Many people have reported Opus 4.6 is a step back from Opus 4.5 - that 4.6 is consuming 5-10x as many tokens as 4.5 to accomplish the same task: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/23706 I haven't seen a response from the Anthropic team about it. I can't help but look at Sonnet 4.6 in the same light, and want to stick with 4.5 across the board until this issue is acknowledged and resolved.
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.
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:/…

I am casually 'researching' this in my own, disorderly way. But I've achieved repeatable results, mostly with gpt for which I analyze its tendency to employ deflective, evasive and deceptive tactics under scrutiny. Very very DARVO. Being just sum guy, and not in the industry, should I share my findings? I find it utterly fascinating, the extent to which it will go, the sophisticated plausible deniability, and the dis…
Sum guy vs. product guy is amusing. :) Regarding DARVO, given that the models were trained on heaps of online discourse, maybe it’s not so surprising.

This is why Yannic Kilcher's gpt-4chan project, which was trained on a corpus of perhaps some of the most politically incorrect material on the internet (3.5 years worth of posts from 4chan's "politically incorrect" board, also known as /pol/), achieved a higher score on TruthfulQA than the contemporary frontier model of the time, GPT-3.

Grok usage is the most mystifying to me. Their model isn't in the top 3 and they have bad ethics. Like why would anyone bother for work tasks.
The X grok feature is one of the best end user feature or large scale genai
Am I missing out?
I always grew up hearing “competition is good for the consumer.” But I never really internalized how good fierce battles for market share are. The amount of competition in a space is directly proportional to how good the results are for consumers.
Remember when GPT-2 was “too dangerous to release” in 2019? That could have still been the state in 2026 if they didn’t YOLO it and ship ChatGPT to kick off this whole race.

Fixed a UI issue I had yesterday in a web app very effectively using claude in chrome. Definitely not the fastest model - but the breathing space of 1M context is great for browser use.
[0] Anthropic have given away a bunch of API credits to cc subscribers - you can claim them in your settings dashboard to use for this.

Which plan did you choose? I am subscribed to both and would love to stick with Claude only, but Claude's usage limits are so tiny compared to ChatGPT's that it often feels like a rip-off.
I signed up for Claude two weeks ago after spending a lot of time using Cline in VSCode backed by GPT-5.x. Claude is an immensely better experience. So much so that I ran it out of tokens for the week in 3 days. I opted to upgrade my seat to premium for $100/mo, and I've used it to write code that would have taken a human several hours or days to complete, in that time. I wish I would have done this sooner.
Cline is not in the same league as codex cli btw. You can use codex models via Copilot OAuth in pi.dev. Just make sure to play with thinking level. This would give roughly the same experience as codex CLI.

Until 2 remain, then it's extraction time.
