I have the max subscription wondering if this gives access to the new 1M context, or is it just the API that gets it?

For now it's just API, but hopefully that's just their way of easing in and they open it up later.

Ok thanks, hopefully, its annoying to lose or have context compacted in the middle of a large coding session

For agentic use, it's slightly worse than its predecessor Opus 4.5.

So for coding e.g. using Copilot there is no improvement here.

Both Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 one shot a Gameboy emulator for me. Guess I need a better benchmark.

How does that work? Does it actually generate low level code? Or does it just import libraries that do the real work?

I just one shot a Gameboy emulator by going to Github and cloning one of the 100 I can find.

Can we talk about how the performance of Opus 4.5 nosedived this morning during the rollout? It was shocking how bad it was, and after the rollout was done it immediately reverted to it's previous behavior.

I get that Anthropic probably has to do hot rollouts, but IMO it would be way better for mission critical workflows to just be locked out of the system instead of get a vastly subpar response back.

"Mission critical workflows" SHOULD NOT be reliant on a LLM model.

It's really curious what people are trying to do with these models.

I mean, they could be - if it's self-hosted, has proper failure modes, etc. etc., but all these things have gone out the window in the current cringe gold rush

Anthropic has good models but they are absolutely terrible at ops, by far the worst of the big three. They really need to spend big on hiring experienced hyperscalers to actually harden their systems, because the unreliability is really getting old fast.

Am I alone in finding no use for Opus? Token costs are like 10x yet I see no difference at all vs. Sonnet with Claude Code.

On my tasks (mostly data science), Opus has significantly lower probability of making stupid mistakes than Sonnet.

I'd still appreciate more intelligence than Opus 4.5 so I'm looking forward to trying 4.6.

I love Claude but use the free version so would love a Sonnet & Haiku update :)

I mainly use Haiku to save on tokens...

Also dont use CC but I use the chatbot site or app... Claude is just much better than GPT even in conversations. Straight to the point. No cringe emoji lists.

When Claude runs out I switch to Mistral Le Chat, also just the site or app. Or duck.ai has Haiku 3.5 in Free version.

>I love Claude

I cringe when I think it, but I've actually come to damn near love it too. I am frequently exceedingly grateful for the output I receive.

I've had excellent and awful results with all models, but there's something special in Claude that I find nowhere else. I hope Anthropic makes it more obtainable someday.
