I do not believe this story.
Opus 4.8 scanned hundreds of PDFs for me recently with the worst handwriting imaginable. 100% successful, other than one record where even I could not figure out what was written.
- 9cb14c1ec0 4mo agoI believe it. Makes me curious what your prompt was that got such a good result out of Opus.
- jokethrowaway 4mo agolikely just opus being dumbed down to prepare for fable
- bpodgursky 4mo agoI ordered it to not be lazy and to show me result 1 at a time rather than doing it in batch.
- Insanity 4mo agoI do not believe this story, because of the message I just posted above. That's not really productive lol, I'm glad it worked for you but these models are non-deterministic and 'YMMV' very much applies everywhere. I had it parse receipts (in fairness, in variable lightning), all taken from iPhone cameras in the past year. And yeah, not a great job, about 20% failed to get the date correct. (Not outrageously wrong, e.g 05/20/2026 becomes 05/23/2026. YMMV, glad it worked for you.
- bpodgursky 4mo agoAre you sure you weren't using Sonnet or a low-effort reasoning mode?
- Insanity 4mo agoYes, lol
