This is why eventually, the AI with the fewest guardrails will win. Grok is currently the most unguarded of the frontier models, but it could still use some work on unbiased responses.
If you tell DeepSeek you're going to jump off a cliff, DeepSeek will tell you to go for it*; but I don't think it's going to beat Anthropic or OpenAI. * https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/iGF7YcnQkEbwvYLPA/ai-induced...

I can't imagine myself sharing my code or workspace documents with X. Nevermind the the moral implications of just using their products.

#735I need to try Claude - haven't gotten to it. I use AI for different things, though, including proofreading posts on political topics. I have run into situations where ChatGPT just freezes and refuses. Example: discussing the recent rape case involving a 12-year-old in Austria. I assume its guardrails detect "sex + kid" and give a hard "no" regardless of the actual context or content. That is unacceptable. That's like…
In my (admittedly very limited) experience with trying to talk about "controversial" topics, Claude seems to be much stricter about shutting down the conversation fast.

#737Anecdotal evidence. I have a fairly large web application with ~200k LoC. Gave the same prompt to Sonnet 4.5 (Claude Code) and GPT-5-Codex (Codex CLI). "implement a fuzzy search for conversations and reports either when selecting "Go to Conversation" or "Go to Report" and typing the title or when the user types in the title in the main input field, and none of the standard elements match, a search starts with a 2s de…
There's few issues with posts like yours: 1. Different LLMs require different prompts and information 2. They ignore LLMs non determinism, you should run the experiment several times

I will say, Claude does seem to need a verbose prompt. Often I'll write my prompts as tasks in Notion and have it pull then via MCP (which is nice, because it tracks and documents its work in the process). But once you've given it a few paragraphs about the why and how, my experience is that it's pretty self sufficient. Granted, I'm using Cursor and not CC; I don't know if that makes much of a difference.

#739I had access to a preview over the weekend, I published some notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/claude-sonnet-4-5/ It's very good - I think probably a tiny bit better than GPT-5-Codex, based on vibes more than a comprehensive comparison (there are plenty of benchmarks out there that attempt to be more methodical than vibes). It particularly shines when you try it on https://claude.ai/ using its brand n…
Why did you have access to a preview?
Re: Claude Sonnet 4.5
#740I just ran this through a simple change I’ve asked Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1, and it fails too. It’s a simple substitution request where I provide a Lint error that suggests the correct change. All the models fail. I could ask someone with no development experience to do this change and they could. I worry everyone is chasing benchmarks to the detriment of general performance. Or the next token weight for the incorrect c…
> I worry everyone is chasing benchmarks to the detriment of general performance. I’m not sure this is entirely what you’re driving at, but the example I always think of in my head is “I want an AI agent that will scan through my 20 to 30,000 photos, remove all the duplicates, then organize them all in some coherent fashion.” that’s the kind of service I need right now, and it feels like something AI should be able t…
