No matter what you say, you know yourself the truth that the DoW wanted to go over the red lines of anthropic and they said no, while openai said yes. This is as clear as day to everyone and you are just lying yourself to believe something else.

You can't put anthropic and openai in the same basket regarding ethics. One accepted Department of War's conditions and the other not.

what's the point of this benchmark if sonnet is working great at my tasks and mini can't solve my tasks?

Yeah but if you have to describe in very much details in english, you're better of just writing it with autocomplete.

I find that vibe coding is useful when it can be build with little details and it makes the right assumptions.

Sorry, but what is the philosophical niche of openai really? Obtain money at all cost? No red lined when using your modele in war? Work for scam altman?

I don't understand Google's play here. Does it want Wiz to be a unique offer for GCP customers? or they will keep it cloud agnostic?

You didn't write that and you shouldn't believe that you did.

On shareholder money? No thank you. If 1 person can do the job, why keep 2?

I really like it. Nano banana is like the best product name in AI.

not the op, but this is what i did too and bypassed the designer. I iterated with nano banana and gave the result to the company that builds the kitchen. the middleman is gone now.

Yeah right. I beg to differ. I was just laid off by a company in London after 6 years with them. 3 months severance. And thats it.

Funny. What lead? Gemini and Claude are much better.

PunchTornado — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:40:29 +0000

come on, using a monthly paid subscription to obtain auth tokens to use claws bots is quite obviously agains T&C. you need to pay api prices for that. I am sure 100% of those knew they were doing something wrong but proceeded anyway.

Ah this would be too good to be truth. I had my iphone for 6 years and finally had to ditch it this year because of the battery. otherwise the device was good, all i needed. felt so bad that I should discard it just for the battery.

I'm waiting to see a more egregious company than openai and a bigger scammer ceo like altman. no, thank you. i hope openai goes bankrupt. especially since the ousting of ilya.

I don't think models blow other models anymore. We have the big 3 which are neck to neck in most benchmarks and the rest. I doubt that 5.3 will blow the others.

The biggest increase is LiveCodeBench Pro: 2887. The rest are in line with Opus 4.6 or slightly better or slightly worse.
