ChatGPT has given more for my 20$ than any other vendor. And that’s not even considering codex which is so good and the limits are much much higher

yeah claude is great... but only if you pay $100-$200 a month

I'm using it via Copilot, now considering to also try Open Code (with Copilot license). I don't know if it's as good as Claude Code, but it's pretty good. You get 100 Sonnet requests or 33 Opus request in the subscription per month ($20 business plan) + some less powerful models have no limits (i.e. GPT 4.1), while extra Sonnet request is $0.04 and Opus $0.12, so another $20 buys 250 Sonnet requests + 83 Opus requests. This works for me better since I do not code all day, every single day. Also a request is a request, so it does not matter if it's just a plain edit task or an agent request, it costs the same.

Btw. I trust Microsoft / GitHub to not train on my data more (with the Business license) than I would trust Antrophic.

I no longer want to support OpenAI at all. Regardless of benchmarks or real world performance.

Big fan of OpenAI and recently swapped over due to their recent policies. Will never use Anthropic again. I think GPT-5 is better and I like the companies values.

Wait this is really funny, it still just does what it wants, no matter what:

You can have it not use bulleted points, I turned this on, thinking it would be more concise and not so... listy. However, it just uses the same format, without the bullets. I was confused why it was writing 5 word sentences, separated by line breaks. Then I realized it was just making lists, without the bullets.

Great job OpenAI!

Oh, I dunno about lately (though I did stumble upon https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/big-ideas-things-excite... ) But when I was in the crypto space in 2018, there was a lot of interesting things happening in the smart contract world (like proofs of concepts of issuing NFTs as a digital "deed" to a physical asset like a house). I don't think any of those novel ideas went anywhere, but it was a fun time to be expe…

Yeah, like most startups. I'd argue that a majority of AI startups now will go nowhere as well. That's just how new technology goes. Lots of shiny objects, lots of hype, and maybe 1%, if that, goes on to become a foundation of society.

Jury is still out on if crypto will become a foundation for society (if anything, it would be foundational for something boring and invisible like banking). I wouldn't bet on a startup doing that, but that's the only viable thing I can foresee crypto being useful for. But it doesn't mean that other applications can't be interesting and useless!

I agree! I recently migrated from ChatGPT to Claude and it is just superior in every way. It doesn't blather on the at the end ask me for clarification. It's succinct and clarifies vital information before providing a solution.

Voice input is still far less accurate than OpenAI's unfortunately, otherwise I would have already switched.

Oh interesting. I've never used voice input on either so I can't comment, but understandable why you can't switch if it's disruptive to your workflow to do so.

which values of OpenAI do you prefer and which values of Anthropic do you dislike? out of curiousity

Great. A new version of the same model, or a different one that performs worse or exactly the same. This whole release theater, just to give shareholders the impression of growth, is such a bullshit grift.

and considering the stance on openai with a majority of the users here compared to the number of upvotes, are HN likes bot-farmed?

I've only used 5.4 for 1 prompt (edit: 3@high now) so far (reasoning: extra high, took really long), and it was to analyse my codebase and write an evaluation on a topic. But I found its writing and analysis thoughtful, precise, and surprisingly clearly written, unlike 5.3-Codex. It feels very lucid and uses human phrasing. It might be my AGENTS.md requiring clearer, simpler language, but at least 5.4's doing a good…

Honestly, while I'd like to believe you, there's always a post about how $MODEL+1 delivered powerful insights about the very nature of the universe in precise Hegelian dialectic, while $MODEL's output was indistinguishable from a pack of screeching sexually frustrated bonobos

Hegel is a mind virus. Let his terrible thought rest in peace.
