Ask HN: Agents get dumber before release of new model version?

I&#x27;ve noticed an effect with openai where my codex agents seem to perform worse in the week(s) leading up to a new release. I&#x27;m wondering if the vendors tweak effort params at all to free up hardware to host the new version. It&#x27;s a double win as the new model will look night and day better to their regular users when the new model is released presumably with effort back at normal levels.<p>Is this a known phenomenon? Are any folks trying to measure any of this objectively?

Ask HN: Did Anthropic Just Win?

Not trying to cause drama, I feel the title is a bit too much but it&#x27;s 100% how I feel. I&#x27;m genuinely curious what others think. I know there are a lot of people with more knowledge and info than me so I thought here is a good place to ask.Personally how I see it, benchmarks aside, Fable really is a tier above both Opus and Codex. Still makes mistakes, still needs supervision, but much less, and with a good feedback loop is able to achieve a lot independently. If OpenAI had something t

Show HN: A GPT-realtime-2 tool that navigates your site by voice

Hi HN!It’s been over a month since gpt-realtime-2 is available but I haven’t seen many tools created with it yet. I think it is a very underrated (and fun!) model that you can do a lot of cool stuff with.I created a funny tool where you can embed a “mascot” on your website that you can talk to. It crawls the site and has all the main pages + sections in context. So it can scroll, navigate pages and open FAQ’s. I might add more functionality later but I want to get some other people to try it fir

Ask HN: Favorite prompts for improving LLM output?

I use Claude Code a lot and GPT 5.5 as well, and find that they are simultaneously extremely useful and also fall into common poor-performance basins. For example, writing performance -- perhaps my biggest issue with them is writing style -- such as well documented stylistic tics (em-dash, it&#x27;s not x it&#x27;s y), less commented stylistic tics (&quot;the honest framing&quot;, &quot;the earned XYZ&quot;), cryptic and coined jargon, overabbreviation and sentences replaces by arrow constructio

Ask HN: Why not compare Fable 5 with GPT "Pro"? Why compare with GPT xhigh?

Every benchmark I see compares the super model Fable 5 with GPT 5.5 xhigh, but that&#x27;s not a fair comparison because GPT 5.5 Pro has existed for a while and consistently delivers better results than Opus 4.8 Max, so doesn&#x27;t it make more sense to compare Fable 5 with GPT Pro, instead?<p>FYI, both of them take a long time to respond, as opposed to GPT xhigh which often returns in a couple of minutes.

I complained to Anthropic over expired paid API credits and 31-day limits

@AnthropicAI:As a preliminary matter, I state the following clearly: - I do not intend to accept any refund, compensation, reissued credits, account adjustment, or any other form of individualized relief. - Nor do I intend to accept any settlement arrangement that would substitute private handling for a public apology, amendment of the relevant terms, and repair of the billing mechanism. - The sole purpose of this complaint is to require Anthropic to provide a formal response to the unfair term

Show HN: I generated 235 system docs in a day using GPT-5.5

I generated 235 system documentation pages for a startup in about 8 hours using GPT-5.5 in Codex.We&#x27;ve been putting off the chore of writing technical docs since our team could handle all customer questions directly. However, since releasing an AI tool in the system, users have started asking it system questions as opposed to just data questions like it was designed for. It couldn&#x27;t answer how-to questions, so, users got confused.We didn&#x27;t have a direct way to teach the Ai about o
