OpenAI has always priced newer models lower than older ones.
https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing Not according to their pricing table. Then again I’m not sure what OpenAI model versions even mean anymore, but I would assume 5.2 is in the same family as 5 and 5.2-pro as 5-pro

"you can review code just fine even if you struggle to write it." Well, merely approving code takes no skill at all.
HN should ban any discussion on “things I learned playing with AI” that don’t include direct artifacts of the thing built. We’re about a year deep into “AI is changing everything” and I don’t see 10x software quality or output. Now don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of AI tooling and think it does meaningfully increase value. But I’m damn tired of all the talk with literally nothing to show for it or back it up.

The “tenacity” referenced here has been, in my opinion, the key ingredient in the secret sauce of a successful career in tech, at least in these past 20 years. Every industry job has its intricacies, but for every engineer who earned their pay with novel work on a new protocol, framework, or paradigm, there were 10 or more providing value by putting the myriad pieces together, muddling through the ever-waxing complexity, and crucially never saying die.
We all saw others weeded out along the way for lacking the tenacity. Think the boot camp dropouts or undergrads who changed majors when first grappling with recursion (or emacs). The sole trait of stubbornness to “keep going” outweighs analytical ability, leetcode prowess, soft skills like corporate political tact, and everything else.
I can’t tell what this means for the job market. Tenacity may not be enough on its own. But it’s the most valuable quality in an employee in my mind, and Claude has it.

Why not? You can select Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, and others.
Claude Code is a CLI tool which means it can do complete projects in a single command. Also has fantastic tools for scaffolding and harnessing the code. You can define everything from your coding style to specific instructions for designing frontpages, integrating payments, etc. It's not about the model. It's about the harness

I'm afraid that we're entering a time when the performance difference between the really cutting edge and even the three-month-old tools is vast If you're using plain vanilla chatgpt, you're woefully, woefully out of touch. Heck, even plain claude code is now outdated
Why is plain Claude code outdated? I thought that’s what most people are using right now that are AI forward. Is it Ralph loops now that’s the new thing?
At a base level, people are “upgrading” their Claude Code with custom skills and subagents - all text files saved in .claude/agents|skills.
You can also use their new tasks primitive to basically run a Ralph-like loop
But at the edges, people are using multiple instances, each handling different aspects in parallel - stuff like Gas Town
Tbf you can still get a lot of mileage out of vanilla Claude Code. But I’ve found that even adding a simple frontend design skill improves the output substantially
I wish the people who wrote this let us know what king of codebases they are working on. They seem mostly useless in a sufficiently large codebase especially when they are messy and interactions aren't always obvious. I don't know how much better Claude is than ChatGPT, but I can't get ChatGPT to do much useful with an existing large codebase.

With optimizations and new hardware, power is almost a negligible cost. You can get 5.5M tokens/s/MW[1] for kimi k2(=20M/KWH=181M tokens/$) which is 400x cheaper than current pricing. It's just Nvidia/TSMC/other manufacturers eating up the profit now because they can. My bet is that China will match current Nvidia within 5 years.
