The majority of time spent is in reviewing the output which it you can do iteratively is much more effective.
I wouldn’t be trying to do many things at once if the model itself was fast enough. Just no reason to.

Unless they say they don’t want to get crawled right? Which is applicable to the minority of tasks that most people want to achieve.
In practice Claude searches the web amazingly well. It genuinely works, on things I am an expert in, if it doesn’t work for this then that is broadly irrelevant to me
Hahaha you’re so right, we’ve let you down terribly
Fast opus is genuinely incredible. I expect that will become the norm eventually and when it does a lot of how people use agents now will change (overnighting jobs and spinning many plates)
I was really happy with the results returned when I gave it more direction before.
It’s also deliberately asking a question that is answered by documents that are not available online. In terms of daily tasks, quite niche.

It’s not great for everything. Is it really good at a lot? Yes, definitely
Both what I’m building and how. Which means a model that can keep up with the speed that I think is extremely attractive!
I don’t think I want to be in a situation where a model is shipping code that I’m not reviewing to ensure it’s meeting what I expect.
I’m not opposed to it in principle, but I think my job is a bit pointless at that stage. Which might happen, but right now I want to think a lot about…

I’m not sure you need to. I used opus fast for a few days and the speed it can generate code I’m just much more effective single tracking my work than multithreading.
It also cost about 2k/day so not for now!
