Is there a way to disable it? Sometimes I value agent not having knowledge that it needs to cut corners

90-98% of the time I want the LLM to only have the knowledge I gave it in the prompt. I'm actually kind of scared that I'll wake up one day and the web interface for ChatGPT/Opus/Gemini will pull information from my prior chats.

They already do this

I've had claude reference prior conversations when I'm trying to get technical help on thing A, and it will ask me if this conversation is because of thing B that we talked about in the immediate past

Specifically including routing (i.e. which model you route to based on load/ToD)? PS - I appreciate you coming here and commenting!

There is no routing with API, or when you choose a specific model in chatGPT.

Would love to find out they're overfitting for pelican drawings.

The estimation I did 4 months ago: > there are approximately 200k common nouns in English, and then we square that, we get 40 billion combinations. At one second per, that's ~1200 years, but then if we parallelize it on a supercomputer that can do 100,000 per second that would only take 3 days. Given that ChatGPT was trained on all of the Internet and every book written, I'm not sure that still seems infeasible. http…

But you need to also include the number of prepositions. "A pelican on a bicycle" is not at all the same as "a pelican inside a bicycle".

There are estimated to be 100 or so prepositions in English. That gets you to 4 trillion combinations.

Paying $10 per request doesn't have me jumping at the opportunity to try it!

Makes me wonder: do employees at Anthropic get unmetered access to Claude models?

It's like when you work at McDonald's and get one free meal a day. Lol, of course they get access to the full model way before we do...

Can you be more specific than this? does it vary in time from launch of a model to the next few months, beyond tinkering and optimization?

Yeah, happy to be more specific. No intention of making any technically true but misleading statements. The following are true: - In our API, we don't change model weights or model behavior over time (e.g., by time of day, or weeks/months after release) - Tiny caveats include: there is a bit of non-determinism in batched non-associative math that can vary by batch / hardware, bugs or API downtime can obviously change…

What about the juice variable?

I can see a case for omitting R&D when talking about profitability, but training makes no sense. Training is what makes the model, omitting it is like omitting the cost of running the production facility of a car manufacturer. If AI companies stop training they will stop producing models, and they will run out of a products to sell.

It depends on what you're talking about If you're looking at overall profitability, you include everything If you're talking about unit economics of producing tokens, you only include the marginal cost of each token against the marginal revenue of selling that token

I don’t understand the logic. Without training the marginal cost of each token goes into nothing. The more you train, the better the model, and (presumably) you will gain more costumer interest. Unlike R&D you will always have to train new models if you want to keep your customers.

To me this looks likes some creative bookkeeping, or even wishful thinking. It is like if SpaceX omits the price of the satellites when calculating their profits.

Based on these news it seems that Google is losing this game. I like Gemini and their CLI has been getting better, but not enough to catch up. I don't know if it is lack of dedicated models that is problem (my understanding Google's CLI just relies on regular Gemini) or something else.

Re: Claude Opus 4.6

I think two things are getting conflated in this discussion. First: marginal inference cost vs total business profitability. It’s very plausible (and increasingly likely) that OpenAI/Anthropic are profitable on a per-token marginal basis, especially given how cheap equivalent open-weight inference has become. Third-party providers are effectively price-discovering the floor for inference. Second: model lifecycle econ…

Dario said this in a podcast somewhere. The models themselves have so far been profitable if you look at their lifetime costs and revenue. Annual profitability just isn't a very good lens for AI companies because costs all land in one year and the revenue all comes in the next. Prolific AI haters like Ed Zitron make this mistake all the time.

Great question, and my guess: If you build React in C++ and Rust, even if the framework is there, you'll likely need to write your components in C++/Rust. That is a difficult problem. There are actually libraries out there that allow you to build web UI with Rust, although they are for web (+ HTML/CSS) and not specifically CLI stuff. So someone needs to create such a library that is properly maintained and such. And…

Those Rust libraries have existed for some time: - https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui - https://github.com/ccbrown/iocraft - https://crates.io/crates/dioxus-tui

Where is React? These are TUI libraries, which are not the same thing
