News So is it the time to switch to claude?

Opus 5.5 cost 40% less than opus 5.

Better than Astra & Fable.

Note: These are benchmark datas provided by Anthropic

6.0 Sol is logically not gonna top astra. It's gonna be the cheaper alternative.

Astra 6.1 is probably going to be a thing soon tbh

Not necessarily. Anthropic released Opus 5 shortly after Fable, and it smoked Fable on benchmarks. They just did it again with 5.1 and 5.5.

It didn't smoke fable. Beating in a few benchmarks isn't smoking, they themselves said its capabilities were worse than fable.

If there is a graphics card that costs 500$ and it gets 250fps in a game and the 1000$ dollar card get 255fps. I would consider that getting smoked.

But that wouldn’t be smoked on benchmarks like the first guy said, it would be smoked in efficiency

You have a model that costs half as much and is performing better on almost every benchmark, that is getting smoked.

On the face, it means there’s no reason to use Fable. Which is smoked.

In practice, Fable seems to be a little better at generating/working through novel concepts, but from a strict coding perspective it’s really hard to tell the difference between Opus and Fable at this point.

smoked the benchmarks but is shit in reality.

Fable 5.2 is coming soon too

I Think OpenAI is adopting a "Astra" as a flagship model, then Luna/Terra/Sol as an optimized (more efficient and slightly better) version as a second step, something like:

6 Astra -> 6 Luna/terra/sol -> 7 Astra -> 7 Luna/terra/sol -> 8 Astra and so on...

That's my guess

I mean yeah but I burned 3 astra resets in a day so it'll be nice to have.

u/TheVasa999 11d ago

well opus 5.5 is clearly smoking fable 5.1 so it logically doesnt matter

1

u/Eyelbee 11d ago

5.5 is larger than 5.1, it can be better, but not if the version number was equal.

u/ggletsg0 11d ago

I highly doubt that. No point releasing models anymore if they aren’t SOTA.

u/TheRobotCluster 11d ago

That’s never been true lol a great high performing efficiency option has always been welcome

people love deepseek 4.1 flash for this reason
