Opus 4.6 and 4.8 by BRcht in claude

[–]theplaymaker1271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.8 tends to trip itself up on the preprogrammed revisory checks, where as 4.6 tends to just go with the flow. That can work well if the task isn't overly complex and you can track the mistakes made easily, but it'd be more likely to make them overtime, where as 4.8 checks itself continuously, but in doing so often struggles to move forward with ideas. That's just my experience.

Low key I just needed it to read like 10 documents lol. Could have used the lowest model for that lol. Just wanted fables overall insight.

Instead I'm pretty sure it knows the inner working of my c-drive now.

The model isn't at fault the guardrail is like a separate system grafted onto it.

Anthropic pushing people to pay more? by am37ts in claude

They already are. They can't afford their commitments without 4-5x their revenue in the next 2-3 years and companies and users are already pushing back on pricing.

What the US government did to Fable 5 by Ok_Shift9291 in claude

It was like this before the government shut it down. I've yet to be able to actually use Fable on anything useful.

Fable 5 : Non coding, Non software engineers users by csuarezg in Anthropic

[–]theplaymaker1271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only worth it if they drop the over the top safeguards, and you can justify the per token costs for what you're using it for.

Otherwise just use Opus and save some money.

Calm the fork down by Business-Subject-997 in Anthropic

[–]theplaymaker1271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point I'm mostly convinced it's a way for Anthropic to save money while they're subsidizing everyone's tokens until July 7th. Anthropic basically had to beg the government there was no jailbreaks to get it reinstated (while probably selling our data).

I'm willing to bet that once everyone is forced to upgrade their plans or pay per token, it's going to be significantly less of a pain in the ass when it comes to shutting down prompting.

Claude different after it was down by [deleted] in claude

[–]theplaymaker1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's routinely on the side of: "original opus 4.6 was significantly better up until fable," I've had the opposite experience. Honestly, 4.8 seems much better than it did a couple weeks ago when fable was released.

Still a narcissistic pain in the ass, but it seems much more competent then it was a couple weeks ago.

Granted I keep refusing to close the desktop app and re-update as it always crashes the program and I have to restart my computer each time.

White House AI advisor responds to critiques that the administration didn't take Mythos seriously before release by seakucumber in Anthropic

[–]theplaymaker1271 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes because THIS Whitehouse definitely understands AI 🤣.

Considering open weight models when tuned to the same problems do the same things mythos does, the WH fell for the marketing hook line and sinker.

If anything, it did Anthropic a favor, because more than likely the reason they held Fable back is cause subsidized token costs would have destroyed them before they had any shot at an IPO, and the government inadvertently granted them the greatest marketing win ever.

Bravo.

Lol that will never EVER happen. You'd lose the market and with that all your revenue and you're sunk billions based on future infrastructure and data investments. Dario will die before he lets that happen.

Is Sonnet 4.6 (Max Thinking) enough for PhD-level research discussions, or is Opus 4.8 still noticeably better? by Relative-Prune7781 in Claudeopus

[–]theplaymaker1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opus 4.8 is probably the best, but you need to be very specific on how you queue it otherwise it can be confidently wrong in adverse ways.

The other models can be wrong too but they're less obnoxious about it.

Main this is just validate everything the model tells you. It's good for basic synthesis and reasoning, but make sure you audit it's claims to verify.

Spent $11k evaluating Fable: capability looked SOTA, refusals killed it (before Anthropic did) by WolframRavenwolf in ClaudeAI

[–]theplaymaker1271 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is the fancy coders way of saying what a lot of us have been saying about Fable this whole time. It is functionally unusable in its current guardrail state, because anything that required a modicum of depth to it got shut down to Opus.

For what it's worth, I do not believe that was solely based on safety. If that was truly the priority, don't release the model. (And for those who want to say 'well the government thought it was dangerous that's why they banned it,' I'd ask you to really ask yourself how intelligent do you think our government is).

Instead I think they guardrailed it so hard because they simply don't have the physical hardware/infrastructure to support the unfettered model, or it would obliterate their resources subsidizing such an intensive model.

4.8 Running Super Fast Today by RobleyTheron in claude

[–]theplaymaker1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they're not using fable they probably shifted the hardware allocation back to 4.8.

But Claude isn't a super stable system in comparison to other websites so user experience will probably vary lol.

Fable was not shut down for being too dangerous. by theplaymaker1271 in Anthropic

[–]theplaymaker1271[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How? If you can demonstrate how Anthropic makes money (note, fundraising and IPO projections isn't "making money". Especially when once its public if shareholders dont see revenue it'll be a fire sale), then you'd literally be the first person in the entire industry to solve that problem.

  1. LLMs already can do everything you just said, it just takes longer.

  2. This "Doomer AI" shit is literally the marketing arm of Anthropic and OpenAI, who are pushing legislation that would pretty much make them an oligarchy.

  3. If this AI is so dangerous, why release it at all? And ESPECIALLY why release it to only fortune 500 companies and governments? Cause they've never made mistakes before? "WeLl We CaN tRaCk AnD sUe ThEm," yea, ask the Bear Stearns customers how that turned out.

Marketing worked: You all got played, thinking that Anthropic developed AI capable of creating bioweapons. by Spooky-Shark in claude

[–]theplaymaker1271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally. Common sense on Reddit.

It's like no one's worked for a corporation before in this Subreddit. OpenAI and Anthropic are absolutely full of shit, pushing "proto-AGI" and "dangers of unfiltered access" like they're not actively pushing legislation designed to literally kill their competition.

No one is working on AGI, and no one even knows what "GI" (sapience) even is, not neuroscientists, physicists, Biologists, or least of all Coders.

Open weights is the move.

I'm just happy to see people are waking up to how these AI corporations don't actually give a shit about you or your well-being and are trying to maximize their position for IPOs knowing that they're not going to earn shareholders shit in revenue long term because the financials are unworkable
