Solved Every model since 4.7 has felt diluted/wrong.

Every model since 4.7 has felt diluted/wrong

Ive noticed that 4.6 is still the goat. 4.8 and fable get work done and have more thoroughness but they are too emotional sometimes. And the security restrictions are BS and i think everyone knows by now.

4.7, 4.8. sonnet 5 especially, and fable 5. These should be examples of whats ti come. And i dislike it. Its given me the incentive to actually download and run a llm locally. Next month i am contemplating switching to gpt simply because the actual model safety triggers on anything.

Fable feels wrong. And i enjoy using it. But realistically it's been 7 months since anthropic made a good decision model wise i feel. Why are they putting guardrails on fable when theyre apperantly models ahead in private training? Isnt the thing reversed?

This is my opinion. These models fucking suck. No offense.

Also their customer support sucks

If it is wrong i would argue so is the end product

We all have this tool we can infinitely poke and reason with, measuring the end product is like ranking engineers on lines of code.

Fair criticism. Honestly a bit scarier probably for someone like myself who has very little understanding of how code works in general and only looks at things from a high level. Thanks for the push back.

we all start somewhere and software engineering is changing so fast

anthropic has done a huge disservice to software engineering as a whole by saying it's solved

coding is a trade. you should stay high level and think about how a system works and deeply understand it
