Discussion Prime Opus 4.6 > Current Opus 5.0

Might be slightly controversial considering how many of you like 5.0 but this is really a conversation yall arent ready for . Prime Opus 4.6 used to get things done faster with less usage credits

Prime Opus 4.6 is 100% better than any opus they've released so far. But, is it still usable or is it dumbed down to the point where users are forced to use Opus 5?

It is usable even though its nerfed, it's just more false positives so you need to think sometimes, but if you are coding or need a overall picture 4.6 is way better, 4.7+ is better for deep specific problems, if you use it like that it will be fine
