So for coding e.g. using Copilot there is no improvement here.
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.
It's really curious what people are trying to do with these models.
I'd still appreciate more intelligence than Opus 4.5 so I'm looking forward to trying 4.6.
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 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.
