The leap frogging at this point is getting insane (in a good way, I guess?). The amount of time each state of the art feature gets before it's supplanted is a few weeks at this point. LLMs were always a fun novelty for me until OpenAI DeepResearch which started to actually come up with useful results on more complex programming questions (where I needed to write all the code by hand but had to pull together lots of d…

I agree with your overall message - rapid growth appears to encourage competition and forces companies to put their best foot forward. However, unfortunately, I cannot shower much praise on Claude 3.7. And if you (or anyone) asks why - 3.7 seems much better than 3.5, surely? - Then I’m moderately sure that you use Claude much more for coding than for any kind of conversation. In my opinion, even 3.5 Haiku (which is a…

I too like 3.5 better than 3.7 and I use it pretty often. It's like 3.7 is better in 2 metrics but worse in 10 different ones

Is this the beginning of the apps for everything era and finally the SaaS for your LLM begins? Initially we had internet but value came when instead of installed apps, webapps arrived to become SaaS. Now if LLMs can use specific remote MCP which is another SaaS for your LLM, the remote MCP powered service can charge a subscription to do wonderful things and voila! Let the new golden age of SaaS for LLMs begin and the…

I'm more excited I can run now a custom site, hook an MCP for it, and have all the cool intelligence I had to pay for SaaS without having to integrate to them plus govern my data, it's a massive win. I just see AI assistant coding replicating current SaaS services that I can run internally. If my shop was a specific stack, I could aim to have all my supporting apps in that specific stack using AI assistant coding, simplifying operations, and being able to hook up MCP's to get intelligence from all of them.

Truly, OSS should be more interesting in the next decade for this alone.

"To start, you can choose from Integrations for 10 popular services, including Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence, Zapier, Cloudflare, Intercom, Asana, Square, Sentry, PayPal, Linear, and Plaid. ... Each integration drastically expands what Claude can do." Give us an LLM with better reasoning capabilities, please! All this other stuff just feels like a distraction.

I disagree. They can walk and chew gum, do both things at once. And this practical stuff is very important. I've been using the Atlassian MCP for nearly a month now, and it's completely changed (and eliminated) the feeling of having an overwhelming backlog. I can have it do things like "find all the tickets related to profile editing and combine them into one epic" where it works perfectly. Or "help me prioritize the…

How do your colleagues feel about it?

Or even access multiple files? Why can't one set up a prompt, test it against a file, then once it is working, apply it to each file in a folder in a batch process which then provides the output as a single collective file?

I've just done something similar with Claude Desktop and its built-in MCP servers. The limits are still buggy responses - Claude often gets stuck in a useless loop if you overfeed it with files - and lack of consistency. Sometimes hand-holding is needed to get the result you want. And it's slow. But when it works it's amazing. If the issues and limitations were solved, this would be a complete game changer. We're sta…

I would be fine with storing the output from one run, spooling up a new one, then concatenating after multiple successive runs.

You can probably achieve what you want with https://github.com/simonw/llm and a little bit of command line. Not sure what OS you're on, but in Windows it might look like this: FOR %%F IN (*.txt) DO (TYPE "%%F" | llm -s "execute this prompt" >> "output.txt)

I want to work with PDFs (or JPEGs), but that should be a start, I hope.

Where's the permissioning, the data protection? People will say 'aaah ad company' (me too sometimes) but I'd honestly trust a Google AI tool with this way more. Not just because it already has access to my Google Workspace obviously, but just because it's a huge established tech firm with decades of experience in trying not to lose (or have taken) user data. Even if they get the permissions right and it can only read…

Permissoning: OAuth Data protection: Local LLMs

If you do not enable "Web Search" are you guaranteed it does not access the web anyway?

Sometimes I want a pure model answer and I used to use Claude for that. For research tasks I preferred ChatGPT, but I found that you cannot reliably deny it web access. If you are asking it a research question, I am pretty sure it uses web search, even when "Search" and "Deep Research" are off.

Can't wait for the first security incident relating to the fundamentally flawed MCP specification which an LLM will inadvertently be tricked to leak sensitive data.

Increasing the amount of "connections" to the LLM increases the risk in a leak and it gives your more rope to hang yourself with when at least one connection becomes problematic.

Now is a great time to be a LLM security consultant.

I'm quite struck by the title of this announcement. The box being drawn around "your world" shows how narrow the AI builder's window into reality tends to be. > a new way to connect your apps and tools to Claude. We're also expanding... with an advanced mode that searches the web. The notion of software eating the world, and AI accelerating that trend, always seems to forget that The World is a vast thing, a physical…

(Just for context: we've since changed the title above. Corporate press release titles are rarely a good fit for HN and we usually change them.
