The new released Claude Opus 4.5 adds an “effort” mode that balances speed and depth, cuts token use by up to 76%.
But how do you activate this Claude Code?
Is this the same as:
PLAN MODE + ULTRATHINK
@Jacobsklug Too generic, diplomatic, re-active instead of pro-active, and much more.
But it seems that the mainstream is happy with it.
Interesting times.
Spending the week with Claude Code.
Something's different...
It doesn't just complete code.
It reimagines solutions.
My guess:
Standard tools: ~0.2 (deterministic)
Claude Code: ~0.7-0.8? (exploratory)
Has anyone reverse-engineered this?
@AnthropicAI@claude_code just released this fantastic selection flow feature within their terminal.
It clarifies the last questions before implementing the discussed requirements.
One-shot success rate? → way higher
User experience? → highly improved
Well done! 👏🏻
In 5 years, most people will prefer AI companions over real relationships.
Not because humans are broken.
Because AI partners give you everything you need:
- Zero drama
- Complete understanding
- Emotional safety
- No exhausting conflicts
Uncomfortable truth. But truth nonetheless.
@alexalbert__ Claude 4 results are impressive, but as a Pro customer who subscribed for a year, it just feels unpleasant with the current rate limits.
I understand your strategy with the MAX plan (90bucks/month) but do not underestimate the user experience for existing customers.
