They can’t allow third party software because the third parties save the outputs of Claude responses and distill them into new models to compete with Claude.
This distilling sounds wonderful to me as an end user. Is there some place we can donate our chats and output?
LLMs and LLM providers are massive black boxes. I get a lot of value from them and so I can put up with that to a certain extent, but these new "products"/features that Anthropic are shipping are very unappealing to me. Not because I can't see a use-case for them, but because I have 0 trust in them: - No trust that they won't nerf the tool/model behind the feature - No trust they won't sunset the feature (the graveya…

>You can lessen your dependence on the specific details of how /loop, code routines, etc. work by asking the LLM to do simpler tasks, and instead, having a proper workflow engine be in charge of the workflow aspects. Or, you know, by writing the code yourself?
"You can lessen your dependence on a specific LLM implementation by not using LLMs" is certainly a take but it doesn't really address the root issue of models getting nerfed to save resources after they've gained wide adoption.
Taking a moment to create a workflow where these steps are separated (or rather, having an LLM build this workflow) and the LLMs are asked to just do minor leaf tasks increases your resilience to nerfed models.

Hmm, I can't edit the original comment to retract that edit either. Either my account is flagged for something or HN is being weird.

This is one of the best features of OpenClaw - makes sense to swipe it into Claude Code directly. I wonder if Anthropic wants to just make claude a full stand-in replacement for openclaw, or just chip away at what they think the best features are, now that oAI has acquired.
What are some of the best use cases you've found? I have some gh actions set up to call claude code, but those have already been possible.

I'm the first to be tired of everyone, for every model, that says "uuuh became dumber" because I didn't believe them ... until this week! Opus is struggling worse than Sonnet those last two weeks.
Likewise, I foolishly assumed everybody else was just doing it wrong. But this week I've lost count of the times I've had to say something along the lines of: "Can you check our plan/instructions, I'm pretty sure I said we need to do [this thing] but you've done [that thing]..." And get hit with a "You're absolutely right...", which virtually never happened for me. I think maybe once since Opus 4-6.

I've been talking to friends about this extensively, and read all sorts of different social media posts on X where people deep dove things (I'm at work so I don't have any links handy - though I did submit one on HN, grain of salt, unsure how valid it is but it was interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47752049 ). I think the real issue stems from the 1 Million token context window change. They did not an…
The future of harnesses cannot be „resend the whole history on every step“ or whatever this terrible compaction is. Most of the context is unstructured fluff, much of it is distracting or even plain wrong. Especially the „thinking“ tokens are often completely disjoint halucinations that don’t make any sense. I think what will have to happen is that context looks less like a long chat and action log and more like a st…
You'd think that if they were compute-limited ... Trying to get people to use it less ... The rational thing to do would be to not ship features that will use more compute automatedly? Or does this use extra usage?

It's bad at long running tasks.
Yes and no. It's bad because of shorter context but it does have auto-compaction which was much better than Claude. If you provide it documentation to work from and re-reference, it works long-running. Honestly - 'every inch of IQ delta' seems to be worth it over anything else. I'm a long time Claude Code supporter - and I'm ashamed to admit how instantly I dropped it when discovering how much better 5.4 is. I don't…
