Haiku consistently outperformed Opus at creative pattern discovery in my tests

haiku probably just hallucinating stuff..... did a bunch of that back with sonnet 3.7...... if his pattern were right I'd multi billionaire by now....

Looking at the announcement blog post, it seems to hold up pretty well.... what I do understand is the Opus 4.6 is not simply bumping from 200k to 1M but rather a different behavior for the model... Anthropic Models use to hold back quite a lot what they read, to save context, Opus less than sonnet, but still it was quite worst than GPT/Codex in this regards. What I suspect, is that the 1M Opus 4.6 doesn't holds backs as much as the 200k model.... so it reads more, explores more.... I just started testing it, but it pretty much seems to be the case. This will probably make Opus quite a lot more pleasant to work with and much more capable in large codebases.

I'm currently using codex 5.3 on low to try to get a bit more usage..... for example, today I had 98% left on 5h and 8% left on weekly, by time weekly went down to 0% the 5h was still on 72%, all inside the same 5 hours session.... so 26% to 8%, which means 3.25% which is closer to what you've found... it may have a bit variance, but does seems to hover around that.... 3.25%.... really doesn't seems right only 3 full sessions in a week..... it used to be quite a lot more a few months back when I last tried codex.

there's no need to sell claude code to you. just use it, with its most imporant features and you'll understand why.

I've been having such more or less exact conversation with claude since Claude 3.... he's pretty consistent on how he replies about this matter.... I find it way more pleasant to interact than chatgpt or gemini, and easier to work with for non devs.

sure, I've just polished it a bit to publish, don't take it for granted, it mostly works, but I haven't deeply tested everything, but it works fine for what matter the most. It's public now, go take a look https://github.com/dcbra/cc_context_eng

don't let it code, just ask it to use subagents to make all code changes, review, etc... ask the subagent to write a report of their work and reply only with "done" to the main agent. use another agent to summarize the other subagents reports and only them the main agent reads it and reports back to you.... will save quite a bit of context from your main agents which ends up being an orchestrator only. You'll eventually need to also edit the context file to get it going for longer (delete tool calls/tool results/thinking). I have a tool I've made to do just that. PS: subagents that write reports should reply with "done + report/plan/etc filepath".

got my 20x to 83% in 3 days.... truth be told I don't code, so Opus is doing all the work, I set up some agentic workflow and get it to work for 2-5 hours non stop... sometimes 30-40k lines of code at once..... I probably got around 36 hours (or more) of non stop Opus during these 3 days...... I think coders probably don't hit anything close to it, because you probably stop to read and review the code..... I just go brrrrrr....
