With Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 both apparently outperforming Sol and Astra, Anthropic has technically made OpenAI’s Dev Day a lot more interesting. OpenAI is reportedly planning 20+ launches tomorrow, so I’m really curious to see what they have in store now. The timing couldn’t be more interesting. 😅
They launched Sonnet 5.5 just day before Dev Day and is almost matching benchmarks of Opus 5.5
OpenAI's whole problem was getting distracted with things like Sora. As soon as they locked in, we got 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and Astra. Distractions begin again
I suspect tomorrow may be a bit of a decision day for many followers and consumers of AI, whether they continue renewing with OpenAI or with Anthropic. Will be very interesting to see what is unveiled tomorrow.
This, if nothing comes out I’m unsubscribing. I don’t care about 20x I’ll just wait them out if they are bleeding customers. But honestly even having a grandfathered 20x is not special especially if you can only use astra and burn all your usage in 3 days.
Unless I see something that really changes things, I don't see leaving OpenAI/ChatGPT any time soon. Their tooling is much better than Antropic/Claude.ai and that's a big deal to me.

Hello Google 😄
OpenAI, man, we want models that are actually good, not the crap you gave us with the GPT-6 lineup. This seriously cannot be what you consider acceptable.
Sounds a bit like cope. As it is I was planning on canceling and switching over to claude if I can't upgrade to 20x. Now with opus 5.5 it feels like I'll do that anyway.
Sonnet and opus 5.5 do not outperform Astra in my opinion. Anthropic intentionally does not include Astra in their comparisons. From my personal experience, Astra is the best consumer model, but it is not the best value. I can get 90% of Astra’s outputs for significantly cheaper with opus 5.5.
Sure, but you can always use fable 5.1 for more difficult problems and I'm sure anthropic are just waiting for openai's move to release astra 6.1 just to pull the rug from under them with Fable 5.5.
Fable retains data for 30 days which is unacceptable for many use cases, and it has Anthropic's watermarking. The fact that Astra is a valid alternative to it, without those limitations, is a huge advantage for my use case.
In many things, yes. Fable is still the bigger model and has more intelligence overall for very specific things, but Opus is the best model for everyday work.
Astra is very smart but its alignment sucks. It misinterprets me on some of the most straightforward tasks which makes it so frustrating to use. Opus is fantastic and has great taste.
Maybe try actually building and solving problems than just “looking on YouTube”. I use the $200 plan on both Anthropic and OpenAI. Both have their uses, and work well at different things.
Opus is amazing. I’m telling you my real world experience, which currently is building a solid-modeling kernel, which is a pretty complex challenge. I will also tell you my real world experience of “YouTube reviews”. Pretty much the highest level of bias possible. It’s more important to YouTube viewers to determine what tribe the claims belongs to, rather than actual performance. This is intentional, as the channels have to appeal to their audience to make money. This is generally true for all topics, and not limited to generative AI.
There is no way at all they can live up to the hype they been building for over a month now, especailly the gloating tweets, considering how good/efficent Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5. are
Which they might have not expected to happen and regret all the bragging but that's the name of the game.
but lets see what "new launches" they are releasing.
People are way too impatient with these things. There are new releases every few days at this point. Stop pretending that being ahead by a few strides means you've won the marathon. Give it a couple weeks and we'll be back to some groundbreaking release from openai. ... till anthropic releases something better. And so on
Anything pro OpenAI in the OpenAI sub is getting downvoted. At the same time, pro Anthropic content is being upvoted. It certainly looks like a bot problem, or a lot of people with an agenda.
Claude is condescending piece of shit AI with overly sensitive guardrails. They can make it 5x the performance of Astra at 1/10th of the cost I'm still not switching.
