How is the hype cooling? Opus 5.5 is doing most of my job

I’m buying, this is the greatest invention of all time and Anthropic has garnered a pretty solid lead right now.

YCombinator is not a social company. They actually do a ton to try to stop this stuff, it's just hard.

Depends on where you work... where I happen to work people sit in Jira meetings all day and in the time they talk about it my team implements it.

So yes "literally everyone has access to it" (what a revelation) but you still need to be smart in how you use it

That’s not what we are empirically seeing though. There is also no way of knowing that things can’t be progressing for the next 5 years. No foundational model company would be spending the amount they are on research if they thought it wasn’t going to pan out

What would possibly tell you that?

Off in the sense that he shouldn’t be running the company?

It was always benchmaxxed

It does because you can now just steamroll features out the door and make everyone look bad that’s sitting around in meetings all day

You do still need to know though, different prompts have different affects on them.

It’s basically because LLMs supersede all of these. The ability to reason, research, and write code applies to everything else and will speed up the innovation cycles there significantly.

Google is losing in the race that really matters

So crazy, at one point they had 3 different systems for interacting with Gemini, all with different auth.

For a company that prides themselves on the smartest engineers, they really struggle with the basics

Oh that built on a bunch of ideas that weren’t far off. It was a great discovery but like many it’s standing in tall shoulders

Quantization also started picking up around then, as well as distillation into smaller models

Love monarch, amazing primitives and feels so much lighter than Ray.

Another awesome add on their part
