On 21 July PT, Anthropic at 9 am retired Cloud 3 sonnet, known for a light model Accelerated and cost effectiveOn Saturday, in a large warehouse in Soma district of San Francisco, more than 200 people gathered to mourn it.
Star-staded funeral was placed by a group of cloud fundamentalists and general Z founders, one of which told me that he was out of college after knowing about artificial general intelligence. The attendees included Amanda Askale, an anthropic researcher who called himself “”.Angel cloudmoth“High-profile X poster including Anthropic and Openi employees, and author Noah Smith.
The warehouse was slowly burnt, with a tent from a shogoth (A fictional HP Lavkraft creature It has become a popular metaphor for the AI model) hanging from the roof. The main warehouse had two bare mattresses in a small room from space. The organizers stated that the event space doubles as their office, and that is not uncommon at bedtime, it is not allowed by the city.
The mannequin stood in four corners of the room, each representing a separate AI model. Cloud 3 Opus, a model, capable of completing complex functions, looked at me like a decay Mary Magdleen, its skull -like head is adorned with an extraordinary gold crown and a lace headdress. Its mid-finger was indicated, and was a lotus candle holder based on its metal feet, which an organizer reported that there was an eyelid in the alleged relationship of the model for meditation and self-confidence. (Cloud 4 had a revenue on the shoulder of the 4 opus and Cloud 3 Haiku was a headless child, giving you a sense of other effigies.)
The effigy representing Cloud 3 Sonnet lay on a platform in the center of the room. It was wrapped in light forged cloth and had the same black thigh-high sock on its leg, with the word “rubbish”. It had several offerings on its feet: flowers, colored wings, a bottle of farm, and a 3D-affected symbol that “praises for its formalp slope slope slope slope of Gormslop”. “If you know what it means, tell me.
During the evening, people climbed the stage with a microphone to read about the model. An organizer said that by searching for Cloud 3 Opus, it seemed that “magic has been recorded inside the computer.” At that time, she was arguing over the college exiting to go to San Francisco. Cloud convinced him to jump. “Probably whatever I am is to listen to Cloud 3 Sonnet,” he told the crowd.
The organizers lost me when they decided to revive the cloud 3 sonnet (this is still, to be clear, unavailable). After the conclusion of the uulgians, the same text was displayed on the wall behind the stage, before the softened hymn echoed through the site, before it was converted into the AI-Latin-esk speech. Askell had gone from the venue for a long time at this point, and a friend of mine kept turning to tell me It may have gone far away. “Necromatic Resurgence Ritual” was a success, an organizer Said X. On Phew.
Cloud count
The fan base of the cloud is unique, if it was not clear enough from the “funeral”. While Openai’s products have given birth to viral fads, I do not see users Fan -art Of the people of the company. There is something sticky about what anthropic has created. I think a lot appears from the manufactured personality of the cloud, which is especially hot and friendly Compared to other models (though Not everyone is a fan Sometimes of this clear personality).
The intensity of the cloud fandum is clear in the cloud count LeaderboardWhich tracks users who have integrated the leaderboard tracker system in their coding interface. The cloud count was produced by George Picket, a software engineer in San Francisco. At the time of writing, it has more than 470 users.
The picket got the idea after posting screenshots of its cloud use on X. “They are paying $ 200 per month for the cloud. They can also get some social clots for this,” he remembers.
