Did you try it? In the few coding tasks I threw at it, it performed much better than Opus.
I played with it at work for the afternoon when I noticed I had access. It was fine. Sure, it was an improvement, but it wasn’t so good that it could end the world. It was basically just more of the same for anyone familiar with coding agents.
I tried it, had to VPN in to do so but I tried it. I gave it 5 tasks, it succeeded in 2 of them, rest were hallucinations. so...yeah...guess it's much better than Opus.
I'm having trouble parsing whatcha mean here if they were coding tasks. The code didn't run? Ran but had 0 functionality? If they were non-coding tasks, then agreed, I didn't notice it being significantly more accurate. Though I did appreciate the larger vocab. I wasn't gonna be able to afford to keep using it once it went to API pricing anyway.
sorry should have been more specific. it was a mix of coding and non-coding. 1 coding task ran fine, another one just didn't work at all. one was a basic walk through tutorial type task that was accurate, the others were hallucinations.
Of course not. It's offline and my boss only pays for ChatGpt. I have used ChatGpt 5.4 and it's performance is fine. I have not used it for coding, but I did notice it being a bit more coherent. I am am not a poweruser though. I don't work with agents. I'm sure that makes it better, but I'm not willing ti pay for the tokens.
I just use the web app, mostly to make self-contained html toys. During the brief period it was up and part of the general subscription, I asked it to make Terrace (the old board game from TNG) with very little help in the initial prompt. I kinda know how involved that task is, cause I manually wrote a Godot version back in '20. It nailed it with only minor fixes - 3D, reactive sound and visuals, a music score that is pretty chill, with Easy, Medium, and Hard levels of AI to compete against. I have yet to beat it on Hard. Opus couldn't touch that. I'm pretty sure the fed's response is simple retaliation against Anthropic for not playing ball with the DoD/W, but the capability jump was definitely notable. I saw someone liken it to the jump from gpt 3.5 to 4, and I agree, if not a bit more.
Yeah, that sounds like just another LLM iteration. It's nice and all. Great technological innovationn. Very impressive. But is it wort investing billion upon billions of dollars? Is it worth breaking the chip market? Is it worth breaking the job market? Is it worth (possibly) causing a complete marhet crash when the bubble bursts?
