Terra is also a fantastic model.

I really liked their brand position a year ago. But having Boris talk about "Claude's brain" on stage & their other founder pretending AI is sentient in front of the pope - they're coming off more as a religion than

So what we have here is the LLM version of the aesthetic usability effect. So: prettier = better. Take from that what you will - and maybe the AUE is more desirable - but Sol & K3 are genuine game changers for existing codebases. Anthr

Sol is absolutely incredible. It's the first model where it feels like a mid-weight engineer that actually looks at the details. I haven't tried Max yet - High for me has been enough so far.

Grok 4.5 is actually good though (as a workhorse model).

Interesting, I generally use High for all models, even non Anthropic ones. This was one of the few times I tried Max, and the problem was the code (it listed as a "hole") was directly adjacent to the problem area, and not especial

6 months ago: get Claude to do some work, have GPT review it, ask Claude to first verify findings before actioning. Now: get GPT to do some work, have Claude review it, question Claude about a finding that is surprising to me because I thou

Really? I've heard so many other people complain about this recently. And maybe it's possible that it's the prompt style even. But interesting that it's not across the board.

Haven't tried this yet, but going to soon! I have to wonder what happened at Anthropic. We've cancelled our subscription in favor of OpenCode & Codex. Sol is just so good & OC goes so far for every $ spent. Claude's b

Honestly, I didn't even know this was a problem that needed to be solved.

More and more these companies sound like they want to protect market share, instead of lose it to foreign models. I believe the cat's already out of the bag on this one. Regulatory capture and more export control will indeed push more

I'm surprised by the negative its-a-copy sentiment. Of course it is. Just like Linear/Mailchimp/etc. (almost everything) are copies of other things. These harness+work apps are becoming a product category and I'm excited

Probably a good example why you shouldn't outsource creative work to AI.

I mean, it's hard not to be impressed by the Moonshot team. Absolutely great work.

I'm surprised - weren't they always OSS?

Definitely a +1 from me. I've really enjoyed using it via OpenCode/Zen. Not loving the pricing with OC so will probably switch to OpenRouter once my credits are done.
