I have three specific use cases where I try both but ChatGPT wins: - Recipes and cooking: ChatGPT just has way more detailed and practical advice. It also thinks outside of the box much more, whereas Claude gets stuck in a rut and sticks very closely to your prompt. And ChatGPT's easier to understand/skim writing style really comes in useful. - Travel and itinerary: Again, ChatGPT can anticipate details much more, an…
How does #3 square with Anthropic's literal warehouse full of books we've seen from the copyright case? Did OpenAI scan more books? Or did they take a shadier route of training on digital books despite copyright issues, but end up with a deeper library?
I have no idea, but I suspect there's a difference between using books to train an LLM and be able to reproduce text/writing styles, and being able to actually recall knowledge in said books.

Honest question, how do you know if it's pulling from context vs from memory? If I use Opus 4.6 with Extended Thinking (Web Search disabled, no books attached), it answers with 130 spells.
One possible trick could be to search and replace them all with nonsense alternatives then see if it extracts those.
That might actually boost performance since attention pays attention to stuff that stands out. If I make a typo, the models often hyperfixate on it.

#544Just tested the new Opus 4.6 (1M context) on a fun needle-in-a-haystack challenge: finding every spell in all Harry Potter books. All 7 books come to ~1.75M tokens, so they don't quite fit yet. (At this rate of progress, mid-April should do it ) For now you can fit the first 4 books (~733K tokens). Results: Opus 4.6 found 49 out of 50 officially documented spells across those 4 books. The only miss was "Slugulus Eruc…
To be fair, I don't think "Slugulus Eructo" (the name) is actually in the books. This is what's in my copy: > The smug look on Malfoy’s face flickered. > “No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood,” he spat. > Harry knew at once that Malfoy had said something really bad because there was an instant uproar at his words. Flint had to dive in front of Malfoy to stop Fred and George jumping on him, Alicia shr…
Then it's fair that id didn't find it

React's core is agnostic when it comes to the actual rendering interface. It's just all the fancy algos for diffing and updating the underlying tree. Using it for rendering a TUI is a very reasonable application of the technology.
The terminal UI is not a tree structure that you can diff. It’s a 2D cells of characters, where every manipulation is a stream of texts. Refreshing or diffing that makes no sense.
IMO diffing might have made sense to do here, but that's not what they chose to do.
What's apparently happening is that React tells Ink to update (re-render) the UI "scene graph", and Ink then generates a new full-screen image of how the terminal should look, then passes this screen image to another library, log-update, to draw to the terminal. log-update draws these screen images by a flicker-inducing clear-then-redraw, which it has now fixed by using escape codes to have the terminal buffer and combine these clear-then-redraw commands, thereby hiding the clear.
An alternative solution, rather than using the flicker-inducing clear-then-redraw in the first place, would have been just to do terminal screen image diffs and draw the changes (which is something I did back in the day for fun, sending full-screen ASCII digital clock diffs over a slow 9600baud serial link to a real terminal).

Have you by any chance tried this with GPT 4.1 too (also 1M context)?
Re: Claude Opus 4.6
#547I 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…
I suspect they're marginally profitable on API cost plans. But the max 20x usage plans I am more skeptical of. When we're getting used to $200 or $400 costs per developer to do aggressive AI-assisted coding, what happens when those costs go up 20x? what is now $5k/yr to keep a Codex and a Claude super busy and do efficient engineering suddenly becomes $100k/yr... will the costs come down before then? Is the current "…
after the models get good enough to replace coders they will be able to start increasing the subscriptions back up

What is this supposed to show exactly? Those books have been feed into LLMs for years and there's even likely specific RLHF's on extracting spells from HP.
There was a time when I put the EA-Nasir text into base64 and asked AI to convert it. Remarkably it identified the correct text but pulled the most popular translation of the text than the one I gave it.

you can get the same result just asking opus/gpt, it is probably internalized knowledge from reddit or similar sites.
If you just ask it you don't get the same result. Around 13 spells were missing when I just prompted Opus 4.6 without the books as context.

When I tried it without web search so only internal knowledge it missed ~15 spells.
