alt Hacker NewsThis is the first time I saw a model pop-up on HN and didn't really care. Model exhaustion? It looks interesting but not exciting.
While I'd normally _love_ incremental improvements --- I think the recent ones are far too minor to get excited about or change up a workflow. Besides, benchmarks tend to exaggerate the gap between versions.
At this point I'd almost rather Anthropic wait and really wow us with a 5.0 release -- something that improves across the board, feels less uneven, and is performant enough that people can actually put it through its paces without constantly rationing usage.

Great. The rest of us find this model exciting because I think it's the first time there have been meaningful improvement to Claude.
I think I need to purchase a plan to be sure tho but from all the anecdotes I've read so far, this is a significant milestone from Anthropic.
I actually think they have a shot against Codex now
Dunno. Isn't OpenAI supposed to release a new version of their model within 30 minutes? Maybe things are actually quieting down.
Yeah.. Also, after they fucked up the CC, released that 4.7 etc. I switched completely to Codex and honestly do not wish to go back to half assed harness of Claude. Codex somehow got extremely good in a couple of months.
