“Insane numbers for opus 5, the power of faster iteration speed + scaled RL (Fable too big to RL as well, yet). And on safeguards "Based on our testing, we expect the classifiers to intervene around 85% less often than they do for Fable 5.". www.anthropic.co…”

Ben Recht: Yeah, that part is weird, no? The small model is *much* smaller and yet indistinguishable from the big one on benchmarks? I guess we'll have to wait and see, as it's not available yet.

“cameron.stream/knowledge/sp... slop written but about accurate. It's mostly a workflow thing. Basically, I talk to my agent(s) about the spec first, and then have agents go off on timers to complete a "tick".”

Tim Kellogg: i’m not actually sure this is true. Meaning that spec-driven dev & formal methods haven’t been picked up and there’s probably a reason for it mainly: it’s cheaper & easier to use the code as the si…
Tim Kellogg: people have been saying that it’s best to delete docs after every session and just have an agent rebuild context every time, that way you don’t get confused output tbf the strongest argument agains…
Tim Kellogg: one configuration of formal methods. that could work — use an agent to build a formal spec on the fly, based on what the code *actually* does, and use that to prove liveness, correctness, etc. i co…
