I got this working with my LLM tool (new plugin version: llm-anthropic 0.14) and figured out a bunch of things about the model in the process. My detailed notes are here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/25/llm-anthropic-014/ One of the most exciting new capabilities is that this model has a 120,000 token output limit - up from just 8,000 for the previous Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and way higher than any other model…
How much did it cost?
schemesh is lisp in your shell. Most of the bash syntax remains.
Claude was okay with lisp, but understanding the gist of schemesh, it fount it really hard - even when I supplied the git source code.
ChatGPT O3 (high) had similar issues.

LLMs are fundamentally a new paradigm, it just isn't distributed yet. It's not like the web suddenly was just there, it came slow at first, then everywhere at once, the money came even later.
The LLMs are quite widely distributed already, they're just not that impactful. My wife is an accountant at a big 4 and they're all using them (everyone on Microsoft Office is probably using them, which is a lot of people). It's just not the earth shattering tech change CEOS make it to be , at least not yet. We need order of mangitude improvements in things like reliability, factuality and memory for the real economi…
Originally electric generators merely replaced steam generators but had no additional productivity gains, this only changed when they changed the rest of the processes around it.

Why not just open source Claude Code? people have tried to reverse eng the minified version https://gist.githubusercontent.com/1rgs/e4e13ac9aba301bcec28...
Paste it into Claude and ask it to made the minified code more readable ;) Agree the code should just be open source but there's nothing secretive that you can't extract manually.
You 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.
Okay, I feel like there might've been a breakthrough here. After watching Karpathy's video [0], he mentioned how hard it is for LLMs to have humor and be funny but it seems like Claude 3.7 really nailed it this time? Like, most of these posts are legit funny. [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xTGNNLPyMI
A lot of comedy involves punching down in a way that likely conflicts with the alignment efforts by mainstream model providers. So the comedic potential of LLMs is probably even greater than what we've seen.

Yudkowsky just mentioned that even if LLM progress stopped right here, right now, there are enough fundamental economic changes to provide us a really weird decade. Even with no moat, if the labs are in any way placed to capture a little of the value they've created, they could make high multiples of their investors' money.
It's an echo chamber. It is - what? - a fifth anniversary of "the world will be a completely different place in 6 months due to AI advancement"? "Sam Altman believes AI will change the world" - of course he does, what else is he supposed to say?
At some point fairly recently, we passed the point at which things that took longer than anyone thought they would take are happening faster than anyone thought they would happen.

Like what economic changes? You can make a case people are 10% more productive in very specific fields (programming, perhaps consultancy etc). That's not really an earthquake, the internet/web was probably way more significant.
Very limited thinking AI is a tool

Interesting that the "correct diff format" score went from 99.6% with Claude 3.5 to 93.3% for Claude 3.7. My experience with using claude-code was that it consistently required several tries to get the right diff. Hopefully all that will improve as they get things ironed out.
That's a file context problem because you use cursor or cline or some other crap context maker. Try Clood. Unless "anthropic high usage" which I just watch the incident reports I one shot features regularly. At a high skill level. Not front end. Back end c# in a small but great framework that has poor documentation. Not just endpoints but full on task queues. So really, it's a context problem. You're just not laser f…

As a Claude Pro user, one of the biggest problems I have with day to day use of Sonnet is running out of tokens, and having to wait several hours. Would this new deep thinking capability just hit this problem faster?
