The most humanly AI i have used so far but the problem is as soon as you start piling up messages in single chat session , it starts getting slow and at some point it starts freezing and also uses a lot of resources. For time being its okay to do 3 4 messages but as soon as we continue it has messages limitation and also starts getting very very slow .

There are lot of improvements for them to work on. And to start with the its speed and its price

A huge disappointment. It fails standard tasks that Sonnet 3.5 completes with no issue. I’ll be skipping this version.
