• Judging one model worse than another from a one-shot, probabilistic output on a given day is not a good way to evaluate it. TGTommy Geoco19 May 2026
• Claude Opus 5.5 is a Tier 2 cyber model, despite Anthropic placing it in the lower category. ZMZvi Mowshowitz23 Sept 2026
• The interesting question is not what the next model will be able to do, but what the models already released can do that nobody has worked out yet. SWSimon Willison19 Mar 2026
• Agentic code review raises the floor but cannot be trusted, because the model reading the code is the same model that wrote it, and it will tell you the code is great. DHDex Horthy15 Jul 2026
• The code today’s models and agents write is very hard to follow: you get better performance without knowing why, and no way to fix it when it breaks. ESElizabeth Stone19 Jul 2026
