I got this working with my LLM tool (new plugin version: llm-anthropic 0.14) and figured out a bunch of things about the model in the process. My detailed notes are here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/25/llm-anthropic-014/

One of the most exciting new capabilities is that this model has a 120,000 token output limit - up from just 8,000 for the previous Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and way higher than any other model in the space.

It seems to be able to use that output limit effectively. Here's my longest result so far, though it did take 27 minutes to finish! https://gist.github.com/simonw/854474b050b630144beebf06ec4a2...

Simon, do you write anywhere how do you manage to be so... active? Between your programming tools, blogging, job (I assume you work?) where do you find the time/energy?
