Introducing a new upgraded slot machine named "Claude Opus" in the Anthropic casino.

You are in for a treat this time: It is the same price as the last one [0] (if you are using the API.)

But it is slightly less capable than the other slot machine named 'Mythos' the one which everyone wants to play around with. [1]

If you're building a standard app Opus is already good enough to build anything you want. I don't even know what you'd really need Mythos for.

You'd be surprised. With React, Claude can get twisted in knots mostly because React lends itself to a pile of spaghetti code.

What's an alternative library that doesn't turn large/complex frontend code into spaghetti code?

Vue (my favorite) and Svelte do well.

You'd need Mythos to free your iPhone, SamsungTV, SmartWatches or such. Maybe even printer drivers.

i sincerely doubt mythos is capable of jailbreaking an iphone

Consumerism... if it ain't the best, some people don't want it.

Time/frustration

If it’s all slop, the smallest waste of time comes from the best thing on the market

Also 640 KB ram ought to be enough for everybody.

This is true if you know what you are doing and provide proper guidance. It’s not true if you just want to vibe the whole app.

I've got a gfx device crash that only happens on switch. Not Xbox, ps4, steam, epic, or anything. Only switch.

Opus hasn't been able to fix it. I haven't been able to fix it. Maybe mythos can idk, but I'll be surprised.

Opus sometimes makes poor long term decisions and really struggles with even mid size (~10k lines) existing codebases.
