Does anyone know _why_ it’s so much better at coding? Better architecture, better training data, better RLHF?

I've been using a lot of o1-mini and having a good experience with it.

Yesterday I decided to try sonnet 3.5. I asked for a simple but efficient script to perform fuzzy match in strings with Python. Strangely, it didn't even mention existing fast libraries, like FuzzyWuzzy and Rapidfuzz. It went on to create everything from scratch using standard libraries. I don't know, I thought this was something basic for it to stumble on.

just ask it to use libraries you want; you cant expect it to magically read your mind, you need to guide every LLM to what are your must/nice haves

Hey, I just wanted to say that I kept using it and the new Sonnet 3.5 is so much better than any other competitor.

Yeah, sonnet is noticeably better. To the point that openai is almost unusable, too many small errors
