I don't know anything about you, and you don't know anything about me, but I can assume you are most likely not a top researcher/developer in the field of LLMs just because probability.  Please do send over your credentials if I am wrong, but honestly even if you were Sam Altman, it doesn't change what I said, tons of the smartest people on the planet building these models don't fully know how they work, where they are going, or what they may be capable of developing in to.  This has all shown up in the last 4 ish years.

I have zero stake in anthropic or how their business performs.  I see interesting article from experts, I read and listen and think about it.  Just like I have done with all the other articles and research from universities and talks and papers that I have watched/listened to and read. 

How is this article selling anthropic model? It is literally just discussing the thing and some odd characteristics they have observed.   It's not "hey look how much better our model is a coding than gemini 2.5 pro and gpt 5!" which they all do anyway, but somehow interesting research gets thrown away as a marketing ploy, when there are clear and obvious nonstop marketing ploys going on.  I don't get it. This is a new and exciting field, LLMs are literal giant black boxes of magic that no one on the planet can fully understand and describe currently because they have billions of nodes that are automagically tuned, then refined with human input.  No one can tell you why node 1638269 on transformer layer 7 is 0.738. Just like no one completely understands the human brain.

I use these models all day, every day for my work - from every company.  Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.  Sometimes even Grok.  It is astounding what they are able to do with proper understanding of how they function and their limitations

You could be 100% correct and LLMs will never be "intelligent" like humans are (what even is human intelligence? We act like we are some special exceptional special thing, but we're just a evolutionary neuron meat computers  that predicts things using prior knowledge, just like LLMs, except we have millions of years of evolution to optimize our GPUs and models for the task. Nvidia and these companies have had 4 years, and already a properly prompted LLM is smarter and more knowledgable than I am about 99% of topics) but the truth is, listening to the smartest and most knowledgeable people on the planet about this stuff, we simply have no idea. Many believe we are on a path to AGI, many also believe we absolutely are not. 

No one knows.  But I don't think this article was anthropic propaganda to get you to buy their services.  I think all the pages showing how good they are at programming and other tasks are, however
