Rehydrated version of what? And what does that mean?

100% agreed, and I've been explaining this to people for the past year.

I have an iPhone now and miss Firefox for Android (with Ublock, sponsorblock, etc). But this painful restriction is the only thing stopping Chrome from becoming the new IE6.

At a few startups I've worked for, the devs all use chrome exclusively, and only test in chrome during development.

The only reason they consider other browsers, is because of Safari on iOS. Sometimes it's driven by support calls / complains from iOS users after a release. If Chrome's engine is allowed on iOS, that means support can just tell the users to install Chrome (like they do now if anyone has issues on Windows in other browsers). This means Firefox will usually work as well.

Many years ago, I was able to swap banks when my bank's website stopped working in Opera 12. If all the major banks / websites target Chrome-only, we'll have no choice but to use it. And then we'll have no control as Google push new restrictions into Chrome.

And the scripts of most recent YouTube videos, and the dialogue in Stranger Things Season 5 (the last 3 episodes specifically).

Just means we'll have to run another model in front of it, to filter out the ads

I agree on all 3 counts. And it still degrades after a few long turns in openwebui. You can test this by regenerating the last reply in chats from shortly after the model was released.

I love logical posts like this. There are other factors like mxfp4 in gpt-oss, mla in deepseek, etc.

>Amazon Bedrock serves Claude Opus 4.5 at 57.37

I checked the other Opus-4 models on bedrock:

Opus 4 - 18.56tps Opus 4.1 - 19.34tps

So they changed the active parameter count with Opus 4.5

Good observation!

56.37 tps / 19.34 tps ≈ 2.9

This explains why Opus 4.1 is 3 times the price of Opus 4.5.

Almost any modern LLM can do this, even GPT-OSS

Glad you mentioned "Cursor has been a terrible experience lately", as I was planning to finally give it a try. I'd heard it has the best auto-complete, which I don't get use VSCode with Claude Code in the terminal.

You should still give it a try. Can’t speak for their experience, but doesn’t ring true for me.

+1, it had a bad period when they were hyperscaling up, but IME they've found their pace (very) recently - I almost ditched cursor in the summer, but am a quite happy user now.

I haven’t used Cursor since I use Neovim and it’s hard to move out.

The auto-complete suggestions from FIM models (either open source or even something Gemini Flash) punch far above their weight. That combined with CC/Codex has been a good setup for me.

You're absolutely right!
