"You're right, and it's the exact thing I flagged two turns ago and then did anyway." - Opus 5 xhigh, today.

About the time.

The thing I'd actually want to know: is Opus 5.5 Medium genuinely equivalent to Astra High on real work...

I noticed a big speedup in Opus 5 on Max x20 since about 10 days ago, and I feel like the model has been performing better.

It would be great to know if this was Opus 5.5 or a lesser incremental improvement, as otherwise it's difficult to judge whether Opus 5.5 is expected to be a big improvement.

It's frustrating that there isn't more transparency here.

Tested it in the last few hours and it's MILES better than Opus 5. Finally the output is readable again!

Best cost for a good result on our MacBook Pro SVG benchmark.

Btw, we have added Opus 5.5 as default model to playcode.ai

Cost to Run Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index is higher than previous Opus, so still not cheaper

Why are there results for opus5.5 on arc-agi 1 and 2 but not 3?

Anthropic models are ridiculously expensive. I've stopped using any of their models months ago.
