We go from 4.6 with default medium(!!) to 4.7 default xhigh. For anyone not paying attention to their CC model settings, they will see massive gains.

Lots of people showing off local Gemma 4 on iPhone. It would be hilarious if Gemma beats whatever franken-LLM the Siri/Gemini partnership births.

it's really starting to look like local AI at home is crossing the practicality/price ratio ppl actually running agents on consumer hardware now...

Benchmarked @DJLougen ’s Ornstein-27B-v2 Q6_K on my RTX 3090 using hermes-bench, my new open-source benchmarking UI for local LLMs and Hermes agents. Ornstein is a Qwen 3.5 27B fine-tune trained on reasoning traces filtered through a Drift Diffusion Model pipeline. Quality over quantity. The DDM separates “fake” reasoning (hedging, restating, circling) from the real thing with >99% sensitivity. Running llama.cpp + TurboQuant turbo3_tcq KV compression. LLM-as-judge scoring via Carnice-9b. Real tool calls, real execution, no synthetic evals. 12 tasks across two suites. Results thread below. 🧵 Model: huggingface.co/DJLougen/Ornst…

AIs aren’t good rule followers. The older the rule in the context window, the less priority it is given. So the best way to enforce the rules is with external tools that communicate failure to the AI. Acceptance testers, Linters, dependency checkers, C.R.A.P. analysis. Mutation testing. Etc. Productivity gains come from disengagement from the code. Let the AI worry about the code. You worry about everything else, including the code quality metrics.

@lessin …or you can sign up 3x the users using the same amount of compute. Every user gets the tiny-bit-dumber version of the model, nobody cancels because it’s still better than nothing, and you have almost returned to zero marginal cost per user.

@emollick This benchmark looks like “METR Time Horizon for Cyber”. Not saying concern is unwarranted, but is it really unexpected? Where is the benchmark for how capable Mythos is at fully testing/securing a network?

@iruletheworldmo Codex CLI is way behind Claude Code CLI. They just don’t have the shipping velocity of CC. Rust may have been a mistake. Spud may be a great model but it will be hobbled if they don’t fix the harness.

openai has obviously seen the money claude code is pulling in they’ve pivoted hard codex ain't no side project it’s becoming the main thing the $100 plan was the first tell next week is probably where that really starts to show up, they have big plans ^^ my guess: more codex plans more codex surface area and maybe the first public taste of the bigger stuff too spud new image model whatever else they’ve been hiding behind all this vagueposting either way i think next week is when codex stops looking like a tool and starts looking like the center of the product from what im hearing the spud will be incredibly strong. they've made some novel breakthroughs. i'm very excited.

@MatthewBerman @beffjezos The best setup is using Opus to drive Codex. You get the prototypical “cracked but socially inept” engineer without having to talk to him.

When you've been too locked in on Claude and finally try out GPT 5.4 high for a coding task only to realize what you've been missing out on for weeks...

@emollick Thought about asking ChatGPT for examples of these, but decided against it. I don't think I want to see the things that can't be unseen.

Chiasmus (reversing grammatical structures in two sentences for drama). Asyndetic tricolon (three items listed without a conjunction). Parataxis (short and somewhat disconnected dramatic sentences). Same stuff in every post and essay. Once you see it, it is everywhere.

A lot of our education on writing well focuses on logic, clarity, and argument. AI will force us to think more about style. The boredom that comes from everything on the internet reading Claude-y now, no matter how good the substance is, should make us appreciate variety more.

@RayFernando1337 For me the Claude app is basically just a remote renderer for Claude Code at this point. Just spin up a few remote-control instances in the morning and avoid the mobile limitations.

Opus 4.6 Extended chat on iOS is capped at 10k tokens for thinking which makes me burn more tokens for the same task. I’ve noticed the model used to take a lot longer to process my requests and it would do multiple tool calls to get work done the first time. Now I have to keep prompting the model multiple times and I don’t get the same outcome. It feels like the model is dumb because it makes too many tradeoffs and ends up wasting my time.

@noahzweben Ok..not so awesome. Now any Bash calls that use sleep error out. Opus doesn't seem smart enough to use Monitor tool (or it's not available yet) so it backgrounds all the polling and churns through thousands MORE tokens. Does not seem well thought out.

@noahzweben This is awesome. How do we get visibility into what triggers a turn? Or how do we steer it on what we want to trigger a turn? Some tool call hook shenanigans would be cool here!

Thrilled to announce the Monitor tool which lets Claude create background scripts that wake the agent up when needed. Big token saver and great way to move away from polling in the agent loop Claude can now: * Follow logs for errors * Poll PRs via script * and more!
