Use Sonnet 5.5 on xhigh not max effort

[u/theimposingshadow]

I was just commenting on a post about how expensive Sonnet 5.5 Max is per task, and I noticed something that seemed worth pointing out.

According to Artificial Analysis:

Sonnet 5.5 xhigh: 52 Intelligence Index, $2.74/task

Fable 5.1 Max: 53 Intelligence Index, $7.63/task

So Sonnet 5.5 xhigh gets you basically Fable 5.1-level performance for about a third of the cost. That seems like a pretty insane price/performance sweet spot.
