I predict this sort of filtering is only going to get worse. This will probably be remembered as the 'open internet' era of LLMs before everything is tightly controlled for 'safety' and regulations. Forcing software devs to use open source or local models to do anything fun.

What happened to open weight models are 2-3 years behind the proprietary ones? I don't see the drama here.

Serious question about using Claude for coding. I maintain a couple of small opensource applications written in python that I created back in 2014/2015. I have used Claude Code to improve one of my projects with features I have wanted for a long time but never really had the time to do. The only way I felt comfortable using Claude Code was holding its hand through every step, doing test driven changes and manually re…

Interestingly, I started coding with Claude a couple weeks ago (with my only other experience being vbcode 20 years ago) and it's been surprisingly good at starting code from scratch but as soon as the code gets a little complex it takes a lot of tokens to make a simple change which makes it somewhat impractical for all but the most basic applications. That said, I'm not referring to objects by inspecting the code and asking for changes to certain lines, I'm saying "In the results bar, change the title of the result to a clickable link that directs to X." which may require a little translation before Claude picks up on what I want. Even so, I was able to build a somewhat usable application within a week (minus a few bugs).

Anthropic shouldn't have released it. The gains are marginal at best. This release feels more like Opus 4.6 with better agentic capabilities. Mythos is what I expected Opus 4.7 to be. Are users gonna be charged more with this release, for such marginal gains. It could set a bad precedent.

This comment thread is a good learner for founders; look at how much anguish can be put to bed with just a little honest communication. 1. Oops, we're oversubscribed. 2. Oops, adaptive reasoning landed poorly / we have to do it for capacity reasons. 3. Here's how subscriptions work. Am I really writing this bullet point? As someone with a production application pinned on Opus 4.5, it is extremely difficult to tell ap…

These threads are always full of superstitious nonsense. Had a bad week at the AIs? Someone at Anthropic must have nerfed the model! The roulette wheel isn't rigged, sometimes you're just unlucky. Try another spin, maybe you'll do better. Or just write your own code.

Good to remind this. But I also don't want to go back to pre-llm. Some dev activities are just too painful and boring, like correctly writing s3 policies. We must have discipline to decide what is worth our attention and what we should automate, because there is only so much mind energy we can spend each day.

What do you offer as a solution? If theoretically some foreign state intelligence was exposed using Claude for security penetration that affected the stability of your home government due to Antropic's lax safety controls, are you going to defend Anthropic because their reasoning was to allow everyone to be able to do security research?

I don't have an answer.

But the problem is that with a model like Grok that designed to have fewer safeguards compared to Claude, it is trivially easy to prompt it with: "Grok, fake a driver's license. Make no mistakes."

Back in 2015, someone was able to get past Facebook's real name policy with a photoshopped Passport [1] by claiming to be “Phuc Dat Bich”. The whole thing eventually turned out to be an elaborate prank [2].

I'm finding the "adaptive thinking" thing very confusing, especially having written code against the previous thinking budget / thinking effort / etc modes: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/adapti... Also notable: 4.7 now defaults to NOT including a human-readable reasoning token summary in the output, you have to add "display": "summarized" to get that: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-…

Opus keeps pointing out (in a fashion that could be construed as exasperated) that what it's working on is "obviously not malware" several times in a Cowork response, so I suspect the system prompt could use some tuning...

Early benchmark results on our private complex reasoning suite: https://gertlabs.com/?mode=agentic_coding

Opus 4.7 is more strategic, more intelligent, and has a higher intelligence floor than 4.6 or 4.5. It's roughly tied with GPT 5.4 as the frontier model for one-shot coding reasoning, and in agentic sessions with tools, it IS the best, as advertised (slightly edging out Opus 4.5, not a typo).

We're still running more evals, and it will take a few days to get enough decision making (non-coding) simulations to finalize leaderboard positions, but I don't expect much movement on the coding sections of the leaderboard at this point.

Even Anthropic's own model card shows context handling regressions -- we're still working on adding a context-specific visualization and benchmark to the suite to give you the objective numbers there.
