PSA for developers Do NOT torture yourself with Opus*. Anthropic’s current growth is due to people using Claude for general knowledge work They are not directly incentivized as an org anymore to improve the model for coding, in an economic sense. They are already printing cash from non-developers (this statement ignores the fact that improving its coding abilities would help with general reasoning/knowledge work) Developers are a very small subset of all knowledge workers. So from this point on, they would rather divert their resources to develop a system that works 90% good for ALL knowledge work, rather than making it 100% for coding Because Anthropic has a clear enterprise strategy since years already. Anthropic is the new Microsoft. Do not think that “Anthropic is Apple” or “Claude is Mac for xyz” Looking at Claude’s at whim quantization and Claude Code’s quality over time, Claude for me is Windows, not Mac But they are winning big enterprise bucks, so good for them! *(I tortured myself with Sonnet 4 and Opus the entire summer of 2025, and no developer should ever have to go through that. I switched to something better as soon as it came out, Codex. If something even better comes out, I will switch again)
