time to try it out, but I've built myself a tool to tag my bookmarks and it uses 3.5 Haiku. Here is what it said about the official article content:

I apologize, but the URL and page description you provided appear to be fictional. There is no current announcement of a Claude 3.7 Sonnet model on Anthropic's website. The most recent Claude 3 models are Claude 3 Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, released in March 2024. I cannot generate a description for a non-existent product announcement.

I appreciate their stance on safety, but that still made me laugh.

It's fascinating how close these companies are to each other. Some company comes up with something clever/ground-breaking and everyone else has implemented it a few weeks later. Hard not to think of Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns.

Where RL can play into post training there's something of an anti-moat. Maybe a "tow rope"?

Let's say OAI releases some great new model. The moment it becomes available via API, everyone else can make use of that model to create high-quality RL training data, which can then be used to make their models perform better.

The very act of making an AI model commercially available is the same act which allows your competitors to pull themselves closer to you.

It’s extremely unlikely that everyone is copying in a few weeks for models that themselves take many weeks if not longer to train. Great minds think alike, and everyone is influencing everyone. The history of innovation is filled with examples of similar discoveries around the same time but totally disconnected in the world. Now with the rate of publishing and the openness of the internet, you’re only bound to get ev…

Isn't the reasoning thing essentially a bolt-on to existing trained models? Like basically a meta-prompt?

The fundamental innovation is training the model to reason through reinforcement learning; you can train existing models with traces from these reasoning models to get you within the same ballpark, but taking it further requires you to do RL yourself.

Claude 3.5 sonnet has been my go to for coding tasks, it’s just so much better than the others.

but I’ve tried using the api in production and had to drop it due to daily issues: https://status.anthropic.com/

compare to https://status.openai.com/

any idea when we’ll see some improvements in api availability or will the focus be more on the web version of claude?
