Anthropic is the new king. This isn't even Claude 3.5 Opus and it's already super impressive. The speed is insane. I asked it "Write an in depth tutorial on async programming in Go" and it filled out 8 sections of a tutorial with multiple examples per section before GPT4o got to the second section and GPT4o couldn't even finish the tutorial before quitting. I been a fan of Anthropic models since Claude 3. Despite the…

I agree. I've been really impressed with Anthropic. The issue for me comes when I want to take arbitrary user input and ask Claude questions about the user provided input. Claude is very, very, very ethical. Which is great, but it won't provide a response if the user tends to use a lot of curse words.

Do some masking of curse words with sht, ?!, verybad, or similar? Something that Claude will accept. It might work, if users are just generally badmouthed, not actively trying to trigger the model/system.

Anthropic is the king, but Jensen Huang is the emperor... :-)

I think Anthropic also uses Google TPUs.

I don't think that is the case. AWS is a very significant investor and if you meet with their business development team they will recommend deploying on bedrock (which is Nvidia). There are also press releases like this[1] stating they use Nvidia.

What I understand is that it's GPT 6 that just went into training, and that GPT 5 is complete and being delayed until after the U.S. election.

(assuming you are correct) It says something about how a company feels about the safety of their products when they feel like they should time the releases based on political events.

This is speculation because I don’t think any of the key players ever explicitly stated this is their strategy, but this year it feels like there’s some significant foot dragging on things like Sora and GPT-5. The big AI players really don’t want AI to become an election year punching bag and don’t want any major campaign promises around AI to placate a spooked electorate. And they really don’t want it to be revealed that generative AI powered bot armies outnumber real human political discourse 10-1. And they absolutely do not want an AI generated hoax video to have a measurable effect on the polls.

It’s a stopgap. If we get through this election without a major public freak out, it gives the industry 4 more years to take LLMs out to the point of diminishing returns and figure out safety before we get knee jerk regulation.

And after GPT-5's release, what would be the plan for subsequent elections? This seems to be a temporary play in delaying AI regulation if public sentiment further becomes that AI can have a strong influence in the elections.

It’s absolutely temporary, but 4 years feels like an eternity in this field and the m sure the major players would love to have that much time to entrench themselves before they have to battle “AI ban” legislation.

> Artifacts—a new way to use Claude You can ask Claude to generate docs, code, mermaid diagrams, vector graphics, or even simple games. this is new and I just tried a simple dice roll into a React component, and it works perfectly.

Not listed there and not well known, but I really like that the bigger models know how to produce ArgDown output. You can do things like "give me a detailed/nuanced tree in argdown format for topic: static typing improves development speed". It's quite useful for exploring topics.

Google also has a significant stake and I believe is an early investor.

For Anthropic devs out there: Please consider adopting a naming convention that will automatically upgrade API users to the latest version when available. Eg. there should be just 'claude-sonnet'.

Also for developers - please integrate system TTS (it's free), with configurable speed setting. Ideally I would love to have it start speaking right away, and at 1.5x speedup.

Or at least make it not destroy the text selection when it ends generating a response. I always select and speak the answer, but various LLM UIs are careless about how they update the DOM with respect to text selection stability.

I'm excited to test this out! I've been building an open source TypeScript agentic AI platform for work (DevOps related with an autonomous agent and software engineer workflow). The Claude 3 models had an influence on the design with their tuning on using XML and three levels of capabilities, and have been my preferred models to use. I remember having moments looking at the plans Opus generated and being impressed wi…

From the Anthropic model guide: Agentic Coding Claude 3.5 Sonnet solves 64% of problems on an internal agentic coding evaluation, compared to 38% for Claude 3 Opus. Our evaluation tests a model’s ability to understand an open source codebase and implement a pull request, such as a bug fix or new feature, given a natural language description of the desired improvement. For each problem, the model is evaluated based on…

> The tests are not visible to the model

> The model is allowed to write and run code in an agentic loop and iteratively self-correct during evaluation

What does this mean? How does the model iteratively self-correct without seeing the tests? Can it see the test results?

Opus remained better than GPT for me, even after the release of GPT-4o. VERY happy to see an even further improvement beyond that, Claude is a terrific product and given the news that GPT-5 only began its training several weeks ago I don't see any situation where Anthropic is dethroned in the near term. There are only two parts of Anthropic's offering I'm not a fan of: - Lack of conversation sharing: I had a conversa…

What I understand is that it's GPT 6 that just went into training, and that GPT 5 is complete and being delayed until after the U.S. election.

Anyone want to make a case for Anthropic being undervalued? $7.5 billion raised at an $18.4 billion valuation for Anthropic. $11.3 billion raised at an $80.0 billion valuation for OpenAI.

Look also at revenue - $850m vs $3.5b (from what I could find with a quick search). The numbers change fast, and probably does the valuation.

$850m is revenue projection for end of this year. We don't have actual numbers for now.
