Claude Code release notes: > Version 2.1.32: • Claude Opus 4.6 is now available! • Added research preview agent teams feature for multi-agent collaboration (token-intensive feature, requires setting CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1) • Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works • Added "Summarize from here" to the message selector, allowing partial conversation summarization. • Skills defi…

> Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works Neat: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory I guess it's kind of like Google Antigravity's "Knowledge" artifacts?

Is there a way to disable it? Sometimes I value agent not having knowledge that it needs to cut corners

Also explains why Claude Code is a React app outputting to a Terminal. (Seriously.)

Same with opencode and gemini, it's disgusting Codex (by openai ironically) seems to be the fastest/most-responsive, opens instantly and is written in rust but doesn't contain that many features Claude opens in around 3-4 seconds Opencode opens in 2 seconds Gemini-cli is an abomination which opens in around 16 second for me right now, and in 8 seconds on a fresh install Codex takes 50ms for reference... -- If their m…

Great question, and my guess:

If you build React in C++ and Rust, even if the framework is there, you'll likely need to write your components in C++/Rust. That is a difficult problem. There are actually libraries out there that allow you to build web UI with Rust, although they are for web (+ HTML/CSS) and not specifically CLI stuff.

So someone needs to create such a library that is properly maintained and such. And you'll likely develop slower in Rust compared to JS.

These companies don't see a point in doing that. So they just use whatever already exists.

It’s extremely successful, not sure what it explains other than your biases

Microsoft's products are also extremely successful they're also total garbage

but they have the advantage of already being a big company. Anthropic is new and there's no reason for people to use it

Impressive that they publish and acknowledge the (tiny, but existent) drop in performance on SWE-Bench Verified between Opus 4.5 to 4.6. Obviously such a small drop in a single benchmark is not that meaningful, especially if it doesn't test the specific focus areas of this release (which seem to be focused around managing larger context). But considering how SWE-Bench Verified seems to be the tech press' favourite be…

Isn't SWE-Bench Verified pretty saturated by now?

Depends what you mean by saturated. It's still possible to score substantially higher, but there is a steep difficulty jump that makes climbing above 80%ish pretty hard (for now). If you look under the hood, it's also a surprisingly poor eval in some respects - it only tests Python (a ton of Django) and it can suffer from pretty bad contamination problems because most models, especially the big ones, remember these repos from their training. This is why OpenAI switched to reporting SWE-Bench Pro instead of SWE-bench Verified.

This is huge. It only came out 8 minutes ago but I was already able to bootstrap a 12k per month revenue SaaS startup!

Joke's on you, you are posting this from inside a high-fidelity market research simulation vibe coded by GPT-8.4.

On second thought, we should really not have bridged the simulated Internet with the base reality one.

Ted Faro, is that you?!

A-tier reference. For the unaware, Ted Faro is the main antagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, and there's a whole subreddit just for people to vent about how awful he is when they hit certain key reveals in the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckTedFaro/

The best reveal was not that he accidentally liquified the biosphere, but that he doomed generations of re-seeded humans to a painfully primitive life by sabotaging the AI that was responsible for their education. Just so they would never find out he was the bad guy long after he was dead. So yeah, fuck Ted Faro, lol.

It only came out 35 minutes ago and GPT-5.3-codex already took the crown away!

Why are you posting the same message in every thread? Is this OpenAI astroturfing?

You cannot out-astroturf Claude in this forum, it is impossible.

Anyways, do you get shitty results with the $20/month plan? So did I but then I switched to the $200/month plan and all my problems went away! AI is great now, I have instructed it to fire 5 people while I'm writing this!

Amateur. Opus 4.6 this afternoon built me a startup that identifies developers who aren’t embracing AI fully, liquifies them and sells the produce for $5/gallon. Software Engineering is over!

Opus 4.6 agentically found and proposed to my now wife.

The cost per token served has been falling steadily over the past few years across basically all of the providers. OpenAI dropped the price they charged for o3 to 1/5th of what it was in June last year thanks to "engineers optimizing inferencing", and plenty of other providers have found cost savings too.

That does not mean the frontier labs are pricing their APIs to cover their costs yet. It can both be true that it has gotten cheaper for them to provide inference and that they still are subsid…

They are for sure subsidising costs on all you can prompt packages (20-100-200$ /mo). They do that for data gathering mostly, and at a smaller degree for user retention.

> evidence at all that Anthropic or OpenAI is able to make money on inference yet.

You can infer that from what 3rd party inference providers are charging. The largest open models atm are dsv3 (~650B params) and kimi2.5 (1.2T params). They are being served at 2-2.5-3$ /Mtok. That's sonnet / gpt-mini / gemini3-flash price range. You can make some educates guesses that they get some leeway for model size at the 10-15$/ Mtok prices for their top tier models. So if they are inside some sane model sizes, they are likely making money off of token based APIs.
