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.

If you want to really test this, search/replace the names with your own random ones and see if it lists those. Otherwise, LLMs have most of the books memorised anyway: https://arstechnica.com/features/2025/06/study-metas-llama-3...
Couldn't you just ask the LLM which 50 (or 49) spells appear in the first four Harry Potter books without the data for comparison?
I mean, you can try, but it won't be a definitive answer as to whether that knowledge truly exists or doesn't exist as it is encoded into the NN. It could take a lot of context from the books themselves to get to it.

I think the naming schemes are quite arbitrary at this point. Going to 5 would come with massive expectations that wouldn't meet reality.
After the negative reactions to GPT 5, we may see model versioning that asymptotically approaches the next whole number without ever reaching it. "New for 2030: Claude 4.9.2!"

#667Does anyone else think its unethical that large companies, Anthropic now include, just take and copy features that other developers or smaller companies work hard for and implement the intellectual property (whether or not patented) by them without attribution, compensation or otherwise credit for their work? I know this is normalized culture for large corporate America and seems to be ok, I think its unethical, undi…

#668Google already won the AI race. It's very silly to try and make AGI by hyperfocusing on outdated programming paradigms. You NEED multimodal to do anything remotely interesting with these systems.

Claude sucks at non English languages. Gemini and ChatGPT are much better. Grok is the worst. I am a native Czech speaker and Claude makes up words and Grok sometimes respond in Russian. So while I love it for coding, it’s unusable for general purpose for me.
Claude code (opus) is very good in Polish. I sometimes vibe code in polish and it's as good as with English for me. It speaks a natural, native level Polish. I used opus to translate thousands of strings in my app into polish, Korean, and two Chinese dialects. Polish one is great, and the other are also good according to my customers.

#670They are also giving away $50 extra pay as you go credit to try Opus 4.6. I just claimed it from the web usage page[1]. Are they anticipating higher token usage for the model or just want to promote the usage? [1] https://claude.ai/settings/usage
"Page not found" for me. I assume this is for currently paying accounts only or something (my subscription hasn't been active for a while), which is fair.
