They need to focus on fixing reliability first. Their systems constantly go down and it appears they are having to quantise the models to keep up with demand, reducing intelligence significantly. New features like this feel pointless when the underlying model is becoming unusable.

This can't be understated. I started using it heavily earlier this summer and it felt like magic. Someone signing up now based on how I described my personal experiences with it then would think I was out of my mind. For technical tasks it has been a net negative for me for the last several weeks.

(Speaking of both Claude Code and the desktop app, both Sonnet and Opus >=4, on the Max plan.)

What does it mean to quantise a model?

Did anyone else find it bizarre that the user explicitly asked for an Excel document but got a Google Sheet instead?

It created an XLSX file, but the user selected the Google Drive button to open it there. If you're talking about the video.

In the video? It shows that it's an XLSX file, but they used the option to load it into Google Sheets. If you download it, it appears it'd be an XLSX.

One step closer to mass unemployment, yay!

That doesn't make any sense and isn't an appropriate comment for this discussion.

The Anthropic product adding a feature is not the end of employment or even a step along the way.

MOST PEOPLE can't even use an actual computer yet even think about programming.

WYSIWYG editors didn't kill web development because most people are simply too stupid to understand a new tool, let alone use it.
