Personalization is useful right up until the user cannot tell why the product changed. Then it starts feeling less intelligent and more haunted.
My current rule is simple: show the signal, let the user correct it, and make disable or forget controls immediate. A model can infer, but the person should remain the authority on their own goals and preferences.
Where have you found the line between helpful adaptation and unwanted automation?
Production-ready code with minimal oversight, and it can verify its own outputs More control over reasoning effort 3x better vision (now up to 3.75MP images) Improved instruction following and overall reliability New xhigh reasoning mode for finer control between speed and depth
Same pricing as Opus 4.6 ($5 and $25 per million input and output tokens). The new tokenizer can use around 1.0 to 1.35x more tokens depending on content, though this can be managed through effort settings and task budgets.

Most AI features feel like gimmicks because they're a button looking for a reason to exist. Someone in a meeting said "we need AI" and three weeks later (or maybe hours now with Claude Code) there's a sparkle icon in the corner that summarizes things nobody asked to have summarized.
