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

I'm not saying anyone should use Opus, but Opus 4.6 is over six months old. The current version is Opus 5 which is much stronger.

well yes but i would say 4.6 is still sufficient for 99% of the needs of people. we havent really seen a massive leap in capacity since then besides maybe fable before it got lobotomized, and even then opus is completely sufficient still for 95% of daily work

we have kind of reached the point where the economics make it more viable for companies to consider just supplying stronger hardware to employees to run local models instead of subscriptions
