> For Opus 4.6, the 1M context window is available for API and Claude Code pay-as-you-go users. Pro, Max, Teams, and Enterprise subscription users do not have access to Opus 4.6 1M context at launch.

I didn't see any notes but I guess this is also true for "max" effort level (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config#adjust-effort-l...)? I only see low, medium and high.

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…

Why does it matter if Claude Code opens in 3-4 seconds if everything you do with it can take many seconds to minutes? Seems irrelevant to me.

Because when the agent is taking many seconds to minutes, I am starting new agents instead of waiting or switching to non-agent tasks

I'm still not sure I understand Anthropic's general strategy right now. They are doing these broad marketing programs trying to take on ChatGPT for "normies". And yet their bread and butter is still clearly coding. Meanwhile, Claude's general use cases are... fine. For generic research topics, I find that ChatGPT and Gemini run circles around it: in the depth of research, the type of tasks it can handle, and the qual…

I kinda agree. Their model just doesn't feel "daily" enough. I would use it for any "agentic" tasks and for using tools, but definitely not for day to day questions.

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

Please drop the link to your course. I'm ready to hand over $10K to learn from you and your LLM-generated guides!

I'm waiting until the $10k course is discounted to 19.99

> We build Claude with Claude. Our engineers write code with Claude Code every day well that explains quite a bit

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

Sounds like a web developer defined the solution a year before they knew what the problem was.

i'd interpret that as rounding error. that is unchanged swe-bench seems really hard once you are above 80%

it's not a great benchmark anymore... starting with it being python / django primarily... the industry should move to something more representative

Openai has; they don't even mention score on gpt-5.3-codex.

On the other hand, it is their own verified benchmark, which is telling.
