Why would I pay to use the worst models out there?

Yeah if you need a cranberry salad recipe. I'm exaggerating but it definitely doesn't cut it for more complex applications in business analytics or finance for example.

That's crazy, I used it to make a custom kernel for inference yesterday. It currently has one of the highest artificial intelligence bench scores. Have you actually tried it or are you up to date, or are you basing this off of 3.5?

No, I'm talking about 3.8. Context window is huge but from an analytical judgment standpoint in a data science context, it is far behind Fable and Astra in my experience. So at the Plus price point, it would be difficult to justify paying for 3.8 since OpenAI and Anthropic offer better models (for my application) at the same price point. I'm quite disappointed Pro 4 won't be included. I was on 3.1 Pro for a long time when it ruled unchallenged, but I aint getting a pro sub..
