I can't notice any difference to 4.6 from 3 weeks ago, except that this model burns way more tokens, and produces much longer plans. To me it seem like this model is just the same as 4.6 but with a bigger token budget on all effort levels. I guess this is one way how Anthropic plans to make their business profitable. During the past weeks of lobotomized opus, I tried a few different open weight models side by side wi…

If open weight models are sufficient for your engineering problems, then you should absolutely use them. But I haven't seen a single open weight model that can get even close to the complexity in my projects. They sometimes work for small toy examples or leetcode puzzles, but not very any real project. Really curious what models you've found that could replace current state of the art.

They've increased their cybersecurity usage filters to the point that Opus 4.7 refuses to work on any valid work, even after web fetching the program guidelines itself and acknowledging "This is authorized research under the [Redacted] Bounty program, so the findings here are defensive research outputs, not malware. I'll analyze and draft, not weaponize anything beyond what's needed to prove the bug to [Redacted]. I…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Its funny to think that with a model release Anthropic can slide in some instructions ("be a bit more detailed" or something similar) that affect the token output by a few percent, 5-10%, which will not be noticeable by most users but over the course of the year would bring solid growth (once the VC craze is over, if ever) and increase income. "Regular companies" would love to have a growth like that without effectiv…

I like how some people are accusing them of reducing the overall token usage to screw over Claude Code users and then there are yet other people that are accusing them of deliberately increasing token usage to screw over API users (or maybe to get subscription users to upgrade, I'm not really sure)
