I've tried all of the models available right now, and Claude Opus is by far the most capable.
I had an assertion failure triggered in a fairly complex open-source C library I was using, and Claude Opus not only found the cause, but wrote a self-contained reproduction code I could add to a GitHub issue. And it also added tests for that issue, and fixed the underlying issue.
I am sincerely impressed by the capabilities of Claude Opus. Too bad its usage is so expensive.
Probably because the alternatives are OpenAI, Google, Meta. Not throwing shade at those companies but it's not hard to win the hearts of developers when that's your competition.
On the other hand I feel like 5.2 gets progressively dumbed down. It used to work well, but now initial few prompts go in right direction and then it goes off the rails reminding me more of a GPT-3.5.
Cause they make the best coding model.
It's that simple. Everyone else is trying to compete in other ways and Anthropic are pushing for dominate the market.
They'll eventually lose their performance edge and suddenly they will back to being cute and fluffy
I've cancelled a clause sub, but still have one.
Agreed.

Thanks, I’ll try out Codex to bridge until local models get to the level I need.
Anthropic is astroturfing most of the programming forums including this one.
Because OpenAI is on the back foot at the moment, they need the retention

I wonder what they are up to.
