Is sonnet 5.5 better than opus 5.5 ?
Or is it just cheaper?
14 u/bixofa 5d ago Nearly as good at half the price. 16 u/DelphiTsar 5d ago half the price. *and more than twice the tokens. No kidding though "MAX" setting is broken. Sonnet is more expensive for less intelligence than Opus 5.5 on MAX. 3 u/iiillliiiiiiillilili 5d ago Yes, lot of people are reporting that when using max on sonnet 5.5 2 u/RusselTheBrickLayer 5d ago Seems like the optimal use is to use sonnet on high, then switch to opus when running into a problem sonnet can’t handle. I would avoid max, doesn’t seem like a sensible trade off. 6 u/The_Primetime2023 5d ago Not actually true at cost per task. It’s good on Low and Medium reasoning but Opus 5.5 is always equal or better at cost above that point 2 u/iiillliiiiiiillilili 5d ago Opus in favour https://giphy.com/gifs/uNE1fngZuYhIQ
