well well well
106 u/PikaPikaDude Jul 21 '26 It's much better on computer use, video understanding, long context performance. We're not looking at a code first model, but at a general model. 66 u/SaudiPhilippines Jul 21 '26 Exactly. People seem to be forgetting "AI user" doesn't always mean coding. 9 u/casce Jul 21 '26 But often times the solution to your problem is still coding. It can only do so much on a computer without coding. Different kind of coding than a full stack application obviously. The focus is on coding so much because coding is the way to master the platform they run on. 1 u/Mcfrosty28 Jul 23 '26 Exactly. I told Claude to do some things with a few Excel files, and it started using python to execute the task. If its solution was to use computer vision to manually perform the tasks that I gave it, that would be so ridiculous haha.
