Tokens are not a substitute for a numerical measurement.

Ask a LLM how much time has passed. Watch it hallucinate wildly.

Has anyone noticed that Opus has trouble building ascii diagrams (often leaves out spaces so lines are misaligned)?

LLMs are just one mechanical component. One might as well say "Ask your println how much time has passed". That is not a question that makes sense. As an example, I did not construct my agent specifically to answer your question and when I saw your question I queried the agent. And it is correct. https://imgur.com/a/j8j7hL9

As semiquaver said, modern LLMs are multi-modal, they can reason in image-space and audio-space as well as in text-space. It is not a translate then operate kind of situation. Claude Design is not a raw LLM, nor an instruction-tuned LLM. It is an agent harness around an LLM that allows it to do certain things.

Ok? Your comment is in no way responsive to anything I said.
