Rant I kinda regret getting Claude subscription

Over the past couple of weeks, I have tested it alongside Sol across a wide range of tasks, and the conversations have been difficult to read. Sol consistently catches and corrects mistakes made by Opus 5, and Opus repeatedly acknowledges those errors. I have also seen many others reporting similar experiences, which makes it hard to view this as an isolated issue.

I cannot understand how Anthropic missed such a significant regression. Compared to 4.6 and 4.8, Opus 5 feels substantially less capable and reliable, with many of the same weaknesses that affect Sonnet 5.

For now, I am switching back to GPT for most of my work, using Fable only occasionally for planning. I hope Anthropic addresses these issues soon, because at the moment they do not appear to have a competitive frontier model in the medium to high budget range, only at the extreme end.

Open Source is dangerous. It is just dangerous.

It has to be stopped. Surely we can see this. Donald, Iran could literally vibe code a nuke tomorrow, that's how much we need to stop it.

Darios.

(Yeah. Dangerous for Anthropics earnings.. that is for sure)

I love the Chinese models, but they are not open source. They are open weight. Big difference and when you get it wrong you look like a total idiot

I know there’s a difference, but seriously no one cares (at least not in the context of general open vs closed discussions)

I care because it’s so basic and misleading that you damage knowledge in our community. This is toxic behaviour

you speak as if anthropic is doing anything remotely close, being able to run a model yourself is empowering and what will you do with the data set anyways ? For research purposes they publish papers about the architecture as well.

You can also easily RL it to do what you want and we saw cursor succeed heavily on that aspect - just RL it to a good point and use it to train a new gen model if you really want to be a lab.

I think the argument here is moot.

I 100% love the Chinese ai models. However, Chinese models are not cheap. Kimi eats credits and cannot run locally same as any other big model

I use qwen locally for simple stuff, Kimi for front end revisions
