Ask HN: Does anybody still FEEL improvements between latest LLMs for coding?

Title basically, for me it feels like latest generations of LLMs are quite equal in usefulness for coding, does anybody have anecdotes of the opposite case?

Ngl after opus 4.5 I haven’t noticed too many improvements

Not intelligence improvement, but the improvements to speed are tangible. In my case I've gotten so used to the speed of Composer 2.5 that using the latest Anthropic models frustrates me. They are so slow, and not really worth the wait times since Composer gets me what I need precisely, much faster. I think you'll see labs care a lot more about latency and tokens per second moving forward.

I still oscillate between "I'm totally cooked, I have no role here, the AI does everything" to "WTF why is this LLM so stupid today, WTF is it doing? This is garbage?"
A lot of that is because in the former case (AI does everything) I wasn't paying enough attention.
