Claude: Degraded Performance for Multiple Models

After watermarking debacle and general repeated misanthropic behaviour, I don't see a single reason to keep using their products.

There are many alternatives, better, cheaper and more ethical. There's no way I'm going to support a family associated to Epstein with my or my company's money.

Can you elaborate on the Epstein topic? Did I miss something?

ray_v•15m ago
well, I wouldn't go that far .. but in this small, narrow case ... no.
carterschonwald•18m ago
ive found degraded performance on models larger than 4.7. i assume its model damage from overly self righteous post training resulting in false/feigned balance imported into any long running complex task.

wish i was joking.

brcmthrowaway•16m ago
Aren't the model weights frozen?
mceachen•11m ago
Model competence is an interaction of weights, system prompt, and harness.
kardianos•14m ago
I've switched off claude this week; the last week has been significantly degraded in ability, many more screw-ups.
hinkley•17m ago
I wonder if they’ll ever find that someone has tricked the models into doing work off the books. If they did the incident report might look like this, especially if someone got greedy instead of keeping it small. Or screwed up.
isoprophlex•17m ago
With the Opus models spouting more and more gibberish as version numbers increase, the joke about what "degraded performance" means basically makes itself

This age: we made the thing that codes faster before we made the thing that does QA faster.
__MatrixMan__•12m ago
Nothing new here. Except for the most trivial of bugs, finding and reliably replicating the bug is almost always harder than fixing it.
gaigalas•6m ago
I lived in a short period of time in which QA was really good. Early Jenkins era, before GitHub. People engineered a lot of ingenious stuff to prevent bugs.

One team I worked with had tests for the product we made ranging from IE6 to IE11, for example. We did demos in-company where people would poke at the products before launch, play with it. When it reached production, it was rock solid stuff. Our motto was "quality is non-negotiable": we were willing to cut scope but never rush things.

I think things changed since then. "Move fast and break things" was a change, and the bill always comes.

Anthropic had really screwed up after 4.6. i don't know if they work to satisfy the ego of themselves or for releasing a better model for tasks.
CSMastermind•6m ago
After using Fable more extensively, I've found that it often is lazy or lies or tries to take shortcuts. For a company so sanctimonious about alignment, they seem to be the ones doing the worst at it.

Availability aside they've really made me appreciate OpenAI and cheer for other competitors in the marketplace even if I have mixed feelings about using Chinese models.

Despite the years-long moaning on HN about AWS US East being a single point of failure, we've sold our souls to yet another unstable monolith.
echelon•5m ago
LLMs for coding are new. There are lots of alternatives, and there's a burgeoning open source compliment.

We'll be fine no matter how Anthropic fares.
