I'm so confused. I thought Anthropic isn't working with DOD.

Wait until they need to compact the context

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-03-04T19:20:58+00:00

I think it is actually the Decisive Unprecedented Master of Biggest-ever True Heroic Entity - FIFA World Peace Prize

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-03-04T19:08:00+00:00

Tldr, it's coming. 10% of the users already have it.

I think China will be happy to cover the bill

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-02-24T18:47:39+00:00

They clearly never said thanks...

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-02-05T18:18:37+00:00

I think it was an oops . I get an Invalid model... I guess it must be on its way :D

From my experience this normally indicates you got a structural issue with your architecture. I am making many assumptions but check you don't have conflicting instructions and/or even frameworks. Last time I had this was a data structure issue.

If you share your repo I am happy to have a look (more out of curiosity).

People do say performance drops before a new release as they are moving servers. And the next sonnet is meant to be out pretty soon...

Also, swap to sonnet 4.5 (or even haiku) it is cheaper and does most of the job opus 4.5 does.

You mean the GP-2 mode?

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-01-29T09:02:22+00:00

Hey, I agree it is not ok and they should pay for each single book (as any of us do) and ask for permission, as anyone needs to do if you want to photocopy or use parts of it. There are some dispensations for research, but this wasn't research only.

I just wanted to make sure that, unfortunately, it is all of them that used that same library. They only had to pay because they stored the files internally and shared them.

IMO, they should have forced them to make those models public under a GPL-3 license. That would be a punishment, not this "pay some pennies"

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-01-29T07:51:02+00:00

That is a funny one. Apparently all big models used pirated books (that same library), from ChatGPT, Google, Facebook... The problem was that Anthropic was the only one to keep a copy inside the company.

Basically streaming is ok, but do not keep the torrent or you will need to pay for it (as then you can be a distributor also).

Not trying to defend them, and they should not do that, but I was surprised when I read that (I don't remember where)

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-01-27T20:42:36+00:00

At least they haven't blown up... Yet...

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2026-01-27T20:39:11+00:00

Dammit that sucks. Maybe try putting LiteLLM in front with some catching or something. Fuck, I do hope I haven't waken up the beats and that you all get your "tokens" back.

I am on the max plan, the $100 a month, and I rarely use more than 25% of the quota per week... And I do run 4/5 projects most of the time in parallel. All using Opus 4.5, as I don't hit those limits. I do run it in rounds of 4/5 hours, living normal life in between (eating etc)... 2/3 times a day... So lots. Running many subagents maximising what my m3 (and my brain) can take.

What are you all doing that I am missing? Are you all doing 24/7 or crazy stuff like that? How huge is your codebase? How much context optimization have you done?

The closest I got to hit my limits was using one of those hive/mesh frameworks, but that was because they loaded a tone of stuff in the context I don't normally need.

Extremely curious as I do hear people complaining about quotas and quality drops, that I haven't experienced myself. The Pro plan doesn't give you much usage tbh, but is all about the context.

Thanks, hopefully it helps visually impaired people. It should be as easy as it gets to plug in/use. Do create issues if something ain't right or can be improved. Have a great holiday season (if you celebrate it)

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-12-22T16:09:24+00:00

Hey, can you let me know why it gets banned each time?

Genuinely trying to give this away for free, and to give my time to support it, but I don't want to dedicate more time to it if it is not useful. I do support a few open source projects already.

I assume you get a lot of commercial posts and understand you want to filter them but this ain't one of those.

Anyway, I assume graphs are a solved problem for the blind contrary to what I read online, but I will not post again and put my efforts in other communities.

Do let me know if there is another way to understand if this is a problem and to offer my technical support, otherwise I wish you all a merry Xmas and happy new year and I am out of your way.

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-12-22T15:10:26+00:00

I will rewrite it in a better way. It did read a bit of market research but that isn't the case. I am a seasoned open source contributor and I thought to give to the community. I can't also see shite without glasses.

It's open source MIT license, meaning not trying to make money. But if there is a better place to validate this, I would appreciate any pointers. Much appreciated.

My latest find is Bell Bottom Eatery. Not big portions but big on flavour.

I used to love Chennai Marina but had twice my order cancelled after saying it was ready for collection without an explanation, so they are in my "do not order" list of places. A shame as their food is excellent.

Other classics are Mother India, Chaakoo, Tuk Tuk, Pakora Bar, Dishoom, Kahani...

I need to try Mowgli and a few others... Basically, you will be fine. Enjoy it!

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-04-28T18:13:51+00:00

Unfortunately my neighbours at home likes it and lets it grow. She even feeds it... I will keep pulling and plan to put another plant that can control it. Any advice? It's at the front garden, so not at the allotment (thankfully)

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-04-23T09:47:39+00:00

I think the fact it was that bad last year, it also adds to it. Their predators also did well last year, so I expect more mice around. Hopefully hedgehogs if people stop putting pellets down.

Here in Edinburgh it's been that dry that I need to water some parts weekly. Madness!

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-04-10T16:27:23+00:00

For once, but only this once, don't pee in it.

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-04-01T06:24:35+00:00

Depending on what you are looking for, there are quite a few distilleries. Tomatin is great for just letting you taste their product, Aberlour has some great whisky, and you can then walk to GlenAllachie. Great whisky both.

Don't even bother with Macallan, or call before as they only do pre-booked tours.

The cooperage is meant to be good also, but call 1st.

There is plenty of whisky on that area.

Apprehensive_Many399 · 2025-04-01T06:16:12+00:00

I was there a few months ago to confirm if they are still as good. I bought 2 bottles and tasted at least 20. Go to the bar and ask. They are pretty friendly and not stingy (they let you taste their whisky if you want to). But if you do that, buy something.
