It's quite clear that these companies do make money on each marginal token. They've said this directly and analysts agree [1]. It's less clear that the margins are high enough to pay off the up-front cost of training each model. [1] https://epochai.substack.com/p/can-ai-companies-become-profi...

It’s not clear at all because model training upfront costs and how you depreciate them are big unknowns, even for deprecated models. See my last comment for a bit more detail.

Those are not marginal costs.

Results from a one-shot approach quickly converge on the default “none found” outcome when reasoning isn’t grounded in a paper corpus via proper RAG tooling.

Can you provide more context to your statement? Are you talking about models in general? Or specific recent models? I'm assuming "one-shot approach" is how you classify the parent comment's question (and subsequent refined versions of it).

Large models in general. A semantic query for "fake articles", without examples, is a wildcard search.

A commercial RAG solution would use Query Expansion (QE) and examples to find nearest neighbors.

I don't recall them ever offering that legal reasoning - I'm sure you can provide a citation?

Did using LLMs too much remove your ability to critically think too?

Just to be clear: you're mad because your "critical thinking" led you to a spurious argument that you disagree with, and that they never actually made?

You explicitly said: "the excuse that "it's not plagiarizing, it thinks!!!!1"", and it seems rather relevant that they've never actually used that excuse.

I love doing a personal side project code review with claude code, because it doesn't beat around the bush for criticism. I recently compared a class that I wrote for a side project that had quite horrible temporal coupling for a data processor class. Gemini - ends up rating it a 7/10, some small bits of feedback etc Claude - Brutal dismemberment of how awful the naming convention, structure, coupling etc, provides e…

I feel like this anecdote represents the differing incentives / philosophies of each group rather well. I've noticed ChatGPT is rather high in its praise regardless of how valuable the input is, Gemini is less placating but still largely influenced by the perspective of the prompter, and Claude feels the most "honest" but humans are rather easy poor at judging this sort of thing. Does anyone know if "sycophancy" has…

The issue i think is that to model sycophancy you'd need another model that can address signs of sycophancy - it's turtles all the way down

They 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

My Claude instance informs me of this. There's a banner up the top telling me to invoke "/extra-usage".

When I do so, it tells me it's an unknown skill, and keeps going with the usual "let me know if I can help you with anything else" spiel.

Just tested the new Opus 4.6 (1M context) on a fun needle-in-a-haystack challenge: finding every spell in all Harry Potter books. All 7 books come to ~1.75M tokens, so they don't quite fit yet. (At this rate of progress, mid-April should do it ) For now you can fit the first 4 books (~733K tokens). Results: Opus 4.6 found 49 out of 50 officially documented spells across those 4 books. The only miss was "Slugulus Eruc…

Now edit the books and replace all spell names with different ones, and try again

> We build Claude with Claude. Our engineers write code with Claude Code every day well that explains quite a bit

Also explains why Claude Code is a React app outputting to a Terminal. (Seriously.)

I am really flabbergasted. How are they thinking using React for a TUI is a flex? Having 5 sessions open - and all idea - is taking up 98% of CPU. Is this another case of - "When all you is hammer, everything looks like nails"?
