About Claude - The Triumph of the Ordinary

Описание: SHOW NOTES

Claude's mid-tier Sonnet model just topped a benchmark designed to measure AI against the actual day-to-day work of professionals — beating its own more powerful flagship in the process. Today we explore what that result reveals about how the definition of AI capability is quietly being rewritten.

Why "reliability" and "taste" beat "brilliance" when the task is an inbox, not an exam
