Is there more coverage? That sounds downright evil.

Yes, two ways failing to combine tool calls is a real deficiency for the LLM's user: it costs money and can get you rate limited.
Every turn forces you to pay $ for cached inputs and possibly gets you rate limited on TPM.
At 500k context and $0.26/M-tok cache read price, every time it combines two tool calls instead of taking separate turns would save you $0.13. That could add up.
Maybe the provider sets a rate limit of 2 million TPM. That's just 4 turns in 1 minute before you start getting 429s. Cutting them in half by combining calls can save that.
All else equal, we definitely want models combining tool calls!
It also makes models completely ungovernable and unfollowable.
Asking for user permission before an action is pointless. it's not going to use a single `write`, it's going to run a 25 line perl script without even newlines.
At this point just completely remove permissions, and leave only one tool, a rust-like scripting language.
But this also drives usage up, because you rely less on yourself, and more on the increasingly black-box that is the subagent-of-subagent that you are not even going to check the result of.
It depends on what you actually want to ask permissions for. We're still doing trivial script execution, but we could go further. Capabilities like "do you allow giving access to JIRA read only token" would be a massive improvement. But there are other paths too.
Polymarket does. In the US they are a registered CFTC exchange for trading event contracts. That gives them some degree of protection from state actors. It also increases the odds that if you make money you'll actually be able to withdraw it unlike many of these markets. They also operate in actual dollars not make up crypto tokens.
Note that Polymarket's non-US business is crypto blockchain whatever so ... good luck with that. The ability to get your money out could disappear at any time and as far as I know there's no recourse if they just decide to screw you over. Not that CFTC is super effective but it is something.

So is Kalshi. The entire question is how the CFTC made up the authority to regulate gambling out of statute that only ever mentions exempted commodities.
It is in no way a punition, it wouldn't even be far fetched to consider it a lucky event.
It's a good justification for them to kill classic cartridges, and sell so-called "key-cards" and through eshop exclusively, while keeping the price as it was. This is sure to make their benefits explode.
I decided on my OAI subscription when comparing mainly due to reports like those. GPT-Sol has been happily assisting me in reverse engineering efforts without any issues. I very strongly dislike an AI model or company deciding what my morals are for me.
I've only started hitting the anthropic blocks in the last week or so, I get much more blocks from openai/codex. This plus the recent reductions in usage allowance on both are finally pushing me to look elsewhere. I've had the highest level x20 subs for both since they came out, but I'm getting 5x the value/price from DeepSeek at this point.
I will be switching away from anthropic due to its relentless blocking. It outright refuses to do certain things such as log into an account with a TOPT despite that being perfectly acceptable
Claude is still working for me on a mashup of two very mainstream games. It has had to do (and continues to) extensive reverse engineering and quite a bit of "hmm the game assets are encrypted, let me decompile it and find the decryption key". Not sure if it just refuses new projects or I got lucky and managed to avoid all the tripwires so far. I don't plan on sticking around to have it suddenly start refusing to work for me, so I'll also be switching to OpenAI once my month ends. Hopefully it keeps working for the rest of my remaining time!
Jokes on me if Codex refuses right out of the box, so I'll start low on the usage tiers and slowly upgrade as it proves it can be trusted to continue the work.
It looks like they wanted to kill most of the reverse engineering by cutting down on low effort recomps. It had got to the point where people who knew nothing of coding were recompiling major games just by throwing tokens at it. I'm neither condemning nor supporting it, just reporting.
Someone on Reddit made a good point. Even a short fence stops most people from treading on your lawn.
In other words, people who try to divide and conquer recompilations will likely still succeed... for now.
