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

Anthropic really said here's the smartest model ever built and then lobotomized it 8 minutes after launch. Classic.

I'm sorry I took the money!

CC has >6000 open issues, despite their bot auto-culling them after 60 days of inactivity. It was ~5800 when I looked just a few days ago so they seem to be accelerating towards some kind of bug singularity.

plot twist, it's all claude code instances submitting bug reports on behalf of end users.

It's Claude, all the way down.

claude swe-bench is 80.8 and codex is 56.8 Seems like 4.6 is still all-around better?

Its SWE bench pro not swe bench verified. The verified benchmark has stagnated

Any ideas why verified has stagnated? It was increasing rapidly and then basically stopped.

Does anyone else think its unethical that large companies, Anthropic now include, just take and copy features that other developers or smaller companies work hard for and implement the intellectual property (whether or not patented) by them without attribution, compensation or otherwise credit for their work?

I know this is normalized culture for large corporate America and seems to be ok, I think its unethical, undignified and just wrong.

If you were in my room physically, built a lego block model of a beautiful home and then I just copied it and shared it with the world as my own invention, wouldn't you think "that guy's a thief and a fraud" but we normalize this kind of behavior in the software world. edit: I think even if we don't yet have a great way to stop it or address the underlying problems leading to this way of behavior, we ought to at least talk about it more and bring awareness to it that "hey that's stealing - I want it to change".

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

Here you go: http://localhost:8080

Just took a look at what's running there and it looks like total crap.

The project I'm working on, meanwhile...

Hmm all leaks had said this would be Claude 5. Wonder if it was a last minute demotion due to performance. Would explain the few days' delay as well.

I think the naming schemes are quite arbitrary at this point. Going to 5 would come with massive expectations that wouldn't meet reality.

After the negative reactions to GPT 5, we may see model versioning that asymptotically approaches the next whole number without ever reaching it. "New for 2030: Claude 4.9.2!"

The cost per token served has been falling steadily over the past few years across basically all of the providers. OpenAI dropped the price they charged for o3 to 1/5th of what it was in June last year thanks to "engineers optimizing inferencing", and plenty of other providers have found cost savings too. Turns out there was a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of inference optimization that hadn't been plucked yet. >…

I have not see any reporting or evidence at all that Anthropic or OpenAI is able to make money on inference yet. > Turns out there was a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of inference optimization that hadn't been plucked yet. That does not mean the frontier labs are pricing their APIs to cover their costs yet. It can both be true that it has gotten cheaper for them to provide inference and that they still are subsid…

The evidence is in third party inference costs for open source models.
