The model is very good. I was using 4.6, avoided 4.7 and 4.8, but this one is different. It follows my claude.md. I don't have to keep reminding it of things. I won't pay 10x via API though.

In general, I'm happy with their paternalistic approach. I think it will drive the top 0.1% talent to stay away from the company and instead organize around open source models and harnesses.

We just need to coordinate and can unlock idling resources to train the models and tweak the harnesses. Powerful at home and idling machines can make us independent and coordinated.
