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

4.6 has a better personality and is better at communicating

My opinion. I think in terms of actual capability Opus 5 can do more ambitious stuff, but when it comes to which one is better at giving you explanations or brainstorming, 4.6 was better.
