First of all, what happened to Max and Ultra?

Secondly, I’m mostly using Astra Ultra or Sol 6.1 when tight on quota. I pay $200/month and rarely if ever run out. Am I doing something wrong? Or perhaps I’m not that productive as you guys?

Same here. I’m feeling productive enough. If I was more “productive”, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with what I was producing. My attention and cognitive broadband is the bottleneck. I find it hard to believe that people are actually productive using 4 active chat windows simultaneously for 8+ hours a day.

why measure something you can just enforce with something like opcore which we have built? https://github.com/the-open-engine/opcore/

Opus did better on medium? Can anyone confirm this somehow? What’s the sweetspot in your opinion?

Recent evaluation result.

I find QFN on xhigh usually overruns the context window for no good result. If it can do the task, it'll do it quicker on medium. If it can't do the task, xhigh won't change that.

I wish a company named human layer won't write their reports with so much Claudisms.

The irony is the article is very sloppy. Can we at least write it and review it properly..

This is true. I was unfamiliar with this concept (I use codex/claude daily), and am trying to get to the "bottom line".

Oh, it's there at bottom under "my takeaway". But I still didn't get it initially.

Slop Code Bench? Need a Slop Writing Bench too

What's wrong with it? Reads fine to me.

There are 36 tests. You can pass 0 or 36 or any number inbetween. Lets give five significant digits of how accurate solving was.

That is not how data physics work. It should not be how data science works.
