Another preview model? Why google keep doing this?

Honest question: why would anyone use Opus instead of this? I’m doing web development, the whole shebang, and I don’t think I need Opus right now. I know it’s supposed to be smarter, but a 2%–5% improvement doesn’t seem meaningful, especially when it costs more than double and has only a portion of the context window.

Am I getting this wrong? I would seriously appreciate any clarification here.

Opus understands the intent, even if your prompt is not good, Opus usually understand what you are trying to say and does a great job. With Sonnet I have to step in and say, I didn't mean that, I meant X, so do X.

The 2-5% margin makes a much bigger difference when it comes to complex problems.

>You do understand that is who you’re competing with now right?

No. I'm competing with no one.

You may think you are not competing. The people whose money you may want (employers, investors, customers) definitely see you as one of many competitors for their funds.

Exactly

Because you are not coding, you are building. I've been coding since I was 7 years old, now I'm building.

I'd go one step higher, we're not builders, we're problem solvers.

Sometimes the problem needs building, sometimes not.

I'm an Engineer, I see a problem and want to solve it. I don't care if I have to write code, have a llm build something new, or maybe even destroy something. I want to solve the problem for the business and move to the next one, most of the time it is having a llm write code though.

Not to be pedantic. But facism is politics.

Fascism isn't just American. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be accurate. My point: supporting an American fascist normalizes fascism everywhere

>they didn't cut-off anyone

They did banned a lot people. Later, they "unbanned" them, but your comment isn't truthful.

Could someone explain this to me? I have the same question: why Cursor team don't use Cursor to get rid of vscode base and code its super duper code editor?

I've been a paying user for years. I don't see the point anymore since claude code.

Im in between :)

Mini - small, incomplete, not good enough

Flash - good, not great, fast, might miss something.

I believethere’s also exponential dislike growing for Altman among most AI users, and that impacts how the brand/company is perceived.

Most AI users outside of HN does not have any idea of who Altman is. ChatGPT is in many circles synonymous to AI so their brand recognition is huge.

I agree, I have said it before, ChatGPT is like Photoshop at this point, or Google. Even if you are using Bing you are googling it. Even if you are using MS Paint to edit an image it was photoshopped.
