<p>Max is lot of extra reasoning. I wonder how many fewer tasks it solves on high. I bet that costs quite a lot less.</p>

<p>I have actually been planning to open source the framework. Only benchmarks I care about are the ones that look like real work I do. So it makes it easy to trawl your own repos looking for benchmark task candidates from real bug fixes or features. Then as a bonus I can compare the agent’s solution to my own as a reference.<p>So most look like that but I did include a few one-shot “build an app that solves this problem” and some qualitative design tasks and a tough algorithmic optimization one.</p>

<p>In my tests, it averages to much cheaper than Opus 4.8 on real tasks on account of being smarter and more token efficient.<p>I have a benchmark to build a game engine from a set of written instructions. It's a little tricky. Opus 4.8 did it in 470k tokens at a cost of $1.29 vs Opus 5 in 179k tokens for $0.33. (Fable 5 did it in 245k for $0.95)<p>Though if you really want to cut costs, Tencent's Hy3 model also got it right and did it in 283k tokens for $0.03</p>

<p>That's a plausible explanation but I'm not seeing evidence for it.<p>I have a personal benchmark suite of 14 real, non-public tasks. Opus 5 and Fable tied on 10, Opus won on 3, and Fable won on 1. It's a really strong model.</p>

<p>Right so that's a trade secrets argument. I agree that's probably their best current legal avenue. It isn't related to ToS though.</p>

<p>What do you suppose the damages would be for a ToS violation? The difference between subscription rates and API rates?<p>OpenAI accused Deepseek of misappropriating trade secrets which could have serious penalties but seems like an awfully hard case to make.<p>Seems like we’d all be better off with a law that governs data sharing among AI companies, if that’s the policy goal.</p>

<p>I'm not doubting it's <i>possible</i> to pass such a law, I'm doubting that's it's a  practical or worthwhile goal.<p>The terms of service don't even necessarily matter here. OpenAI could cancel your account for almost any reason, or for no reason at all. They don't particularly need to cite a ToS violation just as a store owner doesn't need to point to a written policy to kick you out of their store.<p>If the underlying issue is that LLMs should be regulated as a public good, then lets have that discussion. If it's that the major AI companies are becoming too powerful and anti-competitive, let's talk serious anti-trust enforcement. Micro-managing business policies isn't going to work very well.</p>

<p>Seems only fair that if LLMs can use copyrighted data for training then they should be able to use cannot-be-copyrighted output of other LLMs.<p>But barring the terms of service from forbidding distillation seems like a tough sell. OpenAI shouldn't be allowed to decide what types of customers it wants and doesn't want?</p>

<p>I think a better way to regulate content moderation would be to pass laws that regulate content moderation. Not backdoor regulations through very broad interpretations of product liability.<p>HN surely has some underage users. If they look at their analytics and tweak the interface to improve time on site, are they also intentionally creating a product that is addictive to children?</p>

<p>These types of lawsuits seem dangerous. But Meta is a pretty awful company and deserves some sort of comeuppance. I worry about what it leads to though. Hard cases make bad laws.</p>
