I keep hearing about this "inflection", but it feels extremely exaggerated to me. And yes, I was using it at the time. It got incrementally better, it wasn't that amazing.

I think the bigger shift was harnesses and the two ended up somewhat commingled in people's minds.

Claude code was a lot of people's introduction to using coding agents that could do a lot more than copy-pasting from a chatbot or autocomplete.

The tool usage + skills got markedly better and so did the thinking cohesion. Add 1m context windows and it was a very noticeable shift.

Opus 4.6 quality for local inference would be revolutionary.

1m context is garbage

It's just a metric. If it can find a needle in a 1Mtok haystack, then it's likely good at coding within a 200Ktok context (or whatever, insert your number here, I'm just trying to make a point)
