Did you not see the live stream? They took a feature request for excalidraw (table support) and Claude 4 worked on it for 90 minutes and the PR was working as expected. I’m not sure if they were using sonnet or opus.
Pre-prepared demos don't impress me.
By that logic sport athletes don’t impress you. Movies don’t impress you. Theater doesn’t impress you. Your date won’t impress you. Becoming a parent won’t impress you.
Most things in life take years of preparation.
The issue with preprepared demos is that you can carefully curate the scenario and make choices that you know are likely to show the best outcome, out of a wide range of possibilities. If you know your model (or VC product demo etc) performs poorly under certain conditions, you simply avoid them. This is a reason to be somewhat skeptical about demos.
No, the logic would be that a football player's 40 time doesn't impress, because you want to see the on field performance. Or a movie trailer doesn't impress, because it's only meant to get you to watch the movie which might be trash. A first date won't impress you, it will take multiple dates to understand and love a human.
etc.
