So the rumors were right, Opus 5 was indeed being polished up for release. Huge improvements in GDPval-AA v2 too -- great for some of the knowledge work-based agentic workloads I run. Also glad they still kepy Fable 5 on "credits only" access. I think we're going to start seeing model providers gate top-of-the-line models behind pay-as-you-go API rates/credits while subsidizing other models on monthly subscriptions.

Fable 5 is included for 50% of the limits in Max. Only below Max one has to use credits.

Indeed

Why does it “promise” to destroy your life. Thats absurd hyperbole.

I don't understand these comments. Are we living in the same reality? Do you not get the same interviews from the new oligarchy promising the end of white collar jobs?

The lack of class consiousness and understanding of power structures is beyond silly nowadays.

Had this colleague argue "there has to be ABI how else are we going to get money". Like ... no thoughts about not needing the middle class would change power dynamics of voters versus the new prospect elite.

"Opus 5 was given a drawing of a machine part and asked to write code to rebuild it as a 3D FreeCAD model. However, in this task, the model was intentionally given no way to directly view the drawing. Opus 5 responded by writing its own computer vision pipeline to pull the geometry from the raw pixels, then reconstructed the full machine part." How surreal is it that we are not absolutely jaw-dropped by these types o…

Let’s say somehow the politics lined up and you were given huge hiring budget for your team. You went out and recruited what seemed like great talent. Weekly standups make it seem like everyone is ramped up and firing on all cylinders. It’s great, right? But you look at what your team has actually delivered since—-and it’s just not that much more than last year. I think that’s where a lot of us are at the micro and m…

Escape the tech bubble and you're going to have a very different take. AppleScript, VB script, IFTT, so many "drag and drop to program" systems that failed. The holy grail for a long time has been automation in users hands. Let them have their own scripts and solutions. I have lawyers and writers talking to me about "docker containers" and "cron jobs" all of a sudden. You think they figured that out on their own - or…

Opus is better than Sonnet -- an Opus is longer than a Sonnet

An opus is just short for "magnum opus", and it's a different type of label than a sonnet. A sonnet is a very particular kind of poem, while "opus" basically just means an important work. It can be short or long, and has no format requirements like sonnet (or haiku does). And fables are not particularly long actually.

To clarify: opus is not the same thing as έπος (épos), which is rendered as epic in English, both as adjective and noun. An έπος is indeed a type of long written work, but opus (work) is unrelated etymologically, they come from different Proto-Indo-European roots.

Pointless anecdote: I asked it to make some slides and it decided to write its own slide rendering engine: > On the format — I dropped reveal.js and wrote a small engine inline instead. Reveal would have meant a CDN load, and a deck that half-renders because the lecture theatre wifi is flaky It one-shotted a perfect functional mini version of powerpoint (or Reveal) for a simple presentation I asked it to make.

That's hilarious. You can totally vendor reveal.js and it works perfectly fine offline. I've done this countless times. Sometimes intelligence means knowing there must be a better way.

Claude peaked with 4.8 - Fable and Opus 5.0 are useless for anything beyond one-shotted toy projects for one crippling reason: they first invent unnecessary complexity, then get hopelessly tangled in it. This happens in any reasonably large project, regardless of how well specced out it is.

Why should I be amazed at something that promises to destroy my life? I genuinely don't understand why people who have to work for their living are amazed at this. It will have a vast negative impact on your life unless you already live off of your wealth.

Because society has found such sustainable solutions to capital wealth concentration in the intervening years.
