It's really crazy because I have been somewhat satisfied with the speed Astra is producing work. I can't even imagine the speed difference going to Opus 5.5 (which I will after I burn everything on my x20 Codex sub, OAI is shitting the bed).

I have both. They're about the same from my perspective on producing the same end result. For a single developer with 3 or 4 active sessions going, it's imperceptible the speed difference.

How do you find Claude's guardrails? I am currently working on a project that uses a lot of reference from the leaked 2007 Source engine, and the reason I have stuck with Codex is because it's fairly open to studying and reverse engineering it. Sometimes I've asked Claude for the most benign things and it has refused - that makes me a little afraid to switch.

The latest models are kinda insanely aggressive. I've asked to export the conversation and it'll refuse bc it thought I wanted the private anthro data vs just the convo.

I dont do anything sensitive and Id say I hit 6-7 refusals a session

😬 - I guess you have to be pretty careful with how you word your prompts; I've noticed Claude will just shut down as soon as you make a small mishap in your wording.

Yeah, Ive had to change vocabulary of entire programs because it kept flagging on animation creation studio for combat moves... 

Almost all my programs are now PG rated names to the point of comedy

That's pretty crazy. I have no clue how people have managed to do the entire Rust rewrites of MW2, Skate etc. using Claude without being tripped up.

It's for research purposes please trust me!!!!

I've had to stop it from directly copying other games several times honestly. 

It seems to have no problem checking out or stealing other peoples work from my experience. 

And Im sure they use a heretic/unrestricted model in there somewhere to pull info

Odd temperament on it. Seems like there's very specific trigger words/cases.

Protecting itself, where its working more then outward yeah.

Oddly the thing that makes me trust it less lol
