The leap frogging at this point is getting insane (in a good way, I guess?). The amount of time each state of the art feature gets before it's supplanted is a few weeks at this point. LLMs were always a fun novelty for me until OpenAI DeepResearch which started to actually come up with useful results on more complex programming questions (where I needed to write all the code by hand but had to pull together lots of d…

I've been using it for pre scoping things I have no idea about and rapidly iterating by refeeding it a version with guard rails and conditions from previous chats.

Like I wanted to scope how to build a home made TrueNAS Scale unit, it helped me with a avoiding pitfalls like knowing that I needed two GPUs minimum to run the OS and local llms, and speed up config for a CLI back up of my Dropbox locally(it told me to use the right filesystem format over ZFS to make Dropbox client work).

It has researched how I can structure my web app for building payment system on the web(something I knew nothing about) to writing small tools to talk to my document collection and index them into collections in Anki in one day.

o3 since it can web search while reasoning is a really useful lighter weight deep research

you might like mcp.run, a tool management platform we're working on... totally agree running a process per tool, with all kinds of permissions is nonsensical - and the move to "remote MCP" is a good one! but, we're taking it a step (or two) further, enabling you to dynamically build up a MCP server from other servers managed in your account with us. try it out, or let me get you a demo! this goes for any casual comme…

I meant I wanted to run them synchronously in the same process :)

that's what this does :)

you bundle mcp servers into a profile, which acts as a single virtual mcp server and can be dynamically updated without re-configuring your mcp client (e.g. claude)

the MCP spec as it stands today is pretty half-baked. It’s pretty clear that the first edition was trying to emulate STDIO over HTTP, but that meant holding open a connection indefinitely. The new revision tries to solve this by letting you hold open as many connections as you want! but that makes it vague about message delivery ordering when you have multiple streams open. There even seems to be part of the spec that is logically impossible - people are wrestling with it in the GitHub issues.

which is to say: I’m not sure it actually wins, technically, over the OpenAI/OpenAPI idea from last year, which was at least easy to understand

Gemini 2.5 pro was the moment for me where I really thought “this is where true adoption happens”

All those talks about AI replacing people seemed a little far fetched in 2024. But in 2025, I really think models are getting good enough

I agree with your overall message - rapid growth appears to encourage competition and forces companies to put their best foot forward. However, unfortunately, I cannot shower much praise on Claude 3.7. And if you (or anyone) asks why - 3.7 seems much better than 3.5, surely? - Then I’m moderately sure that you use Claude much more for coding than for any kind of conversation. In my opinion, even 3.5 Haiku (which is a…

3.7 did score higher in coding benchmarks but in practice 3.5 is much better at coding. 3.7 ignores instructions and does things you didn't ask it to do.

3.7 is too overactive

I prefer Gemini 2.5 pro for all code now

None of those reports are any good though. Maybe for shallow research, but I haven't found them deep. Can you share what kind of research you have been trying there where it has done a great job of actual deep research.

I'm echoing this sentiment. Deep Research hasn't really been that good for me. Maybe I'm just using it wrong? Example: I want the precipitation in mm and monthly high and low temperature in C for the top 250 most populous cities in North America. To me, this prompt seems like a pretty anodyne and obvious task for Deep Research. It's long, tedious, but mostly coming from well structured data sources (wikipedia) across…

My wife, who is writing her PhD right now and teaches undergraduate students, says they are at the level of a really bright final year undergrad

Maybe in a year, they’ll hit the graduate level. But we’re not near PhD level yet

I often use Claude 3.7 on programming things never done before. Even extensive search in the web brings up zero hits. I understand that this is very uncommon but my work portfolio is more science than real programming. Claude 3.7 really „thinks“ about the questions i ask. But 3.5 regularly drifts into dream mode if asked anything over it‘s training data. So if you ask for code easy found on the web you will see no difference. Try asking things not so common and you will see a difference
