> Man what a showcase for Opus this is.

I take it you mean this Opus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format)) not that Opus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_(AI)).

I read almost all the way through your comment thinking there was a decent probability you were saying this new AAC encoder was written with Claude Opus.

I've never been AI guy, and have more fascination with audio. I've long stopped being excited when I read "Opus" on HN. It's refreshing when it turns out to be the audio codec.

To be fair, Opus was never a great name. I always feel the need to specify further when using it outside of a clear context of music codecs (also way before Claude was announced). Love it in every other way though

No, he was talking about the Opus Dei because this code quality can only be reached by God himself /jk
