Canada - they are offering euthanasia right and left.

People are repelled by country shopping by 3rd worlders.

EU countries are working on imigration rules that would allow for bringing imigrant labour without ever extending citizen privileges to them. A sort of permanent uderclass. This is what voters want at this time.

V4 Pro is between Sonnet and Opus. But it is cheap. Slow but very cheap. Very diligent.

I run a proxy that allows me switching back to Opus when necessary.

Deepseek isn't like Z.ai which is bit cheaper only on the surface. Or like Qwen 3.7 Max which is Opus-level but very expensive.

Deepseek is my favorite since V3 but V4 is definitely catch-up to newer Anthropic models

I am sure Norway with its vast intellectual resources and wealth can create their own AI. Run exclusively on wind and solar power, trained on sagas and Henrik Ibsen plays. Ethical and transparent.

Perhaps next generation isn't necessary anymore. At least majority that can't adjust.

Euthanasia for the young might be the best we can offer to the next generation.

Rapidly depopulating Earth below 1 bilion people or less seems in our reach.

Gemini is actually realy good for code review, critique and other tasks. It just cannot be allowed to code himself.

1200 years ago Kyoto was a small village. Not it is 3 million city with lots of concrete and asphalt. Cities are usually hot spots unlike small villages.

So what have changed?

Makes sense.

It is over for the little guy - home enthusiasts and vibe coders. Too many of them saturating resources for Max users.

IF you cannot afford few hundred dollars subscription go out and breathe fresh air. But if you can, watch where the ball is rolling - few thousand dollars subscriptions and even less programmers.

7.5 is promotional rate, it will go up to 25. And in May you will be switched to per token billing.

Opus 4.5 and 4.6 will be removed very soon.

So what is your contingency plan?

Making models smarter is saturated at this point. But making models faster and is low cost vector for growth.

OpenAI will not win against Anthropic that way. But they will make themselves indispensable to bilions of new, invisible micro solutions.

Yes, probably. But the others gained skills and tools that made their jobs secure.

There is no decline. Human assets were always too expensive to process some additional information. We are simply processing lot more of low signal data.

Actually some of our analysts are empowered by the tools at their disposal. Their jobs are safe and necessary. Others were let go.

Clients are happy to get fuller picture of their universe, which drives more informed decissions . Everybody wins.
