> I don't care about this version being 8.243% more precise, but I do miss the warmer tone of 4o.

Why? 8.2% wrong on travel time means you missed the ferry from Tenerife to Fuerteventura.

You'll be happy Altman said they're making it warmer.

I'd think the glaze mode should be the optional mode.

"glaze mode"; hahaha, just waiting for GPT-5o "glaze coding"!

You're absolutely right! Americans are a bit weird like that, most people around the world would be perfectly okay with short and to-the-point answers. Especially if those answers are coming from a machine that's just giving its best imitation of a stochastic hallucinating parrot.

Claude is very "American", just try asking it to use English English spelling instead of American English spelling; it lasts about 3~6 sentences before it goes back. Also there is only American English in the UI (like the spell checker, et al), in Spanish you get a choice of dialects, but not English.

I'm very honestly wondering if they become violent, because using socratic method has closed the other road.

I mean if you've just proven that my words and logic are actually unsound and incoherent how can I use that very logic with you? If you add to this that most people want to win an argument (when facing opposite point of view) then what's left to win but violence ?

thanks, FYI I'm on a max 20x also and I don't see it!

maybe a staggered release?

This is definitely good to have this as an option but at the same time having more context reduces the quality of the output because it's easier for the LLM to get "distracted". So, I wonder what will happen to the quality of code produced by tools like Claude Code if users don't properly understand the trade off being made (if they leave it in auto mode of coding right up to the auto compact).

>Training on LLM outputs leads to catastrophic collapse. Every outlet led with this. But no-one red the fine-print, they were testing on small toy models, and were using everything that came out to re-train. Of course it's gonna fail. L3 / phi / gpt-oss models showed that you can absolutely train on synthetic datasets and have great results

You're conflating two very different things. Training on synthetic data one time is very different than cyclically training models on their own data. It has nothing to do with model size.

"Training on synthetic data one time is very different than cyclically training models on their own data.", but every one with even a modicum of understanding of feedback knows that cyclic training on its own output will end in tears; it's bordering on a tautologic inverse.

I tried the two US presidents having the same parents one, and while it understood the intent, it got caught up in being adamant that Joe Biden won the election in 2024 and anything I do to try and tell it otherwise is dismissed as being false and expresses quite definitely that I need to do proper research with legitimate sources.

Yeah but you see, this requires to be deployed along side the application somehow with the help of the ops team. While changing the command line is under control of the application developer.

So security theatre is the best option? I'm not saying this to be cheeky, but it just seems to be an overly shallow option that is trivially easy to end run.

Whoa, I didn't know about this:

  # Run with restricted file system access
  node --experimental-permission \
    --allow-fs-read=./data --allow-fs-write=./logs app.js
  
  # Network restrictions
  node --experimental-permission \
    --allow-net=api.example.com app.js
Looks like they were inspired by Deno. That's an excellent feature. https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/security/#permiss...

I wouldn't trust it to be done right. It's like a bank trusting that all their customers will do the right thing. If you want MAC (as opposed to DAC), do it in the kernel like it's supposed to be; use apparmor or selinux. And both of those methods will allow you to control way more than just which files you can read / write.
