Claude 4: A Brilliant Mind Shackled by Outdated Architecture
Anthropic’s latest AI shows flashes of genius—when it isn’t tripping over its own legacy code.
The Promise and the Paywall
Claude 4 delivers mind-bending creative outputs that leave GPT-5 in the dust... when it works. The rest of the time? You’re paying enterprise SaaS prices for an AI that still gets confused by basic prompts from 2023.
VC-Backed Limitations
That $4B valuation clearly didn’t go toward fixing the context window issues. Meanwhile, open-source models keep eating Anthropic’s lunch—proving once again that Silicon Valley’s ’moats’ are just poorly disguised rent-seeking.
The Verdict
A staggering technical achievement that somehow makes you miss the simpler days of GPT-3. Maybe next iteration they’ll spend less time courting Wall Street and more time fixing their damn API latency.
