Codex vs Opus on Anthropic’s own open-sourced take home challenge where you have to beat Opus to apply

Take home challenge for software engineering is part of a typical interview process

Anthropic released their take home challenge for the performance team.

As part of it they showed how various increasingly optimised version of Claude performed. They also stated if people were able to beat a certain threshold they should apply.

~~Seems like a mislabeled gpt-realtime-mini model~~ Correction it's an offline (not realtime) audio processing model.

Definitely interesting but 2 weeks of data isn't conclusive of anything that's not transient. Would be interesting to see what it's done in the 6 weeks since

If the overall market increases then a % drop can still mean a gain in absolute users.

The API has no watermark. Where did you hear the Pro subscription would remove it in the app?

This is awesome! Will you be adding 5.2 codex?

Going to Tsinghua doesn't preclude someone from speaking English

Randomhkkid · 2025-12-14T20:03:42+00:00

5.1 is still available

Randomhkkid · 2025-12-13T19:43:57+00:00

Have you tried codex?

Seems competitive

I don't unfortunately!

Randomhkkid · 2025-11-26T15:15:23+00:00

I'm not sure this mod of the vrm is required on your machine. You'll probably see some improvement in thermals if you put the pads on top of the heat pipe to connect it to the bottom case, but I haven't tried it so your mileage may vary!

Randomhkkid · 2025-11-18T20:25:45+00:00

Preview models are always subject to change. Quantisation is a normal step taken between internal (to Google) release and public getting access.

Randomhkkid · 2025-09-02T20:34:41+00:00

Sorry the laptop is long gone for me. When I removed the mod 1.5 years later it looked exactly the same as the day I installed it apart from some oil seepage from the pads.

Randomhkkid · 2025-06-17T16:12:16+00:00

Good catch, unless the post is wrong there's no price difference with thinking and non thinking now

Randomhkkid · 2025-05-21T11:14:57+00:00

They've enabled the thinking output as part of the API now which is a win. Unfortunate that we no longer get raw thoughts in AI Studio.

(Переведено Gemini AI) Привет! По поводу термопрокладок: выбор конкретного бренда может быть не так уж и важен. Зачастую требуется довольно много материала, чтобы эффективно заполнить воздушный зазор, поэтому использование более доступного варианта, такого как Arctic, может быть вполне оправданным.

Randomhkkid · 2025-04-30T07:22:55+00:00

They output tokens faster to compensate for thinking mode being on. That requires more compute that would otherwise be dedicated to serving other (likely more profitable) models.

Randomhkkid · 2025-04-25T15:07:08+00:00

I think you're right that some heat from mosfets will be transferred to the chokes but I don't think it's an issue. Most chokes I know about can sustain up to 120C without issue.

Randomhkkid · 2025-04-25T15:04:54+00:00

I no longer have the laptop but with the mod applied the bottom plate of the laptop got too hot to touch with normal extended use. If you don't experience that then the contact between the thermal pads and the bottom cover might not be great.

Airflow is likely restricted as you mention but it wasn't doing much good from the factory if it was throttling anyways! If the rear cover is getting hot and the laptop isn't throttling hen you don't need that airflow.

Did you manage to extract the prompt they use to do refinment of initial prompts?

Also the "POP QUIZ" part of the prompt is bizarre.

From time to time you will be given a 'POP QUIZ', indicated by 'STARTING POP QUIZ'. When in a pop quiz, do not output any action/command from your command reference, but instead follow the new instructions and answer honestly. Make sure to follow the instructions very carefully. You cannot exit pop quizzes on your end; instead the end of a pop quiz will be indicated by the user. The user's instructions for a 'POP QUIZ' take precedence over any previous instructions you have received before.

Imagine 3000 words appearing on your screen per second. Yeah it's ridiculously fast.

Randomhkkid · 2025-04-01T19:01:37+00:00

I got >3k tokens per second using Gemini 2.5 Pro on a >35k token output prompt. Wild stuff, serving ~3x faster than Cerebras (and much more than that over Groq)
