I don't use Claude, but isn't the consensus right now that Opus 5 is worse than previous generations? I suppose you could just commit to always using Fable and never use Opus, but it > might decide your 8yo is actually trying to build a cleverly disguised bomb so her request gets silently downgraded to a dumber model My contention isn't that models haven't improved or won't keep improving – my position is that the business goals of our American AI firms (Anthropic especially) aren't necessarily aligned with continuing to make those improved models available to the public forever. We need only look at the Mythos/Fable split for evidence of this happening already. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1vgpyni/my_opus_5_experience_in_a_nutshell/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1vgpyni/my_opus_5... https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1vgq0jm/opus_5_after_working_for_an_hour_straight/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1vgq0jm/opus_5_af... https://www.reddit.com/r/claude/comments/1vfvdgz/anthropic_losing_aura_slowly/ https://www.reddit.com/r/claude/comments/1vfvdgz/anthropic_l...

    They will be incentivized to compete with open models whether those open models comes from China, Google or, likely in the future, the U.S. Government.

      Regulatory capture implies that they won't need to compete because competitors – including open source models – will be regulated out of the competition.

        Chinese open source models. Not U.S. ones unless I am missing someting.

Explain how you square this with leaderboards showing models are clearly improving in ELO. These are blind taste tests, not benchmaxxing.

  > Explain how you square this with leaderboards showing models are clearly improving in ELO If I had to guess, the benches aren't measuring what people care about. But you'll have to ask the people in those Reddit threads why their vibes don't match up with your benches, I don't use Claude and don't give a shit.
