Ask HN: What are some of the use-cases of the frontier models's max mode?

Hacker News - Sat, 07/11/2026 - 8:47am

Recently ChatGPT released an Ultra mode, it's "highest-capability setting, coordinating multiple agents across parallel workstreams to finish complex tasks faster" on their latest flagship product Sol of GPT-5.6. Similarly, Claude Fable also has an Ultra setting.

I wonder what are primary workflows or use-cases this maximised modes are used for currently? In my average software development experience, I never had a need to go beyond the max mode or beyond Opus for example. Even in specific workflows, the model's capability rarely mattered as compared to the harnesses or the context.

Are there any specific industries (finance, lifescience, etc.) that uses these max modes regularly or for specific workflows? Curious to know if anyone's making use of these and would like to share how you're using it.

Show HN: Hidetext.sh – encrypted pastebin where the server never sees the key

Hacker News - Sat, 07/11/2026 - 8:24am

Hi HN! I built hidetext.sh — a way to share text, code, and files through links the server can't read.

How it works: your browser generates a random key and encrypts everything locally (NaCl secretbox, XSalsa20-Poly1305). Only ciphertext is uploaded. The key goes into the URL fragment — the part after # — which browsers never send to servers. The link carries the key, my server stores the locked box, and the two only meet in a browser.

A design detail I'm fairly happy with: burn-after-read doesn't destroy the paste on the first HTTP request. The naive version means a Slack or iMessage link preview "reads" your paste before the recipient ever opens it. Instead, the reader's tab sends a heartbeat, and the paste is deleted only once nobody is watching it anymore.

Being upfront about the limits (full page at hidetext.sh/how-it-works): you're trusting the JavaScript I serve — inherent to any browser-based E2E tool; filenames are stored in plaintext (contents aren't); and anyone holding the link can read the content, because the link is the key. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, IPs aren't stored.

Stack: Next.js static on Cloudflare Pages, Pages Functions, D1 for metadata, R2 for encrypted blobs.

It's free. I'd love feedback — especially on the threat model and anything you'd expect from a tool like this that's missing.
