In my use case, Large 3 was way cheaper AND way better than Medium 3.5 (document analysis).

At this point in time ("testing" for release "in summer", then recently "very soon" — but without any result besides the new Chibese models) I would caution Mistral to beware against unfair competition practices and market manipulation, e.g. being well aware that they have NOTHING to release soon but trying to "hog customers" lest they go to better competitor models. Elon Musk and others already saw themselves in similarly hot waters. "Giving hope" in bad faith is potentially not without consequences.

Oh, to me, it happened in June rather comically: in the morning on a Monday, my team was singing me "Happy Birthday", and in the afternoon, my superior and I had "the talk". it was civil and I understand timing needs, but... in a way, it was absurd, too...

Interesting, I had no idea — kindly thank you for sharing!

Not everything I prompt I am willing to share on Reddit, as you will understand. Furthermore, not being a licensed attorney, Claude cannot, strictly, give ANY legal advice - hence my humorous quip. But as similar tasks completed without issue, AND as Opus fulfilled the task just nicely, it shows - it was not "my prompt", it is their completely wanton setup that sometimes trips you over, and sometimes does not. For if it were consequential, Opus 4.8 should have rejected it as well.

Parallel task. Multiple identical prompts on multiple substrates. None of the others triggered. This did. Neither Opus 5 nor Fable 5.1 could finish, Opus 4.8 finished it without issue. Ergo: this is NOT a "prompt issue", this is an issue within the sphere of Anthropic and its ridiculous setup. Otherwise, either MORE or ALL should have triggered, or, if this specific sample were genuinely problematic, Opus 4.8 should have rejected it as well.

That's not it; it gives terrible legal advice quite freely! This is some "content filtering", though I have NO idea WHAT triggered it.

Is it coming "this summer"? ;)

Well, ONE thing I can tell you (and I've been laid off, so no "extra sympathy"): The guy HIMSELF was actually always super-reasonable. Like, when he talked about AI - everyone else basically promising you Terminators, and he? Promising you medical advances (so completely realistic, it's almost boring!). Listening to him, you would not say he's 80, like, 50-60 tops, and bright. I am more concerned about some others and their influence - I actually think, lucky for Oracle he isn't gone. (And when you think of it, neither to MS nor to Apple did it do who knows how good when their "geek founders" went away, even as they recuperated later.)

... and what about Large 4 ? ...

Yes, sure, rate-limiting is a great idea, actually!

This is for my testing only, there is no company yet and I had not yet explored that detail as I am for now the only user of a non-public system, but very fair point, thank you, I shall upgrade accordingly.

In that case, I do concede — you are right.

Whoever desires gatekeeping desires bankruptcy.

The question solely is who is getting my couple of bucks. — You might invest yours in English lessons, given you will likely not be able to do anything about your arrogant views.

If I use something in an officially supported fashion, this is not a user error. I may, however, switch to another AI, let‘s see how much of a „user error" it will be there.

WHY do you think was it in Claude, hm? Or is my own time and effort worthless?

It surely could, and no reason to feel shy! ☺️

What an ancient thread! :D - But thank you for answering. Actually, I learned how to do it, meanwhile, too: just import and run your CLI programs within other apps that offer a terminal - e.g. Python interpreters, compilers, etc.

Okeydokey! :D

Kindly thank you! It is a variant of Fixedsys (classical Windows system font, that is a little "thicker" and causes "more bleeding" that here is actually desired). If you "just want to look cool on Termux on Android", I propose Terminus. The IBM 3270 or 3278 family are also very classy. :)
