Ain't nobody got time to pick models and compare features. It's annoying enough having to switch from one LLM ecosystem to another all the time due to vague usage restrictions. I'm paying $20/mo to Anthropic for Claude Code, to OpenAI for Codex, and previously to Cursor for...I don't even know what. I know Cursor lets you select a few different models under the covers, but I have no idea how they differ, nor do I car…

My impression is that Sonnet and Haiku 4.5 are the same "base models" as Sonnet and Haiku 4, the improvements are from fine tuning on data generated by Opus. I'm a user who follows the space but doesn't actually develop or work on these models, so I don't actually know anything, but this seems like standard practice (using the biggest model to finetune smaller models) Certainly, GPT-4 Turbo was a smaller model than G…
Which is all to say that I think the reason they went from Opus 3 to Opus 4 is because there was no bigger model to fine tune Opus 3.5 with. And I would expect Opus 4 to be much the same.
Sonnet 4.5 is an excellent model for my startup's use case. Chatting to Haiku it looks promising too, and it may be great drop in replacement for some of inference tasks that have a lot of input tokens but don't require 4.5-level intelligence.

I use GitHub Copilot Pro+ because this was my main requirement as well.
Pro+ has the new models as they come out -- actually just enabled Claude Haiku 4.5 for selection availability. I have not yet had a problem with running out of the premium allowance, but from reading how others use these, I am also not a power user type.
I have not yet the CLI version, but it looks interesting. Before the Intellij plugin improved, I would switch to VS Code to run a certain types of prompt then switch back after without issues. The web version has the `Spaces` thing that I find useful for niche things.
I have no idea how it compares to the individual offerings, and based on previous hn threads here, there was a lot of hate for gh copilot. So maybe it's actually terrible and the individual version are lightyears ahead -- but it stays out of my way until I want it and it does its job well enough for my use.
If I'm close to weekly limits on Claude Code with Anthropic Pro, does that go away or stretch out if I switch to Haiku?
How close are you? Oh right, Anthropic doesn't tell you. I got that 'close to weekly limits' message for an entire week without ever reaching it, came to the conclusion that it is just a printer industry 'low ink!' tactic, and cancelled my subscription. You don't take money from a customer for a service, and then bar the customer form using that service for multiple days. Either charge more, stop subsidizing free acc…
> In the system card, we focus on safety evaluations, including assessments of: ... the model’s own potential welfare ... In what way does a language model need to have its own welfare protected? Does this generation of models have persistent "feelings"?
They previously discussed this some in the context of Opus 4: https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations > We remain highly uncertain about the potential moral status of Claude and other LLMs, now or in the future. However, we take the issue seriously, and alongside our research program we’re working to identify and implement low-cost interventions to mitigate risks to model welfare, in case such wel…

simonw has other prompts, that are undisclosed. So cheating on this prompt will be catched.
What? you and I cant see his "undisclosed" tests... but you better be sure that whatever model he is testing is specifically looking for these tests coming in over the api, or you know, absolutely everything for the cops
I am quite confident that they are not cheating for his benchmark, it produces about the same quality for other objects. Your cynicism is unwarranted.

I vastly prefer the manual caching. There are several aspects of automatic caching that are suboptimal, with only moderately less developer burden. I don’t use Anthropic much but I wish the others had manual cache options
What's sub-optimal about the OpenAI approach, where you get 90% discount on tokens that you've previously sent within X minutes?
