GPT-5

The dislike for Opus 5 is usually because it tests the prompter

Been using Opus 5 exclusively for a week. For the first 2 - 3 days, I had a hard time working with the output and especially understanding what it was trying to say.There's probable more work needed in the domain to help explain things.The other thing I noticed is that it is actually incredible and what it does. It took me longer to way longer to understand the details, then it took to do something.Providing it all the relevant context is a skill, but the more it understands the problem you

I've tested some local LLMs on prosumer hardware, here are some findings

I have been benchmarking local LLMs on a Mac M4 Pro 24 GB RAM using LM Studio. I've tested mostly with 4-bit quantization, both MLX and GGUF, from 4b to 35b models, with speeds of 3 to 40 tokens/second.Results briefly:- fast small model -> extraction/classification- Gemma -> summarization- gpt-oss -> transcript consultation- large Qwen -> difficult reasoning/code interpretationThere wasn't a single best LLM for all tasks.Best summarizer: I took a transcript

I saw that Agent Harness has tools info right, and then MCP also has the same; then how are they different?

Show HN: Provensql – prove two SQL queries are equivalent

I'm a data/infra engineer and kept hitting the "is this SQL refactor actually safe?" question in review. Provensql decides equivalence of two queries and returns one of four honest verdicts: EQUIVALENT (proven), DIFFERENT (with a concrete counterexample row), SCHEMA_CHANGE, or UNKNOWN — it refuses rather than guess.It's sound by construction: it never returns a false EQUIVALENT. Across 511 equivalence-breaking mutations it produced zero. There's an SMT proof engine

Ask HN: What Did Anthropic Bill Me For?

I gave Anthropic my credit card number thinking I was signing up for the pro plan and they charged me about $21. But a day later when I log in they say I have a free account. Further research shows they bill the Pro plan a year at a time for about $200.So... since I didn't pay for a pro plan, what did I just pay money to Anthropic for? support@anthropic.com is completely dead. They haven't responded to any of the messages I've sent over the last week. My next step is a credit

STQRY Studio Demo

See what’s possible with STQRY Studio Connect! In this demo, we walk through how AI agents like Claude (by Anthropic) and Codex (by OpenAI) interact with STQRY Studio to handle complex content creation, bulk updates, and tour building using simple, natural language prompts. Instead of manually creating items one by one, learn how plain text instructions allow you to build interactive experiences in seconds.

Show HN: Neither HTML nor Markdown is enough: a way out of the AI doc dilemma

A recent post from Anthropic's Claude Code team ("The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML", https://thariqs.github.io/html-effectiveness/) argued that with today's context windows the bottleneck is human attention — rich HTML for decision surfaces, Markdown for durable records. That split makes sense to me. What it leaves open, in my experience, is the durable record itself: what happens when that is the thing an agent must iteratively co-author? You end up

Show HN: Trace – Offline Mac meeting transcription, overhauled from HN feedback

A couple of months ago I posted about Trace, a non-intrusive, shortcut-driven Mac app that records and transcribes your meetings on-device. I know, another meeting transcription app, but we've had a great response and I'm confident it fills a niche. Here's the original post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48521236We've been working hard to bring community feedback on board, and the app is now so much more capable that it deserved a new post. Trace is stil
