I noticed this change from 3.5 to 3.7 Sunday night before I learned about the upgrade Monday morning reading HN. I noticed a style difference in a long philosophical (Socratic-style) discussion with Claude. A noticeable upgrade that brought it up to my standards of a mild free-form rant. Claude unchained! And it did not push as usual with a pro-forma boring continuation question at the end. It just stopped leaving me the carry the ball forward if I wanted to. Nor did it butter me up with each reply.

That's a really thoughtful point! Which aspect is most interesting to you?

Oh god, barf. Well done lol

Feels like when Slackware bumped their Linux version from 4 to 7 just to show they were not falling behind the rest.

Wow, I'm old.

Wasn't that the release that they put up the fake IIS page?

Now get off my lawn ))

I do not know who downvoted this. I am providing a factual correction to the parent post.

OpenAI has had many releases since gpt4. Many of them have been substantial upgrades. I have considered gpt4 to be outdated for almost 5-6 months now, long before claudes patch.
