I can’t help but think that there are so many astroturfed comments in here.
Seems like a concerted and distributed effort from the entire Anthropic team every time to get this on top of HN.

I'm not fan of Anthropic, but to be fair, every major model release makes it to the main page. In the case of a model like this, hyped and with a jump in capabilities, it doesn't need astroturfing.
Well to be fair, it that hype and that "jump in capabilities" (that I don't see) might be astroturfed? You ever think that all that hype isn't organic?
No, but I think it's real in this case. Claude models have always been superb, I can definitely see another improvement in capabilities. Price is outrageous, though.
Yes, this is also my feeling.
It happens for every single Anthropic release. Then I try it on real dev and the result is laughably bad. Except in design where it has been doing a decent job for a while. I am not a designer and my bar is pretty low.
In frontend sonnet and opus take more than 5 $ per query to fix any problem
So unless you have unlimited tokens it's better to learn frontend
Corporations have done worse for much less money involved. Now we have trillion dollar companies going IPO. With so much at stake, it’s not unthinkable that there’s astroturfing happening.
I’m convinced that’s the case, this place looked totally different around 4 years ago
Wouldn’t be surprised if there are marketing teams writing positive comments for more positive engagement
Marketing teams entirely composed of Claude models, of course
You're right to point that out! Most people did not think of this but you did -- and that's a rare skill to have.
I see a lot of negative comments right now surprisingly.
Now if only they had some technology that was really good at generating authentic-looking comments they could use to spam praise all over the internet...
Where do you see them exactly? The comments are pretty much in line with how the model performs IRL.
Theres several comments that sound like „I“ve had this REALLY DIFFICULT problem (no specification whatsoever) and threw Fable on it and it solved it immediately, additionaly it cured aids and found a solution to world hunger“…
to be fair, the top comment from simonw is most likely legit unless anthropic hacked his account too
This is… not at all the case. Most observations on pricing, some on specific projects, some on speculation about Anthropic and many about the model getting nerfed.
It is the case.
