I’ve been using Opus 4.6 extensively inside Claude Code via AWS Bedrock with max effort for a few months now (since release). I’ve found a good “personal harness” and way of working with it in such a way that I can easily complete self contained tasks in my Java codebase with ease. Now idk if it’s just me or anything else changed, but, in the last 4/5 days, the quality of the output of Opus 4.6 with max effort has be…

This thread is very confusing. Everyone is saying diametrically opposed things. But I think this may be a clue: AWS bedrock means api billing, no? I’m guessing those complaining about the recently lowered quality of Claude are on subscriptions. And those who are still loving Claude are on work accounts.

Too late, personally after how bad 4.6 was the past week I was pushed to codex, which seems to mostly work at the same level from day to day. Just last night I was trying to get 4.6 to lookup how to do some simple tensor parallel work, and the agent used 0 web fetches and just hallucinated 17K very wrong tokens. Then the main agent decided to pretend to implement tp, and just copied the entire model to each node...

How do you get codex to generate any code? I describe the problem and codex runs in circles basically: codex> I see the problem clearly. Let me create a plan so that I can implement it. The plan is X, Y, Z. Do you want me to implement this? me> Yes please, looks good. Go ahead! codex> Okay. Thank you for confirming. So I am going to implement X, Y, Z now. Shall I proceeed? me> Yes, proceed. codex> Okay. Implementing.…

It's just like subscription based MMORPGs that delay you as much as possible every step of the way because that's the way they can extract more money from you. If you pay for the tokens it's not in their benefit to give you the answer directly.

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…

This is why we took business ethics & I know Dario had to too

How will your project/decision look on the front page of the Wall Street Journal? Well when a whistleblower reveals what everyone knows ($9b->$30b rev jump w/o servers growing on trees simultaneously = tough decisions), it's gonna be public anyway.

I don't really understand Anthropic's pricing model.

https://claude.com/pricing

They have individual, enterprise, and API tiers. Some are subscriptions like Pro and Max, others require buying credits.

Say for my use-case I wanted to use Opus or Sonnet with vscode. What plan would I even look at using?

Funny because many people here were so confident that OpenAI is going to collapse because of how much compute they pre-ordered. But now it seems like it's a major strategic advantage. They're 2x'ing usage limits on Codex plans to steal CC customers and it seems to be working. I'm seeing a lot of goodwill for Codex and a ton of bad PR for CC. It seems like 90% of Claude's recent problems are strictly lack of compute r…

AI is one of the things that you cannot find genuine opinions online. Just like politics. If you visit, say, r/codex, you'll see all the people complaining about how their limits are consumed by "just N prompts" (N is a ridiculously small integer).

It's all astroturfed from all sides.

I've been using up way more tokens in the past 10 days with 4.6 1M context. So I've grown wary of how Anthropic is measuring token use. I had to force the non-1M halfway through the week because I was tearing through my weekly limit (this is the second week in a row where that's happened, whereas I never came CLOSE to hitting my weekly limit even when I was in the $100 max plan). So something is definitely off. and i…

Well I thought maybe Anthropic read this because my weekly limit (which I just hit, 24 hours before it resets), was just set back to 0.

But they're doing it for everyone (Max, Teams, etc). I guess I'm not a special snowflake! Let's hope the usage limits are a bit more forgiving here.

> We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses. Fucking hell. Opus was my go-to for reverse engineering and cybersecurity uses, because, unlike OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Opus didn't care about being asked to RE things or poke at vulns. It would, however, shit a brick and block requests every time something remotely…

To be fair, delineating between benevolent and malevolent pen-testing and cybersecurity purposes is practically impossible since the only difference is the user's intentions. I am entirely unsurprised (and would expect) that as models improve the amount to which widely available models will be prohibited from cybersecurity purposes will only increase. Not to say I see this as the right approach, in theory the two for…

But this technology is now out there, the cat's out of the bag, there's no going back to a world where people can't ask AI to write malware for them.

I'd argue that black hats will find a way to get uncensored models and use them to write malware either way, and that further restricting generally available LLMs for cybersec usage would end up hurting white hats and programmers pentesting their own code way more (which would once again help the black hats, as they would have an advantage at finding unpatched exploits).

Copilot, probably?
