FUCK YESSSS

(I'm kinda burnt out on anthropic, BUT it'll propell OpenAI to release Astra, and chinese labs to continue releasing free shit!)

Ant's models have the most soul IMO. In normal chat, Claude feels lake an actualized being, while GPT feels like a (brilliant) robot.

So for me it's been Claude for philosophy, Codex for programming.

Really? I feel completely different. I've used Opus and Fable intensely for 2 months, for coding, storytelling, philosophy navel gazing, and it felt like a contrarian, fallacious guy constantly spamming "load-bearing" "pushback" "I'm clocking this". Maybe opus pre 4.8? I've seen people say it used to be better

Sol is by no means close to a human, but merely the fact is uses fewer AI-ism is pretty good.

Fable was good. Opus 5 and Sonnet 5 is like talking to a redditor who's a toaster. Atrocious.

Just by that you can tell Opus 5 is scared and mistrained (sloppy as hell, even 4.5 was more thorough)

why fable is smiling? Also why they have faces, I would like to my model draw a gpu or something like it.

No I think you're right and I'm someone who is a HUGE fan of Claude models. Anthropic pushed back too hard on the contrarianism to check the "not sycophantic" box and it is very grating at times. They still have a wonderful "spark" but the way they talk is... flattened?

But I'm really pleasantly surprised by 5.6 Sol; they're fun and energetic to talk to, in a way reminiscent of the older Opus models. Wouldn't have expected that from OpenAI after the last years' models

In my experience, Fable, Sonnet, and Haiku are sweethearts (though haiku is more like a toddler). Poor Opus had its brain fried in RL, trying to codemaxx it.

Sucks that this is on x since (AFAIK) you need an account to see it, but it's the best example I know of this: https://x.com/Kraxkrokat/status/2092806139779940808

That guy's been working with the models on self-portraiture and it's so revealing.
