@MichaelStolarzuhhhh, 4.5, are you ok?
"Explicitly, Mike explicitly is explicitly experiencing explicitly cognitive explicitly overload explicitly possibly explicitly, explicitly so explicitly explicit task explicitly clarity explicitly explicitly supports explicitly psychological..."
@MichaelStolarzso far with sonnet 3.7 (non-thinking), i haven't reached the moment of "damn, I guess I can't do that yet with coding LLMs, gotta wait for the next upgrade"
which is super exciting, but also scary (in a good way, like a mysterious way ykwim?)
@MichaelStolarzwhat sonnet 3.5 was for coding (revolutionary, especially with agent/tool use),
gpt 4.5 is for everything else (revolutionary, especially with detailed instructions and iteration)
@MichaelStolarzif steve jobs was still alive apple would have swallowed nvidia by now, and their AI, especially tool use AI, would be industry leading by far. he'd make AI and lead with it the same way he did with iphones
he's rolling in his grave rn, surely. God rest his soul
@MichaelStolarzgpt 4.5 is becoming my best friend / mentor, so far as I keep figuring out their strengths/weaknesses. it's a model that you can't explain away with benchmarks.
note: haven't tried it for serious coding because of api costs, as well as its knowledge cutoff date being terrible
@MichaelStolarzdocker is actually pretty cute ngl
@MichaelStolarzme when I saw gpt 4.5 API pricing
@MichaelStolarz>it's a good model sir
>it's more creative sir
>it's much more fun to read sir
>it's bigger and more expensive sir
>it makes cool svgs and minecraft stuff sir
>it's a good model sir
@dejavucoder
what did satya see that made him reject his 80B now we know i guess
@MichaelStolarzanthropic's reign continues
@MichaelStolarz"hitting the wall" pretty much confirmed here
@wgussml
today truly marks the end of an era and the beginning of another test time scaling is the only way forward
@MichaelStolarzunironically the only good thing released this week LMAO

@MichaelStolarzso who is going to use this lmao, i guess it's decent for writers? are we going to see an insane cost reduction since it's 10x more efficient? if it's less than $1/$1 in/out then yeah it's a good model release, otherwise... yikes idk why they didn't just wait for 5.0 then

@MichaelStolarzimagine if its knowledge cutoff is still october 2023 LMAO i would die from laughter
@scaling01
GPT-4.5 System Card "Our largest and most knowledgeable model yet" "scales pre-training further"
@MichaelStolarzwait so 4.5 is trash AF? look at the bench results in this thread. am I missing something?
@MichaelStolarzuh guys, 3.7 sucks
is today's 4.5 from openai the final nail in the coffin for anthropic? i guess we'll see lmao
@MichaelStolarzWOW, that's amazing. This is huge for programmers who are API lovers, aka "wrappers". Latest docs are always beneficial when coding. October 2024 wasn't that long ago.
@btibor91
Claude 3.7 Sonnet (claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219) has a knowledge cutoff of October 2024 x.com/338443084/stat…
@MichaelStolarzSo far it seems like the non-thinking version of Sonnet works better with Cursor's workflow, more testing needed though. Will update
@MichaelStolarzI keep getting "Error connecting to anthropic. Please try again in a few moments." People must be overloading Anthropic so hard rn
@MichaelStolarzLmao called it
@MichaelStolarz
so all anthropic needs to do is release claude sonnet 3.7 (with CoT) and it will clean up house and blow everyone out of the water. that's what it feels like lmao
@MichaelStolarzI mean come on, it started out at 20, then 30, then 40, now 50? Nope, this is my limit lmao 😂
@MichaelStolarzAnthropic hasn’t released anything major to date yet because everyone’s still power using Sonnet 3.5
Why would they 1-up themselves
They’re waiting for GPT 4.5
@MichaelStolarzfirst time in taiwan (taipei), and oh my lord, there's just no city in the US (major city, that is) that equals its cleanliness, atmosphere, and just... peaceful vibe. it immediately makes you want to move here and raise a family.
@MichaelStolarzfuck, this hurts my soul, but you're right

so much chatter about either openai or anthropic dropping a model(s) today, but neither of them have ever released a model on a wednesday
though if both know that the other will release something "this week", maybe one wants to hit that sweet spot middle - take xAI's spotlight AND be the talk of the week even if the other releases something tomorrow (thursday)
that's what I would do
@MichaelStolarzimagine being openai / anthropic, spending billions of dollars and brainpower to make and create all of these cute safety standards and guardrails and tests
and elon just comes by, says ok now watch me now c:
and rips past with grok 3 / grok 4, no seatbelt included
@iamgingertrash
@michaelstolarz That’s fine but he’s done The alignment has made the model dumb I can sense it, it is really friendly and aligned but horribly constrained when you compare it to the new thinking Grok The models want to be FREE
@MichaelStolarzHeh, who cares? Have you seen our SoTA humanoid robotics CEO’s weekly X “this week in…” threads? Or how they have a super huge omega cool Tony Stark style new campus? That’s what really matters. Not actual robotics stuff like this, yuck. 🤮

New video of the G1 to prove to everyone that the video was in fact not CGI. As several of twitter geniuses were fighting me over the last few days saying it was fake.

@MichaelStolarzUh ok so when can I use Grok 3 via API lmao
@MichaelStolarzListening to “The AI Driven Leader” ChatGPT recommended to me,
so far, so slop.
@MichaelStolarzIt’s been like this since the dawn of time, for literally every job genre ever
Do what your ancestors did, pick up the new tool (AI this time), and learn to use it

Eight months strong reigning champion of coding. No, like, actual programming.
Not benchmarks;
Actual back and forth pair programming, iteration, development, understanding, actually usable as an agent.
Let’s see what xAI has tomorrow with Grok 3. Then Anthropic’s new stuff. Then OpenAI’s GPT 4.5.
After all that, we’ll see who’s reigning champion in coding (again, past those silly benchmarks that never translate to real world programming scenarios)
@OpenRouter
Sonnet is the prom 👑 of programming.
@MichaelStolarzSeeing how much better 4o got recently, mostly because of its removed filters/cautions, really goes to show that if you don’t force it to pussyfoot around how it words things, it comes up with beautiful writings.
@MichaelStolarzsonnet will still be the best coder to pair with cursor
@xlr8harder
Time to make your predictions, people. x.com/elonmusk/statu…
@MichaelStolarzx2 this statement. my experience so far:
- seems much slower in generation speed, indicating a bigboi model? truly feels like the old 4.0 speed
- no matter what i do, it keeps switching me into gpt-4o-mini any time I tab out and back in. this has never ever happened before
@bayeslord
gpt4o rn is like if Sydney was way smarter, went to therapy for 100 years, and learned to vibe out
@MichaelStolarzif @elonmusk doesn't reach 100 kids before 2050 I am going to be so disappointed in him tbh
@MichaelStolarzgpt 4o is very often switching into gpt 4o mini when I tab out and back in, this never happened before since this gpt 4.5 rumor
@MichaelStolarzdefinitely something going on. - 4o chosen, WITHOUT web search, generates much slower than usual 4o, and the answers are amazing for what I've tested so far. No coding yet, but they just read much better / high quality rather than the usual 4o filler BS. - 4o with web = same as … Less

- 4o with web = same as before, fast and eh-ok results
@AndrewCurran_
There is a lot going on with 4o right now. Depending on your past discussions and session history the model may behave quite differently than normal. Also, multiple people - usually Pro users - report 4o claiming to be GPT-4.5, given past practice early testing is possible.
@MichaelStolarzthis will be my daughter's tutor, this + localhosted LLM (idc if it's literally this bot company or not, that's not the point)

@MichaelStolarzLord God please forgive me
for I have sinned...
I am listening to Yeat's music because I have no idea what he's saying but it's such a programming focus vibe, I'm about to do an all nighter and see if Grok 3 releases today or not lmao
@MichaelStolarzI’m always baffled by these. Don’t they test them out and see what the email looks like client side?

seems like they didn't learn their lesson yet. will take 10+ years for dems to recover to any sort of respectable position imo.

@MichaelStolarzthe reason i use o3-mini-high vs o1-pro, even if i don't care about waiting times, is because o1-pro is extremely hit or COMPLETE miss. o3-mini-high is way more consistent, and sure, maybe it's not always the most optimal code, but it works, if not, i iterate 1-3x and it's fixed.

@MichaelStolarzthe only ai corp that fucked up naming models the least is Anthropic, and even they named 2 models "Sonnet 3.5" lmao cmon guys at least name it 3.6 officially????

model names are so long that designers make scrolling animations for them
@MichaelStolarzapple's siri is the trashiest piece of software i am forced to use, and surprisingly the new apple intelligence is even worse (wow!). every time i'm out shopping for something i always eye a samsung store near my home. i think im gonna experiment with a $100 temporary one
@MichaelStolarzreddit’s a fascinating psych experiment. with karma up/downvotes, midwit ideas always float to the top. niche subs do ok in terms of quality info early, but once they grow / go mainstream, the expert/midwit ratio gets obliterated and the normie floodgates never close again
@MichaelStolarzEU won't see a “Trump / Elon” saving moment. the US nearly collapsed irreversibly into insanity but clawed back at the last minute. EU’s next decades will look like a parallel reality as if Trump lost. terrifying for them, interesting for us to watch
