At least 1.5B by stealing books, per a recent ruling.

I don’t feel sorry for the model companies

I keep all my passkeys in 1 password. So magical

Yeah nobody wants to balance their answers with Nazi ideology (far right basically) in their tuning except Grok

I doubt that. What stops the Chinese labs from figuring it out? It’s not like these models are fundamentally different from each other

I use spec-driven development heavily (generate architecture docs + specs first). Opus still get lost often and have to be nudged constantly. Like it can get super detailed for something like some deep SQL optimization but it just can't keep hold of the bigger picture.

Agree. Deepseek has also been pretty good for my personal use.

I'm struggling to see the moat for these models. What's stopping a competitor or a Chinese lab fromr releasing a comparable one?

Of course it's all about building the hype for the IPO :)

I've been running Opus 4.8 for agentic coding and I don't see it being significantly better than Sonnet 4.5 (not that I can tell). I find that pairing Google Gemini and Claude (having Gemini review Claude's code) seems to yield better results. Curious if this jump to 80.3% score in agentic coding will make me see a big difference in actual usage.

Appples architecture prevents them from seeing customers data (see Private Cloud Compute documentation). Data that Gemini Assistant (not referring to the distilled version Apple uses) see goes straight to Google. Big difference here.

Weird to say it but the only assistant with any guarantee for privacy by design is Siri at the moment.

Good luck with that. This reminds me of the inspiration of declarative programming languages such as Prolog - you're supposed to declare the problems in such a way that the machine can solve it - rather than the imperative way where you tell the machine what to do. What they didn't realize that the definition is harder than the solution itself.
