Anthropic can't seem to get a win lately. Claude code hangover, their lunch is getting eaten by Chinese OSS on the value side and GPT-5 High on the quality side. I may be in a minority but I am still quite bullish on them as a company. Even with GPT-5 out they still seem to have a monopoly on taste - Claude is easily the most "human" of the frontier models. Despite lagging in features compared to ChatGPT Web, I mostly ask Claude day-to-day kinds of questions. It's good at inferring my intent and feels more like a real conversation partner. Very interested to see their next release.
