You won’t be taken seriously if you push OpenSCAD - it’s simply not a tool that professionals will adopt due to not doing Breps. I think the recent progress of FreeCAD and its spin-off libraries cadquery and build123d will be better to push

That’s based on Anthropic’s retail price right? Not a fair comparison, like saying that Netflix must be losing money because every movie rental is $4 and a Netflix subscriber can watch 20 movies in a month.

image->html is a pretty involved task though. That’s basically a frontend dev’s job. $40 wouldn’t cover an hour of their time.

I don’t think anyone has to sell inference below cost. If Anthropic is GPU-constrained, then it makes sense for them to charge much much more on API users and push subscribers towards extra billing, because that’s the only knob they can tur

Yes, codex has had this ability for a while.

I agree the homepage is a weak sell, but an independent operator in Europe IS value. If it doesn’t really make a difference otherwise, why not choose a home server that is governed by and supports your home region of Europe? (obviously ther

Isn’t it bascially the same thing? You type what you want into the input box and it does what you ask for.

GPT-5.4 was already better than Opus 4.6 on a lot of areas, especially correctness and tricky logic. I’m eager to see if 5.5 is even better.

What is the switching cost besides launching a different program? Don’t you just need to type what you want into the box?

With Opus it’s hard to tell what was due to the tokenizer changes. Maybe using more tokens for the same prompt means the model effectively thinks more?
133.
by beering 6mo ago
Look up independent tests of the new tokenizer for opus 4.7. I don’t think it was double, more like 140%ish of Opus 4.6.

People subscribed to chatgpt before there was codex. Why wouldnt a Claude subscription stand on its own without Claude Code? In fact it’s probably a smart move for Anthropic to split it out.

Their enterprise API customers are literally competing to see who can throw the most money at Anthropic. Anthropic has very little reason to focus on a $20/month user, and with their current momentum (especially since enterprise deals

Agreed that it’s 100% marketing. In some ways Anthropic is more of a for-profit corporation than OpenAI which is at least partially owned by a non-profit.

Having too much usage and not enough GPUs is a form of financial pressure, no? since you want to replace your less profitable customers with more profitable customers

Similar to how damaging it is that people believe airplanes can “fly” when they in fact do nothing of the sort. After more than a hundred years of effort we have only managed to mimic flying yet billions of dollars continue to get poured in

makes sense, “a picture is worth a thousand tokens” as they say. They probably lowered the limit due to capacity issues.

Are you locked into your current subscription?

I think on HN we always underestimate how much momentum matters. Anthropic has so much clout and mindshare that even if they continue burning goodwill and everyone on HN ditches Claude Code and stops recommending it, they will still be reve

My experience has been that this isn’t generally true, mainly because worse models pursue red herrings or get confused and stuck. a better model will get to the correct solution in fewer tokens, and my surface-level understanding of how RL

The real question I see nobody asking is how GPT-5.4 beats Opus at a fraction of the price. I doubt it’s only a question of subsidization. My impression from the past is that GPT-5 was around a Sonnet-sized model, and 5-mini was Haiku-sized

People make a hobby out of tricking chat apps to leak their system prompt. But I doubt there’s much gain to be had by using this one vs coming up with a custom prompt.

But also, if you liked the feature, can’t you just ask chatgpt to tutor you? Does it work as well as the pre-baked Study Mode?

Set your default mode to thinking and set some custom instructions. Night and day difference in UX.

by beering 6mo ago
Yeah I set thinking as my default and never looked back. It’s my daily driver and extended thinking is usually not too slow. The way that the “instant” model trades quality for speed is not worth it and I don’t need the instant gratificatio

Or rather, it’s hard to ask everyone to side-by-side compare both products on their use cases. So the choice really comes down to word-of-mouth even though their use cases may be better served by Codex.

by beering 6mo ago
Codex also gives you a lot more usage for $20/mon than Claude, so there’s not also that fear that high or xhigh reasoning will eat up all your quota. It really comes down to whether you want to try to save some time or not. (I default
