I don't subscribe to the 1st take, I think it's an over extrapolation and a bit dramatic in the form.

But the 2nd hell yeah! Why the hell they don't say thank you!

That kind of issue is exactly why Im so happy to have LLMs, let it take one hour or trial and error instead of me spending a day digging traces

I struggle to imagine where anthropic is going with sub users...

Fable 5 might not be accessible for sub in the future despite their "best effort".

And 5.6-sol is as expensive as 5.5, so highly probable to be kept in sub.

So what's the plan? Hoping people stay on ClaudeCode because Sonnet 5 while Codex offers 5.6-sol to subsription peasants?

Seems risky

If it's the case then software engineers still have the same place as pre-ClaudeCode era, because 4.8 and 5.5 are damn good at algo but notoriously bad at architecture and coordination.

I believe the ideal solution would be to take a genAI image from gpt-image2 and transform it onto a pseudo-deterministic layout.

Did anyone tried a non-naive approach, aka throwing the image with a simple "rebuild it" prompt ?

It's all speculation.

Reality is Fable is x2 price increase against previous.

GPT5.5 is x2 price increase against previous. And after the last week reset, codex is hungry for your sub allowance.

Everybody can see that the massive raises are not matching the revenue, at all.

It's a surprising headline. Yes it does make sense to cut the price to gain market share, but it also make sense to keep it at a sustainable level, which seems to not have been reached yet.

I'm making a 3D game and I hate flat worlds, a planet is much more elegant, both finite and infinite in gameplay terms since the surface is not expandable, but you can't hit a world border at the same time.

Cartesian coordinates doesn't work well for the player so I wanted a lat/long/altitude grid system.

I could have spent few days walking through stackoverflow and debuging my upcoming flawed implementation.

ChatGPT web version almost one shot the helpers in 2024 and boy, there were a lot of pitfalls.

Yes I got how they used the phrase. And it was wrong, so I wanted to react. Thanks for your addition, it dissipates any doubt on the intention of OP: he thinks Anthropic is hiding the lack of power by pretending it's too dangerous. But he is wrong to assume that without proof, hence my reaction.

I agree, saying "it's clear" when at best, "it's plausible" doesn't let the conversation happen. And pretending to know what is going on behind the scene, anon on HN is not credible

It's not clear, there is no tangible proof that Mythos is not released because they don't have compute power to serve it. Saying that would imply that the "too dangerous" is a lie. Nobody has proof. It can feel "clear" for you, but it's not. Hence, I correct it.

Unsure about that, opus was already insanely good and we got it for a fractional cost via subscriptions.

They want the plebs, they want the mass.

Yeah and apparently, Mythos is pretty effective at finding critical issues. So it seams to be a good product served with a genius offer. Anthropic founding engineers are already comfortable, they will end rich.

They did produce great value, claude code and opus 4.5 are a singularity in software engineering.

The job we practiced for decades simply doesn't exist anymore.

I don't have enough elements to conclude if the world would collapse if Mythos was released publicly without Glasswing.

Nor publicly or in my internal reasoning. I rarely conclude without proof or very intense and clear intuition.

From a strategic PoV it makes sense to check if their model is dangerous, I wouldn't want to have my brand name associated with "NK hacker team find zero day in all linux servers of the web and ..."
