Claude Opus 1M context window launch

+++ Anthropic quietly made 1M context windows the default for Opus across most tiers, proving that sometimes the most impactful feature releases come with zero fanfare and maximum practicality. +++

Opus 4.6 now defaults to 1M context! (same pricing)

"Just saw this in the last CC update."

[D] ran controlled experiments on meta's COCONUT and found the "latent reasoning" is mostly just good training. the recycled hidden states actually hurt generalization

"COCONUT (Hao et al., 2024) claims models can reason in latent space by recycling hidden states instead of writing chain-of-thought tokens. it gets \~97% on ProsQA vs \~77% for CoT. nobody controlled for the obvious alternative... maybe the multistage curriculum tr..."

Fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 2B to beat same-quant 4B, 9B, 27B, and 35B on a real dictation cleanup task, full pipeline, code, and eval (RTX 4080 Super, under Β£1 compute)

"I fine-tuned a 2B parameter model that beat the 4B, 9B, 27B, and 35B versions of the same model family (Qwen 3.5) on a real product task, evaluated on 161 held-out samples, all gaps statistically significant (p < .0001). The task: real-time dictation cleanup for VoiceInk, a macOS dictation app I..."
