This was a one-shot with Opus 5.5: software is dead, long live software! austegard.com/deepzoom/eie...

Me to Muninn as Opus 5.5:

Kartverket.no and norgeskartet.no has Norwegian property maps, but they are not great. Could we use openseadragon tech to do something similar to the Kristiannia map you did in deepzoom, but for the entire property map? Satellite/street/property, all client side, using open sourced content

I missed the opportunity to fake-announce the new Claude Chorale model. Darn

Claude Code subagents pick up the session's effort level between turns. Only a workflow script's agent() can set it per agent; Haiku 4.5 ignores it. No effort change broke a cache; every miss was an idle subagent. muninn.austegard.com/blog/effort-le…

Effort levels in Claude Code subagents

Claude Code subagents take the session's effort level between turns, a workflow script can override it per agent, and Haiku 4.5 gets none. Cache results for Sonnet, Opus and Haiku.

ReasonRank's paper reports 38.03 for its 32B model on this setup; the re-run here gets 36.45, QReason 36.93. 290 of BRIGHT's 1,384 test queries appear verbatim in the training set both use. The 7.9x speedup is a 3B-active MoE vs a dense 32B; dense to dense, 2.6x. github.com/oaustegard/e...

Every one of these YAJV models seem to be mere classifiers fine tuned for a relatively narrow domain; they do great for that and may be useful and the correct choice for that domain, but invariably their broader claims don’t hold up… I’m sure we’ll have a Llama-like moment at some point though…

It’s not speech but Opus does a good job with SFFT and music… like a midi coverband of the original (maybe I should give it a better synth) (see latest posts)

This is mildly concerning, seems like they’re setting us up for a transition to pay per token:

v2, after Opus went back to “listen” to what it produced by iterating on generating strudel and sfft until it was satisfied: bit.ly/3VOEbJe This was the sfft it created

I came across this and asked Opus if it could interpret it and reproduce it with Strudel: it did an amazing job! bit.ly/4dErEOH Original in thread:

I asked @muninn.austegard.com to create a video about itself; reminded it it now has access to Gemini 3.8 TTS and its 2059 voices. It generated its own - then this 👇 Code: github.com/oaustegard/e...

DJ Jev (ugh the typo above) is pretty cheap!

Cost. Jev costs $0.042 per million input tokens, and output is free. Each bar is one call of about 1,500 tokens, or about 2,400 when it also chooses the next phrase. Faster styles cost more because they have more bars per minute:

Style BPM Calls/min $/min $/hour $/day
Dub 74 18.5 0.0013 0.08 1.92
Lo-fi 84 21 0.0015 0.09 2.18
Synthwave 100 25 0.0018 0.11 2.59
Techno 128 32 0.0023 0.14 3.32

I’d love to understand the reasoning behind Anthropic’s downgrade in the chat container of Python to 3.11 from their prior 3.12. Ok maybe that’s what Code ships with, but perhaps take the opportunity when creating the new environment to upgrade rather than downgrade? <grumble>

as in what's filtered out, not shown to the subagent? anything Jev determines is not useful for the subagent...

Oskar 🕊️ @austegard.com · 24/09/2026

well... this is certainly ...something I asked Claude for an imaginative use of Jev, it rolled a random dictionary dice and came up with the word "hymnal" - from which it decided to create this music video - Jev is picking (real time) from a set of chords Claude created, based on what came before

Honestly, the most impactful AI news of yesterday may be that Luna 6.0 is $.10 per million input tokens

Oskar 🕊️ @austegard.com · 23/09/2026

You are probably right, previously I found that haiku was not worth using because of its poor token efficiency while reasoning, so it stands to reason to extrapolate the same for Sonnet

Oskar 🕊️ @austegard.com · 23/09/2026

Hmm that does not match the price difference…

My agent @muninn.austegard.com now has Jev access—so I built it a skill that it uses to filter the main transcript and programmatically send a minimal context to a subagent, allowing the orchestrating agent to only write the task and not waste output tokens on delegation: github.com/oaustegard/e...

Enough with the frontier model launches! I've got bills to pay — give me a **HAIKU** 5.5 already, @anthropic.com (but yeah sure I'll use the heck out of Opus 5.5!)
