Ten hours and counting! That's made a lovely mess of my day. Fell back to the Mistral API for some things, but it's (a) much slower, (b) not as good. Reminder to self: have fail-over in place already, rather than having to whip it up on the fly.
Out of interest what small set of tasks do you find Claude to be best for? Because I find it to be significantly better for most things. The only thing I have found it not better at for my use cases is identifying specific pieces of (somewhat specialist) machinery and equipment from images, where I’m still getting stronger results via OpenAI.
Our pure text tasks are generally quite simple, so for price+speed reasons those don't use Sonnet but instead Llama 3.0, very-old-version 3.5 Turbo (newer versions are awful) or 4o-mini.
