I used claude for the first time in months yesterday (have been using codex, ran out of resets this week). I had picked up from general consensus comments that 5.5 had fixed the opus 5 issues, but that's far from the case. Its "personality" is still smartass, know it all, and whiny. It disregards specifications in tickets if it thinks it knows better. It complains about the size of tasks when it reads task descriptions. I've gotten used to codex, which just jumps in and does stuff (which of course carries its own set of issues). I have no love for Altman, but their product is still better at the moment.

The post was about their uptime. How is this relevant.

Even if it vaguely is, why do people think subjective anecdotal thoughts about which model is better are a good discussion topic. If there’s an objective evaluation idea that would be useful.

I run evals for a very specific domain. Opus 5.5 is still the industry leader (we can’t use Fable class yet).

It's relevant because there's only so many "yep it's down" comments that are interesting. They have a technology problem which isn't fixed. They're about to go IPO. Their marketing is clearly still working, but subjective experience with both contradicts the marketing.

What do your evals test for?

We come here to share our experiences with tech so yeah it is relevant. His anecdotes are just as valid as yours.

		Let's just post company names as title then, so people talk about whatever problem they have with the it, not the thread topic.

Anthropic's products appeal to a certain kind of audience. This is all very much as intended.

manager thinking

you'd rather have a subject that does exactly as told, or that does what's right?
