Yep I'm done. 5.1 is not a good release. I had to revert a bunch of changes and will need to start a new chat with 5.0 to continue. That was a whole new level of testing my patience

I'm about to throw 5.1 out the window

That would be really cool.

Yea I'm not liking 5.1. It's really glitchy with understanding the context of your replies when asking it to do something, using the prompts it just told you to use. I wonder if I can safely go back to 5.0.

I think a lot of Americans that aren't use to eating rice as a main staple of their diet could really benefit from buying a decent rice cooker and just making rice regularly as a habit.

Combine that with learning how to make marinades and sauces from basic ingredients, and you've solved most meals.

Did you actually tell Claude you were in fact Kate Compton, just to see what it said?

The 5.1 thinking takes a lot more time now. Multiple minutes in some cases. I hope this means it's a lot more thorough and isn't just slower.

So far I haven't really noticed an improvement in responses in 5.1 compared to 5.0. I think I actually prefer how 5.0 responded.

I had never heard of Nebius or Mistral. Neither are American founders - Nebius is by an ex-Yandex Russian-turned-Israeli founder, Mistral is by ex-Deepmind and ex-Meta French cofounders.

AI News is always hyperfocused on US vs Chinese but interesting there are other global contenders.
