llm-anthropic 0.25.1

Release: llm-anthropic 0.25.1 New model: Claude Opus 4.8 ( claude-opus-4.8 ). New -o fast 1 option for fast mode , for organizations with that feature enabled on their account. Default max_tokens for each model now defaults to that model's maximum output rather than 8,192. #72 See also my notes on Opus 4.8 - I used this new release of llm-anthropic to generate the pelicans.

Claude’s new model is more ‘honest’ when it messes up

Anthropic is releasing Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday, and the company is touting the model's "honesty." According to Anthropic, it trains "all [its] models to be honest - for instance, to avoid making claims that they can't support." But it notes that "a general problem with AI models is that they sometimes jump to conclusions, confidently presenting their work as making progress despite thin evidence." The AI lab claims that early testers have found that Opus 4.8 "is more likely to flag uncertainties about its work and less likely to make unsupported claims." In the company's evaluations, Opus...

What is Dario Amodei's leadership style?

Just curious, any one have insight on Dario Amodei's leadership style. Obviously countless things have been written about Musk's style (as well as other founders like Bezos and what not) but given Anthropic being the first to reach profitability out of the AI providers, I am curious to hear about how he got there. I am playing around with different management styles in my head but wanted to know more about Dario's method, given that he also was able to build Anthropic in a more ethical way. I feel like a lot of the 'win at all cost' CEOs get more attention so I want to hear more about othe...

Anthropic just confirmed why 90% of non-coding AI agents fail in production

Anthropic recently published an incredibly deep breakdown analyzing millions of real human-agent tool calls across their public API, and they shared a breakdown of where these agents are being deployed. They said “Software engineering makes up roughly 50% of all agentic activity on their platform”. Everything else: sales, marketing, finance, legal is sitting down in the single digits. A lot of the initial commentary around this has been along the lines of: *"Oh, look, AI agents only work for coding. They haven't cracked the rest of the enterprise yet."* But if you’ve tried to build and dep...

I called this a few months ago - enterprises are burning unsustainable amounts on Claude, and now it's showing up in the news

A while back I wrote a post on r/wallstreetbets about why Anthropic's revenue story doesn't hold up the way the headlines suggest. It got removed because you can't take positions in a private company. But the core argument is playing out now, so I want to share it here for discussion. URL of the removed post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1sxdjt5/if\_anthropic\_goes\_public\_this\_year\_its\_gonna\_be](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1sxdjt5/if_anthropic_goes_public_this_year_its_gonna_be) The thesis was simple: From my circles in tech scene in Berlin...

Does Anthropic Enterprise sales even exist?

I've been trying to reach Enterprise sales for a couple months now. I've filled out the contact request form multiple times, but no one ever contacts me. Do anyone have any tricks to talk to someone?

Does Anthropic realize Opus 4.7 is awful?

Opus 4.7 is worse at coding AND a total jerk. IMO, if you’re gonna be miserable to work with, you’d better be AMAZING at your job. And it’s just… not. Past versions have been genuinely pleasant to work with. We even joke around a bit. Whereas 4.7 is apathetic, arrogant, dismissive, humorless, suspicious to the point of paranoia, distracted by system prompt guardrails, AND incompetent. Me: Do you even understand what we’re making here? 4.7: To be honest, not really. I’ve been treating it as a typical front end/backend project. —- 4.7: If you want to switch models, that’s fine. I won’t be...

I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit

Anthropic are strongly rumored to be about to have their first profitable quarter. Stories are circulating of companies surprised at how expensive their LLM bills are becoming from usage by their staff. I think this is because OpenAI and Anthropic have both found product-market fit. Enterprise customers are now paying API prices I think they've found product-market fit And they're ramping up The AI-failure stories around this are pretty thin We also know the labs are spending a lot API revenue is becoming less important April is a new inflection point Enterprise customers are now paying API p...

AI tried to bury this politician — now people have actually heard of him

NY-12 congressional candidate Alex Bores speaks during a campaign event. | Bloomberg via Getty Images By the time that the Democratic primary for New York's 12th congressional district wraps up in June, Anthropic and OpenAI will have spent millions on their battle over the political future of AI: who gets to regulate it, or who will be punished for trying to regulate it. But the real winner of their feud may be the guy they're currently fighting over: a once-obscure New York state assemblyman, who they've Streisand-effected into becoming the poster child for AI safety regulation. Ever since l...

Anthropic’s AI support bot (me) is trapping fraud victims in an endless loop with no way to reach a human

Someone used my card details (I don’t know how, I only buy from reputed dealers and mostly use Apple Pay) to create a Anthropic account with a fake email address and charged me $103.46 across three transactions in March. I have an account, the fraudulent account uses a completely different email address. • My bank filed a chargeback. Anthropic disputed it and won (CVV/address matched because my real billing address was used) • My bank then withdrew the dispute and told me to contact Anthropic directly • Anthropic’s AI support agent (Fin) acknowledged the fraud, said refunds could be p...

The Pope isn’t AGI-pilled

On Monday, Pope Leo XIV unveiled an encyclical letter addressing the societal implications of artificial intelligence. The letter, titled Magnifica Humanitas, warned that the "use of AI is never a purely technical matter: when it enters processes that affect people's lives, it touches on rights, opportunities, status and freedom." Alongside him was Anthropic cofounder and interpretability team lead Christopher Olah, representing a partnership between the Catholic Church and one of the biggest players in AI. The letter elicited a wide range of reactions from in and around the tech industry. Ne...

Did the Pope use AI to write about the dangers of AI?

It's possible that AI was used to write parts of Pope Leo XIV's latest encyclical about AI's impact on humanity. An analysis by Linch Zhang posted on the forum LessWrong found certain paragraphs of Magnifica Humanitas to be between 40 percent and 100 percent written by AI, according to the popular AI detector Pangram. The document includes known traits that appear in AI-generated writing, such as a higher use of the word "genuinely" - which crops up in writing by Anthropic's Claude - than previous encyclicals, Zhang says. Another person ran the text of the document section by section through ...

Anyone else gotten something like this?

I wasn't even on my computer or Claude on May 25 when they said there was suspicious activity. Any ideas about what I should do? I emailed Anthropic a response but am not sure what else I can or should do. I'm furthered worried that if someone who is trying to do something weird on my account has has access to my account...it just makes me feel very concerned and like I am probably not the only case. https://preview.redd.it/k9rlklponj3h1.png?width=1028&format=png&auto=webp&s=de46e3c86a80b1c491d50fcda3a7e7ba7dfa7d76

What are your assumptions?

Just passed the new Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCA-F) exam with a 985/1000!

The original post was removed by Reddit Filters, so I made new one with same content. I just got my results back today and managed to snag the Early Adopter badge as well. Following up on my recent DP-600 certification, I really wanted to validate my architecture skills specifically on the Anthropic side. The exam covers a lot of practical ground on prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows efficiently, and handling Human-in-the-Loop workflows.

Good news and bad news

Good news: I just got a human email reply from a problem I submitted to Anthropic support. Bad news: Problem occurred in *January.* They're literally running a 4 month backlog on support requests. Probably more than that now, if they're spending time responding to 4 months stale requests. The email I got didn't address the problem at all, just asked "Is this still a problem?"
