simonw hasn't shown up yet, so here's my "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/67c13d9a-3d63-4598-88d0-5...
For comparisonI think the current leader in pelican drawing is Gemini 3 Deep Think: https://bsky.app/profile/simonwillison.net/post/3meolxx5s722...
Somehow it's much better now.
My take away is: it's roughly as good as Opus 4.5. Now the question is: how much faster or cheaper is it?
How can you determine whether it's as good as Opus 4.5 within minutes of release? The quantitative metrics don't seem to mean much anymore. Noticing qualitative differences seems like it would take dozens of conversations and perhaps days to weeks of use before you can reliably determine the model's quality.

An Anthropic safety researcher just recently quit with very cryptic messages , saying "the world is in peril"... [1] (which may mean something, or nothing at all) Codex quite often refuses to do "unsafe/unethical" things that Anthropic models will happily do without question. Anthropic just raised 30 bn... OpenAI wants to raise 100bn+. Thinking any of them will actually be restrained by ethics is foolish. [1] https:/…
Wasn't that most likely related to the US government using claude for large-scale screening of citizens and their communications?
I'm a bit surprised it gets this question wrong (ChatGPT gets it right, even on instant). All the pre-reasoning models failed this question, but it's seemed solved since o1, and Sonnet 4.5 got it right. https://claude.ai/share/876e160a-7483-4788-8112-0bb4490192af This was sonnet 4.6 with extended thinking.
``` Use digit concatenation plus addition: 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000 Digit count:
888 → three 8s
88 → two 8s
8 + 8 + 8 → three 8s
Total: 3 + 2 + 3 = 9 eights Operation used: addition only ```
Love the 3 + 2 + 3 = 9

If you read the resignation letter, they would appear to be so cryptic as to not be real warnings at all and perhaps instead the writings of someone exercising their options to go and make poems
I’m voting with my dollars by having cancelled my ChatGPT subscription and instead subscribing to Claude. Google needs stiff competition and OpenAI isn’t the camp I’m willing to trust. Neither is Grok. I’m glad Anthropic’s work is at the forefront and they appear, at least in my estimation, to have the strongest ethics.

Oddly enough, I feel pretty good about Google here with Sergey more involved.

I noticed a big drop in opus 4.6 quality today and then I saw this news. Anyone else?
