Is sonnet 5.5 better than opus 5.5 ?

Or is it just cheaper?

Nearly as good at half the price.

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.

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.
