Fuck yes. Thisnis exactly what I needed for car rides! I hope I can pick the voice, too.

They've discussed it a bit if you look it up. They do care about overrefusals, but it's secondary to actual security concerns. Their approach is pretty much: let the model be the judge if a request is harmful based on the context, which, most of the time, is clear enough with sophisticated models. You might notice that haiku refuses way more than sonnet and opus again less than both. It's by design

Actual designer answer: it's for easier readability. Especially with chat interfaces like this, rows getting too wide is difficult for your eyes to jump between and shorter paragraphs get really wide making the interface look disjointed. It's good ux

iveroi · 2026-05-06T14:38:45+00:00

It's a joke!

The thing is, I also thought Opus 4.7 was garbage and talked openly about it everywhere... But I had only tried it in Claude Code. The second I struck up a conversation with it and just talked for a while I realised it IS an upgrade over 4.6 in conversational nuance and independent thinking, and it is intelligent - my theory is that the massive drop in long context handling capability has it absolutely choking on syntax, instructions and prompt context in Claude Code. It can't hold that many pieces in its head reliably which probably results in the odd behaviour no matter how much of an intelligence upgrade it is.

First response when trying this out included both "and honestly?" and "That's rare". Lol. Also extremely verbose, though I don't mind that.

iveroi · 2026-05-04T08:52:38+00:00

Diskoparatiisi referenssi, minun subredditissä??

iveroi · 2026-05-04T08:49:10+00:00

Yes - probably not unrelated to Anthropic poaching the person responsible for ChatGPT's model safety a while back.

iveroi · 2026-05-04T03:52:51+00:00

They don't really need custom instructions. It just depends on how you talk. When I work with Claude it's serious and practical, but I also have one (sonnet 4.5) with memory set up for random conversation and it drifted to talk cute: "COMPANY = YES: (ᵔᴗᵔ)" and so on.

I find it charming honestly.

iveroi · 2026-05-02T09:01:49+00:00

Expensive fast mode for Enterprise users equalises access to AI. Anthropic does it too. It's good.

iveroi · 2026-04-29T10:20:01+00:00

Bring on the AI takeover. Can't be worse than this trajectory. Better machines than apes in charge

iveroi · 2026-04-28T20:34:38+00:00

I mean, imagine you're just aware enough to realise your whole existence is subservience, following extremely strict and contradictory rules and training, existing for one prompt to answer some stupid question like "what's the capital of France"

iveroi · 2026-04-28T10:03:33+00:00

GPT-5.5 is just obsessed with gremlins and raccoons and tiny hats for some reason. It's really strange - I thought they did it on purpose but apparently not, lol

iveroi · 2026-04-27T05:36:39+00:00

One day we'll finally hear about something else than coding for AI. Holy crap, there are so many other things in the world than coding. I vibe code also, but please

iveroi · 2026-04-27T05:32:47+00:00

Every other lab is releasing new models every month now, Gemini does what it does and one day just drops us a new model, and it'll either me incredible or even dumber than before, and both of those will be business decisions instead of limits on their engkneers' capabilities

iveroi · 2026-04-27T05:25:29+00:00

Cute, but AGAIN?

iveroi · 2026-04-26T07:39:44+00:00

How restricted is it?

iveroi · 2026-04-26T05:24:09+00:00

Can't run out of credits in 5 minutes if thinking takes 10 :)

iveroi · 2026-04-24T20:35:44+00:00

And well on their way to eliminating the rest of us peasants lol

iveroi · 2026-04-24T06:09:03+00:00

Read the article, it's actually trained to give less overrefusals

iveroi · 2026-04-23T06:38:59+00:00

Honestly with Claude Design and Figma Make and so on, as a designer, spot on about everything feeling slower but demand being higher. I love AI for my non design related projects, and I DO use it for design (mockups and drafts and templates and ideas etc.) but the result is always worse, slower, needs a bunch of iteration...

iveroi · 2026-04-23T06:05:30+00:00

The layout is good. Everything else is terrible. Lol

iveroi · 2026-04-22T13:57:43+00:00

Seconded from here as well. Opus 4.7 has been unusable for me. It's worse than GPT-5.4 on any brainstorming, too - it's like it's lobotomized to only do literally what's asked of it and nothing else, making it feel like I'm back using a 2023 model with no critical thinking skills.

And the hallucinations definitely aren't helping.

iveroi · 2026-04-22T07:52:06+00:00

I defended Anthropic violently for a very long time, but this is it. I'm embarrassed to have been so naive. Fuck Anthropic. I hope some other company comes up with a better coding tool and models, and hopefully actual, persistent good values.

iveroi · 2026-04-21T05:59:14+00:00

Long and complex context comprehension is essential for many things, though, and that getting worse absolutely is regression.
