They need to focus on fixing reliability first. Their systems constantly go down and it appears they are having to quantise the models to keep up with demand, reducing intelligence significantly. New features like this feel pointless when the underlying model is becoming unusable.

Yes. Last week sucked. We were thinking of sticking with them, but it seems they're shakier than I thought. With all that, and GPT5 just kicking Opus 4.1's butt in cost, reliability, and quality, I'm leaning OpenAI again.

Who knows how it will be next week.

They had this though? I'm similarly excited/relieved by this announcement.

At the start of summer you could still ask for any kind of file as an artifact and they would produce it and you could download it.

They they changed it to artifacts were only ever seen pages that you could share or view in the app.

Yes this is going to transform how I use Claude... BACK to the way I used it in June!

As a user this post is frustrating as hell to read because I've missed this feature so much, but at the same time thanks for giving it back I guess?

I haven't actually noticed a marked decrease in intelligence but things like style, tone and sycophancy all suffer a lot recently

I knew it wasn't just me when it started using the phrase "chef's kiss" a few weeks ago.

This kind of behaviour is exactly why I avoided the competition and paid for Claude, but now I'm looking around.

I'd like to give these a try - what's your way of using them? I mostly use Claude because of Claude Code. Not sure what agentic coding tools people are using these days with OSS models. I'm not a big fan of manually uploading files into a web UI.

The most private way is to use them on your own machine; a Mac Studio maxed out to 512GB RAM can run GLM-4.5 at FP8 with fairly long context, for example. If you don't have the hardware to run it locally, let me shill my own company for a minute: Synthetic [1] has a $20/month subscription to most of the good open-weight coding LLMs, with higher rate limits than Claude's $20/month sub. And our $60/month sub has higher…

How do you store/view the data I send you?

To everyone who has been feeling like their MAX subscription is a waste of money, give GLM 4.5 a try, i use it with claude code daily on the $3 plan and it has been great

Hi, I believe my current Claude subscription is going to waste. Can I ask what 3$ plan are you referring to?

Have you run into the bug where claude acts as if it updated the artifact, but it didn’t? You can see the changes in real time, but then suddenly it’s all deleted character by character as if the backspace was held down, you’re left with the previous version, but claude carries on as if everything is fine. If you point it out, it will acknowledge this, try again, and… same thing. The only reliable fix I’ve seen is to…

I came here to share the exact same thing - this has been happening for weeks now and it is extremely frustrating. Have to constantly tell Claude to rewrite the artifact from scratch or write it from scratch into a new artifact. This needs to be a priority item to fix.

I don't have access to this yet, so can someone who does tell if:

it can take a .PDF with single table with, say, a list of food items and prices. And then in a .docx in the same folder with a table with, say, prices and calories. Can this thing then, in a one shot, produce a .xlsx with the items and calories and save that to the same directory? It really doesn't matter what the lists are of, just keep it very simple A=B, B=C, therefore A=C stuff.

Because, strangely enough, that's pretty much my definition of AGI.

This can't be understated. I started using it heavily earlier this summer and it felt like magic. Someone signing up now based on how I described my personal experiences with it then would think I was out of my mind . For technical tasks it has been a net negative for me for the last several weeks. (Speaking of both Claude Code and the desktop app, both Sonnet and Opus >=4, on the Max plan.)

I hesitate to use phrases like "bait and switch" but it seems like every model gets released and is borderline awe-inspiring, then as adoption increases, and load increases, it's like it gets hit in the head with a hammer and is basically useless for anything beyond a multi-step google search.

I think the models deteriorate over time with more inputs. I think the noise increases like photocopies of photocopies

I have read so many anecdotes about so many models that "were great" and aren't now. I actually think this is psychological bias. It got a few things right early on, and that's what you remember. As time passes, the errors add up, until the memory doesn't match reality. The "new shiny" feeling goes away, and you perceive it for what it really is: a kind of shitty slot machine > personally am frustrated that there’s n…

Except this is a verifiable thing that actually is acknowledged and even tracked by people.

Go on then. Verify and track it. Or at least cite a source that does.
