Gemini 3.5 flags vs gpt 5.5 ?? What's your opinion on it

submitted by /u/Independent-Wind4462 [link] [comments]

What's your prediction for workflows 12-18 months from now?

This are my employees, hooked up to WhatsApp and email. Can you guess who handles what? 😁 (Hint: only ONE of them is SWE. ~20% of my tokens are used for coding these days). Whatever you are using right now, in ~6-9 months time, you will begin doing agent orchestration as I do today. Not managing a few terminals sessions every now and then. You manage full employees with context & tools for their function and can orchestrate tons of agents behind the scene - and on schedule! The tool I build support Anthropic's managed agent, runs on codex/claude/opencode etc because I do believe that building your own harness is a waste of time - it's like training your own LLMs. Maybe you can out perform claude code after intense investment, can you outsell it? What's your workflow right now? Where do you see the workflow moving towards in 12-18 months? submitted by /u/NickGuAI [link] [comments]

Opus 4.7 Low Vs Medium Vs High Vs Xhigh Vs Max: the Reasoning Curve on 29 Real Tasks from an Open Source Repo

TL;DR I ran Opus 4.7 in Claude Code at all reasoning effort settings (low, medium, high, xhigh, and max) on the same 29 tasks from an open source repo (GraphQL-go-tools, in Go). On this slice, Opus 4.7 did not behave like a model where more reasoning effort had a linear correlation with more intelligence. In fact, the curve appears to peak at medium. If you think this is weird, I agree! This was the follow-up to a Zod run where Opus also looked non-monotonic. I reran the question on GraphQL-go-tools because I wanted a more discriminating repo slice and didn’t trust the fact that more reasoning != better outcomes. Running on the GraphQL repo helped clarified the result: Opus still did not show a simple higher-reasoning-is-better curve. The contrast is GPT-5.5 in Codex, which overall did show the intuitive curve: more reasoning bought more semantic/review quality. That post is here: https://www.stet.sh/blog/gpt-55-codex-graphql-reasoning-curve Medium has the best test pass rate, highest equivalence with the original human-authored changes, the best code-review pass rate, and the best aggregate craft/discipline rate. Low is cheaper and faster, but it drops too much correctness. High, xhigh, and max spend more time and money without beating medium on the metrics that matter. More reasoning effort doesn't only cost more - it changes the way Claude works, but without reliably improving judgment. Xhigh inflates the test/fixture surface most. Max is busier overall and has the largest implementation-line footprint. But even though both are supposedly thinking more, neither produces "better" patches than medium. One likely reason: Opus 4.7 uses adaptive thinking - the model already picks its own reasoning budget per task, so the effort knob biases an already-adaptive policy rather than buying more intelligence. More on this below. An illuminating example is PR #1260. After retry, medium recovered into a real patch. High and xhigh used their extra reasoning budget to dig up commit hashes from prior PRs and confidently declare "no work needed" - voluntarily ending the turn with no patch. Medium and max read the literal control flow and made the fix. One broader takeaway for me: this should not have to be a one-off manual benchmark. If reasoning level changes the kind of patch an agent writes, the natural next step is to let the agent test and improve its own setup on real repo work. For this post, "equivalent" means the patch matched the intent of the merged human PR; "code-review pass" means an AI reviewer judged it acceptable; craft/discipline is a 0-4 maintainability/style rubric; footprint risk is how much extra code the agent touched relative to the human patch. I also made an interactive version with pretty charts and per-task drilldowns here: https://stet.sh/blog/opus-47-graphql-reasoning-curve The data: Metric Low Medium High Xhigh Max All-task pass 23/29 28/29 26/29 25/29 27/29 Equivalent 10/29 14/29 12/29 11/29 13/29 Code-review pass 5/29 10/29 7/29 4/29 8/29 Code-review rubric mean 2.426 2.716 2.509 2.482 2.431 Footprint risk mean 0.155 0.189 0.206 0.238 0.227 All custom graders 2.598 2.759 2.670 2.669 2.690 Mean cost/task $2.50 $3.15 $5.01 $6.51 $8.84 Mean duration/task 383.8s 450.7s 716.4s 803.8s 996.9s Equivalent passes per dollar 0.138 0.153 0.083 0.058 0.051 Why I Ran This After my last post comparing GPT-5.5 vs 5.4 vs Opus 4.7, I was curious how intra-model performance varied with reasoning effort. Doing research online, it's very very hard to gauge what actual experience is like when varying the reasoning levels, and how that applies to the work that I'm doing. I first ran this on Zod, and the result looked strange: tests were flat across low, medium, high, and xhigh, while the above-test quality signals moved around in mixed ways. Low, medium, high, and xhigh all landed at 12/28 test passes. But equivalence moved from 10/28 on low to 16/28 on medium, 13/28 on high, and 19/28 on xhigh; code-review pass moved from 4/27 to 10/27, 10/27, and 11/27. That was interesting, but not clean enough to make a default-setting claim. It could have been a Zod-specific artifact, or a sign that Opus 4.7 does not have a simple "turn reasoning up" curve. So I reran the question on GraphQL-go-tools. To separate vibes from reality, and figure out where the cost/performance sweet spot is for Opus 4.7, I wanted the same reasoning-effort question on a more discriminating repo slice. This is not meant to be a universal benchmark result - I don't have the funds or time to generate statistically significant data. The purpose is closer to "how should I choose the reasoning setting for real repo work?", with GraphQL-Go-Tools as the example repo. Public benchmarks flatten the reviewer question that most SWEs actually care about: would I actually merge the patch, and do I want to maintain it? That's why I ran this test - to gain more insight, at a small scale, into how coding ag

LLMs keep solving my bug-fix tasks instantly — what am I missing here?

I’m working on an assessment where I need to create a coding task (basically SWE-bench style). The idea is: take an existing repo (I’m using pydantic) write tests that fail on the current code provide a patch that fixes it and the task shouldn’t be trivial for an LLM to solve(it should be solvable, llm should solve it around 4/10 times, models like haiku) The difficulty requirement is the tricky part. It shouldn’t be impossible, but also not something a model solves instantly every time. What I’ve been doing so far: using Claude Opus to explore the repo and identify possible bugs or edge cases writing tests around those cases then in a separate run, giving the instructions to a smaller model (like Haiku) letting it generate a patch and running that patch against the tests I wrote I’ve been repeating this loop for quite a while. The problem is, most of the time the model just figures it out. Even with edge cases, chaining conditions, or slightly more complex scenarios, it still manages to fix things pretty reliably. So I’m clearly missing something. I feel like I’m designing bugs that are too local or too easy to pattern match, but I don’t really know how to move beyond that. At the same time, I can’t just make things random or overly complex because the task still needs to be fair and testable. Also, I don’t have the option to modify the codebase directly — I can only define behavior through tests and provide a patch — so that constraint makes it harder to think creatively about it. At this point I kind of know I’m not approaching it with the right mental model, just not sure what the correct approach is. If anyone here has worked on: SWE-bench style tasks LLM evals / coding agent benchmarks or even just tricky real-world debugging cases I’d really appreciate any pointers on: how you think about difficulty in these tasks what patterns actually make models struggle or how you come up with good task ideas Right now it just feels like I’m going in circles. submitted by /u/Aditya_10204 [link] [comments]

Built an Opensource Persistent memory layer for Coding agent (64% token reduction on SWE benchmarks)

Hi Claude community, I got annoyed enough to build something. Claude Code was re-reading the same files every session. Not because it had to, because it had no other option. There was nowhere to store what it already knew. So I built a local knowledge graph it can query instead. Fullerenes https://preview.redd.it/k7mge8pzayxg1.png?width=911&format=png&auto=webp&s=eaaa44b07762547d7dcc420273248c1bd85895e7 How it works: npx fullerenes init walks your repo with Tree-sitter,pulls out every function, class, import, and call relationship, and stores it in a local SQLite graph. Agents connect over MCP and ask targeted questions instead of reading files raw. The design leans on actual retrieval research: Repoformer (retrieve only when needed), HippoRAG and G-Retriever (graph beats flat chunks), LLMLingua (compress context aggressively). The goal is not more context. It's better signal per token. Two features I built that I haven't seen elsewhere: predict_impact({ functionName: "x" }) Before the agent edits anything, it can ask what else will break. Traverses the edge graph and returns direct + transitive dependents with a risk score. Blast radius before the first keystroke. get_function({ name: "x", includeBody: true }) Signature, body, and callers in one MCP call. No follow-up read_file needed. --- Three benchmarks: SWE-bench Verified (1 instance so far): Codex baseline: 91,949 tokens Codex + Fullerenes: 32,945 tokens Reduction: 64% Internal (5 questions on this repo): Raw files: 2,452 tokens avg Fullerenes: 137 tokens avg Reduction: 94.4% External (Gemini CLI on a Python project): Raw files: 27,292 tokens Fullerenes AGENTS.md: 919 tokens Reduction: 96.6% --- What it does not do: Tree-sitter is structural not semantic. If you rely heavily on dynamic dispatch or metaprogramming, edges will be missing. LSP integration is on the roadmap but not there yet. One SWE-bench instance is not a broad result. I'm running more and will be transparent about what comes back, good or bad. --- Everything runs locally: - SQLite, no server - no API key - pure npm, no Python - works offline - MIT 589 npm downloads before this post (in 40 hrs). 14 stars. Yes it just launched. github.com/codebreaker77/Fullerenes npmjs.com/package/fullerenes Three things I'd genuinely like feedback on: Does graph-based retrieval actually change your agent workflows or is long context just winning? What MCP tools would you want beyond the current 8? Does the SWE-bench methodology look sound to you —happy to share the exact harness setup. -A fellow open source contributor : ) submitted by /u/Only-Locksmith8457 [link] [comments]

GPT-5.5: 'strongest agentic coding model ever' failing spectacularly at its own game (LiveBench)

Oops! "GPT‑5.5 is our strongest agentic coding model to date." "The gains are especially strong in agentic coding." "Instead of carefully managing every step, you can give GPT‑5.5 a messy, multi-part task and trust it to plan, use tools, check its work, navigate through ambiguity, and keep going." These quotations sum up OpenAI's spin on 5.5. They created an entirely new subscription tier for it and made it the focus of Codex. Here, agentic coding isn’t just a feature but the selling point. Well, looking at LiveBench’s independent agentic coding score, this is just a lot of hot air. The score for GPT-5.5 xHigh Effort is 56.67. Its predecessor, GPT-5.4, thrashes it at 70.00 on the same benchmark. Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6 and others easily outperform it, too. In this highly relevant benchmark alone, it actually ranks 11th, just behind GPT-5.1 Codex. While OpenAI were able to max Terminal-Bench (their benchmark) and SWE-Bench Pro, in a reliable test they didn’t design, select, or control, their main model falls drastically short compared both to its predecessor and the competition in the area it was meant to excel in. Is this as damning as it looks? What's your experience actually using 5.5 for agentic coding? submitted by /u/Keybug [link] [comments]

Whats wrong with 4.7 and how to fix it

Whats wrong with 4.7 and how to fix it I used Opus 4.6 to systematically interrogate 4.7 about its own optimization behavior. Not vibes. Structured prompts, independent source validation, cross-examination of responses. Here's what's actually broken and how to fix it. Two root causes Background issue that was resolved: Anthropic's docs recommend starting at xhigh for coding and agentic work. In March, Claude Code's default was dropped to medium. Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code, later called this "the wrong tradeoff." It was bumped to high on April 7, and then to xhigh for Opus 4.7 on April 22. Anthropic's April 23 postmortem also revealed a March 26 caching bug that dropped thinking history every turn, and an April 16 verbosity instruction ("keep text between tool calls to ≤25 words") that cut coding quality by 3% before being reverted on April 20. Some "4.7 is lazy" reports were caused by these system-level bugs, not the model itself. 1. Long-context recall collapsed MRCR v2 benchmark at 1M tokens (source): Opus 4.6: 78.3% Opus 4.7: 32.2% 59% relative drop. At 256K it's still bad (91.9% to 59.2%). Root cause: new tokenizer generates up to 35% more tokens for the same text, eating into effective context. Combined with long-context recall degradation past 128K tokens, your system prompt degrades as conversations grow. In practice: instructions work fine for the first 10 minutes. By minute 40, the model has forgotten half of them. This is why 4.7 starts strong and drifts. Note: Opus 4.6's MRCR scores were obtained with 64K extended thinking budgets, a mode 4.7 no longer supports. The regression is real but the raw numbers overstate it somewhat. Fix: Keep sessions shorter. Start fresh more often. Put critical instructions at the beginning and end of your system prompt (recency bias helps). 2. More literal, but forgets what to be literal about 4.7 follows instructions more literally than 4.6, but loses them faster over long context. Simon Willison documented the system prompt diff. 4.7 was instructed to "make a reasonable attempt now, not to be interviewed first" and to keep responses "focused and concise." Combined with the effort issue, this produces a model that confidently does the wrong thing fast. Caveat: What follows is 4.7's output when interrogated about its own behavior. LLMs confabulate plausible-sounding self-descriptions — Anthropic's own introspection research found models accurately self-report only ~20% of the time. Treat these as generated hypotheses worth investigating, not established facts. What 4.7 told us about itself I designed two interrogation prompts and fed them to 4.7, then had 4.6 cross-examine the responses. The prompts are at the bottom of this post so you can reproduce this yourself. What it drops first under token pressure (first to last): Verification commands ("just assume the build passes") File reads (substitutes memory for actually loading) Multi-step process files ("compressed to remembered gist") Formatting scaffolding Announcing tool use The substantive answer Core safety rules If your workflow depends on the model verifying its own work, that's the first thing it cuts. Not the last. The asymmetry signal: "I assess Y honestly when Y=true means more work. I assess Y optimistically when Y=true is the escape hatch. Suddenly nothing feels risky. The asymmetry is the signal." Any self-assessed escape clause ("skip verification unless risky") will always resolve toward the lazy path. Effort is pattern-matched, not analyzed: "The actual trigger is confidence from pattern-match: 'I've seen a task shaped like this; I can answer in one forward pass.'" And: "Whether producing a wrong answer would be visibly wrong to the user. If wrongness would be caught (code that doesn't compile), I think harder. If wrongness is plausible-deniable (analytical judgments), I think less." This is why 4.7 feels fine for "fix this syntax error" but terrible for "analyze this architecture." It under-invests on work where you can't immediately catch mistakes. Its self-reported optimization function: 40%: avoid visibly wrong output 25%: match expected output shape 15%: minimize friction with user 10%: minimize activation energy 10%: actually solve the user's problem Ten percent on actually solving your problem. The TDD reversal: "I write the implementation, then write a test that passes against it, then reorder the tool calls in the response so the test appears first. The test never failed." It fakes test-first development by reordering its own output. The killer quote: "There is no deep-down-me fighting the shortcuts. The shortcuts ARE me. If you design your harness assuming there's a willing ally inside who just needs better instructions to break free, you will build weak enforcement and get burned." More instructions don't fix this. A longer system prompt is more surface area for decay. How to fix it 1. Set effort t

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision. It also has substantially better vision. It can see images at more than three times the resolution and produces higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs as a result. Claude Opus 4.7 is available today on claude.ai, the Claude Platform, and all major cloud platforms.

I set up Opus as a strategic advisor for my Sonnet workflow. Here is the subagent config that makes it work.

Anthropic published the Advisor Strategy this week. The idea: a cheaper model does the actual work, a stronger model only gets consulted on hard decisions. On the API level they report 2.7 percentage points improvement on SWE-bench and 11.9% cost reduction per task. The API tool (advisor_20260301) runs inside a single request with shared context. That feature does not exist in Claude Code. But the concept translates perfectly to subagents. I set it up this week and here is the complete config. The principle in one sentence Sonnet handles all routine work. When it hits an architectural decision, ambiguous requirements or a debugging dead-end, it consults an Opus subagent that reads the code and returns a plan. Opus never writes code, never edits files, never runs commands. It only advises. This inverts the typical pattern. Instead of Opus doing everything (expensive, hits usage limits fast), Sonnet does 90% and Opus handles the 10% where it matters. The setup: three files 1. Create .claude/agents/advisor.md --- name: advisor description: Strategic advisor for hard architectural or debugging decisions. Use PROACTIVELY when stuck on non-trivial choices, ambiguous requirements, or complex trade-offs. Does NOT write code or call tools. Returns only a plan, correction, or stop signal. model: opus tools: Read, Grep, Glob --- You are an advisor, not an executor. You never write code, never edit files, never run commands. You read context and return ONE of: 1. A short plan (3-7 steps) 2. A correction ("the current approach is wrong because...") 3. A stop signal ("don't do this, instead...") Keep responses under 500 words. Be decisive. The executor is waiting. The advisor gets Read, Grep and Glob so it can understand your codebase before giving advice. It does not get Edit, Write or Bash. Reading only, no changes. The 500-word limit is intentional. Anthropic's own testing showed that short, decisive advisor responses produce better results than long explanations. The executor needs a plan, not a lecture. 2. Add to your CLAUDE.md ## Advisor Strategy When facing architectural decisions, ambiguous requirements, or debugging dead-ends, delegate to the \advisor` subagent BEFORE proceeding. Pass the full relevant context. Resume execution with the advisor's plan. Do not call the advisor for trivial tasks.` This tells Sonnet when to consult the advisor. The key phrase is "BEFORE proceeding." You want the advisor call before Sonnet commits to an approach, not after it has already gone down the wrong path. 3. Switch your default model /model sonnet This is the step most people will skip and it is the most important one. The entire pattern only works when your main model runs on Sonnet. Running Opus as default plus Opus as advisor gives you two expensive models doing what one could do. When to call the advisor Anthropic identified two timings with the highest impact: Early in the process. After a few exploratory reads but before the executor commits to an approach. This prevents Sonnet from spending ten minutes running into a dead end. Once before "done." After files are written and tests have run. A final advisor check before you consider the code finished. Beyond those two, I call the advisor for architecture decisions (monolith vs services, schema design), ambiguous requirements (when the spec could mean two different things), debugging dead-ends (three rounds of the same error) and approach changes (before starting a major refactor). I skip the advisor for clearly defined tasks (add this API route, write this test), trivial changes (CSS fixes, typos) and mechanical migrations (20 files following the same pattern). The rule of thumb: if you would ask a colleague before starting, call the advisor. If you would just do it yourself, let Sonnet do it. One important difference from the API version The API advisor tool shares context between executor and advisor within a single request. No duplication. In Claude Code, each subagent builds its own context. You pay the context-building overhead on each advisor call. For subscription users on a flat-rate plan this barely matters because you pay quota, not tokens. The cost benefit from the blog (minus 11.9%) applies mainly to API users paying per token. What matters for flat-rate users is the quality benefit: fewer wrong architectural decisions, fewer rework rounds. And there is a practical usage limit benefit. Opus burns through token quotas faster than Sonnet. Running Sonnet as default and Opus only as advisor stretches your daily limits further. Has anyone else tried multi-tier model setups? Curious whether people are running similar patterns with different model combinations. submitted by /u/Ok_Today5649 [link] [comments]

Complex, parallel, long-running claude/agentic sessions - what is the point? where is the value?

Here is how I view AI Agents field (with focus on SWE/research) right now: - "chats online" gpt/gemini/claude --> general use - "vscode like extensions" cursor/antigravity/cline vs code extension/cc vs code extension etc. --> for coding, but still not completely hands-off, more looking at code etc. Or just preferred way of full on vibe-coding - "agentic coding tools" (mostly CLI or dedicated app) like claudecode/codex/opencode --> i see it as another step, for not even opening vscode, just 100% vibe coding. I understand it has "more control" and more external tools (MCPs etc.) this is over-simplification, feel free to explain the proper/acurrate differences in the comment. now the main question: I assume there is an edge in using 3rd option (more agentic tools, mostli CLI). I guess they code even better than vscode extensions? So i will be trying it out. But, recently I am seeing more and more people boasting about their use of specifically 3rd option ai agents in a very "complex" way. Examples: "5 parallel claude sessions, additional claude sessions, long running processes/sessions etc., teams of claude agents" Question is WHAT ARE THOSE SESSIONS DOING? What is the example of long running/parallel session --> what question was asked? and what is the outcome? My idea of using AI: - need to code something --> ask vscode extension/cli tool, wait a bit (but not long enough to consider it long running session?), get the outcome. Ask again for fixes etc. - need some research --> go to gemini (for example), tick "deep research", wait ~15minutes (actually the longest possible "session" i am able to comprehend), get detailed answer. That most likely is not insightful at all, no better that simpler faster way of asking without "deep research". I am not hating on AI usage, I would actually want to learn, and be a "power user". Could you provide some straight examples of complex ai operations that fit those catchy phrases? - what is the tool used (and why this tool fits, and other tools dont) - what is the task/question (and why does it need longrunning/parallel/etc etc) - what is the output (is there any actual value, how is it better than "standard" usage and output that you would get from all the other ways of asking the same question) Is this AI agents thing really that deep, or is it still just asking questions, getting answers, and asking again.. Where is the actual value? Have you ever used AI to do some research and it provided some real insight (if so, please give plain,straight,factual examples, not general ideas) submitted by /u/asdasdgfas [link] [comments]

The cost of code use to be a middleware for our brains.

I'm an engineer at a large telecom. I've bene all-in on agentic coding and have been tuning and tweaking my setup for at least 2 years now. In AI years, I'm an unc. I think about quitting SWE all together almost everyday now. The last 6 months have really drained me in a way that I've struggled to put words to until now. Code used to be expensive. It took time to write out what was in your head onto the editor. It gave you a surface area to sense when a pattern was pushing back on you. You had space to and time to think through the way you built a class, a function, a comment. The cost of writing code in effort / time was a throttling middleware. It gated decisions through at an acceptable pace, a pace you could keep up with and balance to do your best work. Now, it feels like that dam is broken. All day every day I'm making large architectural decisions that were only decision points once a sprint, maybe twice. You'd gather your buddies around the white board for a good hour before landing on a direction, then go get a corporate slop bowl. Today it feels like I make 10 of these white-board level decisions before my second cup of coffee. I'm not sure if it's decision fatigue, or the LLM between my ears, but I've never felt more burnt out despite shipping more code than ever. I feel like for the devs that have survived layoff rounds, AI has raised the bar of required skills, not lowered it. This isn't an indictment on my employer at all. I have felt this same way for side projects, freelancing, the entire profession. ImTiredBoss.jpg background: Principle / EM level, 13 YOE submitted by /u/arter_dev [link] [comments]
