Great progress from Anthropic! They really shouldn't change models from under the hood, however. A name should refer to a specific set of model weights, more or less.

On the other hand, as long as its actually advancing the Pareto frontier of capability, re-using the same name means everyone gets an upgrade with no switching costs.

Though, all said, Claude still seems to be somewhat of an insider secret. "ChatGPT" has something like 20x the Google traffic of "Claude" or "Anthropic".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Opus has been stuck on 3.0, so Sonnet 3.5 is better for most things as well as cheaper.

> Opus has been stuck on 3.0, so Sonnet 3.5 is better So for example, Perplexity is wrong here implying that Opus is better than Sonnet? https://i.imgur.com/N58I4PC.png

Basically yeah

I still feel like the difference between Sonnet and Opus is a bit unclear. Somewhere on Anthropic's website it says that Opus is the most advanced, but on other parts it says Sonnet is the most advanced and also the fastest. The UI doesn't make the distinction clear either. Then on Perplexity, Perplexity says that Opus is the most advanced, compared to Sonnet. And finally, in the table in the blogpost, Opus isn't eve…

Big models / huge models take weeks / month longer than the smaller ones.

Thats why they release them with that skew

Why not rev the numbers? "3.5" vs. "3.5 New" feels weird -- is there a particular reason why Anthropic doesn't want to call this 3.6 (or even 3.5.1)?

Maybe they notice 3.5 Sonnet has become a brand and pivot it away from a version

Is it OS X all over again?

While I was initially impressed with it's context window, I got so sick of fighting with Claude about what it was allowed to answer I quit my subscription after 3 months.

Their whole policing AI models stance is commendable but ultimately renders their tools useless.

It actually started arguing with me about whether it was allowed to help implement a github repository's code as it might be copywritten... it was MIT licensed open source from Google :/
