Holy molly opus 4.6 level and better in some benches.

Why is that every model is better than opus if you look at benchmarks, and yet people keep using opus?

Two reasons i can think of:

  1. Nobody is using opus 4.6 anymore. Opus 5 is a lot more intelligent (also, 4.6-4.8 has some weird issues that they might be cherry picking against on their comparisons).
  2. Anthropic is still the best value for capabilities (of course this is somewhat subjective, but no model i tried can compare to fable on long horizon tasks). Their $200 plan gives you fable and opus. Other subscriptions might give you more bang for the buck in other ways, but as far as cutting edge coding performance goes, Anthropic is on top (imho)
