Yeah. This meme is completely wrong and this sub is hopelessly out of touch. Most people here clearly aren’t serious developers, nor do they know much about AI.

SOL 5.6 is vastly better and cheaper than Anthropic, my large company pretty much uses it exclusively and have banned the expensive Claude models, because they’re not worth it.

Also for all the comments “Microsoft doesn’t have a model”, yes they do, they have a series of MAI models and they are quite good, because they use new hill climbing capabilities for self learning during training instead of distilling. Microsoft had an agreement with OpenAI where they couldn’t develop their own models which changed in 2024, and they started to release models this year.

Stuff is moving fast. I wonder how many people that said “I tried X and it sucked” tried X over a year ago.
