Claude Sonnet 5 Is Imminent – and It Could Be a Generation Ahead of Google (ucstrategies.com)

Being ahead of Google is less about raw model quality and more about shipping usable products fast. Anthropic’s advantage seems organizational as much as technical. If Sonnet 5 really halves inference cost while improving reasoning, that’s more disruptive than any benchmark win.

How long is a generation with LLM’s, 6 months?

It’s definitely going to be a busy month in model land. Loads of new stuff is scheduled to drop.

I think it’s premature to say what’s going to beat what though

what are the key references for this article? there was a tweet but also a screenshot of an error code in vertex ai, right?

I keep trying to use Codex CLI but I love using claude --dangerously-skip-permissions but this seems impossible to do in codex, and it just asks me to approve every command per session. Am I taking crazy pills or is there a way to make codex just run in yolo mode?

The article itself seems to be written using an llm from 1950

Aren't people worried about their jobs? I'm surprised that this aspect is almost entirely missing in threads like this.

Depends on what is a ‘generation’ for LLMs. It would be weird to build a model which is a generation behind. My guess is that like all models, it will be considered the best until the novelty factor wears off and then it will be more or less the same like all modern LLMs - better in some domains, worse in others.

Edit: and it will probably also lead in most major benchmarks which says next to nothing about the quality.
