Next will be haiku 5.5, surpassing opus 4.8

Sonnet 5 was so horrible I’m afraid of trying 5.5. I’ll stick with Opus 5.5 for now. Seriously the sonnet and opus 5 series models were their vista moment.

Increasingly technically skilled. Increasingly more stupid on a human level. I hate talking to Claude more every day.

Sticking with OPUS 5.5 for resume/STAR generation for me. Tried Sonnet 5.5 but worse than OPUS for thinking for sure, less error/inconsistency check.

I used Opus 5.5 med vs. Sonnet 5.5 High on hermes with the same agent.md, and soul.md

It's either Opus is smarter for sure, or Sonnet is ignoring my contexts.

For those who downvoted my comment last week regarding using Opus 5.5 for resume, go get lost somewhere.

I use AI the way I want, you don't force me not to use SOTA for this

Oh yes. I think you might get a lot for what you pay with Sonnet 5.5.

Sonnet 5.5 is way better than GPT 6 Sol. Does that even make sense?

Sol should basically be compared to Opus, but 6 Sol has lower performance than 5.6 Sol.

On top of that, the usage allowance has dropped way too much. And this is on the Pro plan...

Well, always watch also the number of tokens used (and price). Intelligence scales with tokens so you might make Luna as smart as Sol with crazy amount of them :)

Also, these are benchmarks...

I know this isn't a model thing, but why do all the labs blow at product outside of models?

Aren't you still getting paid more money than god to write React if you work at Anthropic? I wasted 5 minutes digging into random stupid nooks and crannies in the desktop app to find where I could update: only to find on Linux you need to use apt.

How hard would it be to put a notice where the normal Check For Updates goes that says "This install is managed by [package manager], use [command] to update"

AGI is going to be so awful for product quality on the more basic things. It feels like these are small papercuts that humans would implicitly smooth over, that RL'd models are actually getting worse at dealing with because of their single-mindedness about completing the given task.
