> Is it, though?
Yes, it truly is.
Open models are extremely capable, as benchmark after benchmark has indicated.
Beyond that, for the vast majority of software development (including cybersecurity), the open models are there already. All that without having to pay the hefty Anthropic premium, not to mention all their bullshit with pretending their model is some sort of WMD and their awful uptime (although, to their credit, they seem more stable than Github).
I cannot fathom why anyone uses their service.
As basically every subject matter expert has stated again and again, benchmarks do not tell reveal anything meaningful and have effectively no relation to the model's actual capabilities.
Which is why I actually used all those models.
At work I am stuck with Claude because it is what the employer provides.
In my home setup I use a combination of different models; mostly GLM-5.3, DS-V4-Flash, and MiMo-2.5-pro.
I vastly prefer my home setup.
You didn't really address my point. You just... stated your own.
I definitely did. I ws talking about how in a world where open models exist and are very much capable, Anthropic is sort of a joke.
You asked if that is true, and speculated about mythos.
Uninterested in speculating about mythos, I explained why it is irrelevant anyway.
This was a successul conversation.
Glad you think so.
