Why can't they count to 4?
I accepted it when Knuth did it with TeX's versioning. And I sort of accept it with Python (after the 2-3 transition fiasco), but this is getting annoying. Why not just use natural numbers for major releases?

#272Kagi LLM benchmark updated with general purpose and thinking mode for Sonnet 3.7. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llm-benchmark.html Appears to be second most capable general purpose LLM we tried (second to gemini 2.0 pro, in front of gpt-4o). Less impressive in thinking mode, about at the same level as o1-mini and o3-mini (with 8192 token thinking budget). Overall a very nice update, you get higher quality and higher…
Do you think kagi is the right Eval tool? If so,why?

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.
How is it possible that deepseek v3 would be free? It costs a lot of money to host models

#274Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.
What kind of sorcery did you use to create Claude? Honest question :)
Reticulating...
Re: Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
#275It's pretty fascinating to refresh the usage page on the API site while working [0]. After initialization it was up to 500k tokens ($1.50). After a few questions and a small edit, I'm up to over a million tokens (>$3.00). Not sure if the amount of code navigation and typing saved will justify the expense yet. It'll take a bit more experimentation. In any case, the default API buy of $5 seems woefully low to explore t…
It also produces terrible code even though it's supposed to be good for front-end development.
Could you share an example?

#276What I love about their API is the tools array. Given a json schema describing your functions, it will output tool usage appropriate for the prompt. You can return tool results per call, and it will generate a dialog and additional tool calls based on those results.

Thanks! We all dogfood Claude every day to do our own work here, and solving our own pain points is more exciting to us than abstract benchmarks. Getting things done require a lot of booksmarts, but also a lot of "street smarts" - knowing when to answer quickly, when to double back, etc
Could you tell us a bit about the coding tools you use and how you go about interacting with Claude?

Did you guys ever fix the issue where if UK users wanted to use the API they have to provide a VAT number?

#279You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.
This is absolutely hilarious! Thanks for posting. It feels weighted towards some specific things (I assume this is done by the LLM caring about later context more?) - making it debatably even funnier.

Your comments about suburban missile defense systems have the FBI agent monitoring your internet connection seriously questioning their career choices.
You've spent so much time explaining why manufacturing is complex that you could have just built your own CRT factory by now.
You claim to be skeptical of AI hype, yet you've indexed more documentation with Cursor than most people have read in their lifetime.
