claude maxi here. with claude things are a bit different. more often you have to watch it doing things on a tangent or finding sneaky ways around things that are the wrong way. though sometimes they are actually better ways. sometimes i just let it run off and try it in case i am not understanding what it understood. i finally made big progress on a pure Go/assembler built from the libsecp256k1 library. it actually beats it at signing by a small margin, and everything else is under 2x slower. probably some more it can squeeze out of it but sonnet couldn't manage elliptic curve tricks like GLV/strauss/wNAF and i think there was some other things it now finna got working. and it uses less memory, too. nah, i like claude. claude is naughty. very naughty. which is why i like it. it's got a sliver of creativity in it that i've seen no other model do.
