Can't trust a company which can halve a subscription any moment they want.

I love Astra pelicans! Awesome results!

Absolutely BRUTAL! :)

Thank you for doing this, I love your benchmark the most!

Impressive pelicans!

So the issue was in large context size of these old sessions.

These pelicans are awful.

Also not a fan of country/folk, but today I learned about her special albums trilogy: The Grass Is Blue, Little Sparrow, and Halos & Horns. Quite different music!

Some songs I added to my playlist :)

> You can still see what you’re billed on the Spending page.

No, you can not: https://www.pasteboard.co/dNXUdT-h8Giy.png

If you want to say that "admin can" - it doesn't matter, I'm not going to ping admin every day to check how it goes. I'm not going to ask admin about every session to check how cost efficient a model was.

“Physically accurate” indeed raises the bar significantly.

You’ve already done great work here. That said, the feedback seems to come from someone who spent considerable time analyzing your work. Even if only a few of the suggestions are ultimately valuable, that’s still a meaningful contribution and worth considering.

And now your CLAUDE.md is only good for Claude 5 models, not previous ones.

> Then: Give Claude rules

> Now: Let Claude use judgement

No, it should follow my rules exactly. I don't care what code examples it was trained on - it will either write code the way I want, or I'll use another model.

Why we should waste 46 minutes instead of briefly looking at charts for 20 seconds? To pay their ads? No, thanks.

Any benchmark where Sol is better than Fable at coding is ridiculous.

The article is titled "Why Vanilla JS," but the takeaway seems to be "here are the custom abstractions I wrote."

GPT 5.6 Sol is a token hog. After implementing the task, it started some "reviews" I didn't ask for - they consumed 19.5M and 11.9M tokens, while the task itself was below 5M tokens.

If for 2% of users a webpage will not look as awesome as intended (it's not guaranteed that it will be broken), that's ok. It's not poisoning - it's a 98% chance of getting a top mark.

Start fixing the unfixable and doing the undoable things ;)

Doesn't look like a sport car. From above it actually looks like a phone. The main thing is that the charging port isn’t on the bottom.

> Ask it if a microservices architecture makes sense for your three-person team and it’ll explain why microservices are an excellent choice

If you ask it to be fair and non-biased and provide pros and cons and give possible alternatives - it will. The catch - you might understand the explanation if you don't know the domain good enough.

Overall - a very, VERY good article, thank you!

If you think that you can just silently modify the model without any announcements and only react when it doesn't go through unnoticed, then be 100% sure that your clients will check every possible alternative and will leave you as soon as they find anything similar in quality (and no, not a degraded one).

> people didn't understand to use /effort to increase intelligence, and often stuck with the default -- we should have anticipated this

UI is UI. It is naive to expect that you build some UI but users will "just magically" find out that they should use it as a terminal in the first place.

Absolutely awesome, thank you, Lewis!

> Skills are great for pure knowledge and teaching an LLM how to use an existing tool. But for giving an LLM actual access to services, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the far superior

That's it. For some things you need MCP, for some things you need SKILLs - these things coexist.

I am a web developer with 21 years of experience (you can read my blog here: https://medium.com/@eugeniyoz).

By combining my technical background with the strategic use of AI agents, I adapt quickly to any tech stack. I review every line of generated code to ensure strict alignment with current best practices.

There are open-source alternatives:

https://mochi1ai.com/

https://wan.video/

and others. There are free to use tools also.

This market will not be abandoned, and other tools already exist:

https://klingai.com/global/

https://aistudio.google.com/models/veo-3

https://runwayml.com

I don't know - it works okay (yet to be tested whether it is actually smarter than Opus 4.6), but it is not bad at all. So far, it works quite fine (I'm not testing the "fast" version).

Not in my experience. Quoting my tweet:

Gave the same prompt to GPT 5.4 (high) and Opus 4.6 (high).

GPT 5.4 implemented the feature, refactored the code (was not asked to), removed comments that were not added in that session, made the code less readable, and introduced a bug. "Undo All".

Opus 4.6 correctly recognized that the feature is already implemented in the current code (yeah, lol) and proposed implementing tests and updating the docs.

Opus 4.6 is still the best coding agent.

So yeah, GPT 5.4 (high) didn't even check if the feature was already implemented.

Tried other tasks, tried "medium" reasoning - disappointment.
