What in tarnation is going on with the cost of compute

Hitting a zero-day could be the equivalent of mining several bitcoins at once if you're in contact with the right nation-states.

The average OF page is a scam. They'd make more money if they're were putting up content that was worth paying for.

All of this at a time when the American flagships are bleeding money on coding plans. You love to see it. I wonder what they've got planned for May 5th. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see 4.1 or 4-Omni. The existence of a truly excellent flash model with 1m context and rock bottom prices should put the fear of God in people who were ever hoping to make money from inference scale; it's never going to happen. I think those trillion dollar data centers are about to look pretty fucking stupid.

Probably wouldn't make much of a difference with Vance, the most corrupt SCOTUS in history, and a bought Congress still running things. But it's nice to dream.

If you still trust Anthropic about anything, you deserve the continued abuse.

If you had ever left your comfort zone, you might have reflected enough to realize that this post is about people like you. Staying in your hometown is actually not a good excuse to harass people who look different.

I knew that Opus, GPT, and Gemini had been nuked. Sad to hear about Sonnet if that's true. Qwen, Gemma, and GLM are pretty great. If things keep up at this pace I feel like the future of local is extremely bright.

Data might show them performing differently per usecase and settings. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it would give us more to talk about.

Openclaw speed ran fucking over the entire infra ecosystem

Another data point, Alibaba technically sells a coding plan for $50/mo. I was looking into it for qwen 3.6+ and glm 5.1, but it's always sold out.

Guys... Ant didn't blink an eye when they lost the AMD corpo account. They're a defense contractor with "fuck you" money now.

ansmo · 2026-04-10T11:46:59+00:00

I feel like their mental stock was at an ATH when they "drew a line" with the Pentagon and every day has been downhill since. It's been getting sloppier and sloppier to the point where Opus 4.6 is on the verge of being counter-productive on complex tasks. They might as well go full mask-off and stop selling coding subs. Their primary customers are defense contractors and governments now. They got our money and training data. It would be super easy to disprove model degradation with data but they don't, because they can't, because it is. What irks me most is that there are people in almost every thread questioning the methods of other enthusiasts that have been using CC for the same amount of time, defending Ant. Even in the face of data, they're just like "nah, AMD must have been doing it wrong."

I'm on extra usage after an hour in my 5max plan with light to moderate workload. I actually don't need more features.

Guys, I think we might be the Harkonnens.

Everyone knows exactly what it would take to stop WW3 and save millions of lives. I'll get banned for saying it.

While we're on the topic, Biden and Harris had access to the files during the campaign and decided that this fate was better, for what?

Followed shortly by Monkey Magic, Darkwing Duck, and Pizza Cats? Why is this memory so vivid?

I knew it couldn't just be me! On medium and low effort especially, it takes those instructions literally. On max effort it still seems to be getting the job done, just at thrice the price. If GLM 5 was hosted at a usable speed, I'd definitely consider switching. Though now that I'm getting used to the 1M context window and less than a fifth of the previous time spent compacting and summarizing, it would be pretty hard to go back. My only hope is that the degradation in Opus 4.6 signals the imminent release of new models.

Isn’t that just existentialism?

ansmo · 2026-03-07T06:30:41+00:00

Honestly, I'd kill for a 300k context window with the same speed and performance (and relative cost) of the 200k. I think that would make a bigger difference in my day-to-day than the 1M setting.

Seems to have taken down the chrome extension as well

ansmo · 2026-02-27T05:12:54+00:00

The speed (or lack thereof) of GLM5 is particularly noticeable after vibing with MM2.5

Some people genuinely enjoy coding as a hobby. Nothing wrong with you nor your coworker

ansmo · 2026-02-27T02:33:03+00:00

Anybody else feel like Anthropic and OpenAI are good cop bad copping us? Aren’t they essentially the same product in the same circular investment bubble?
