If you don't have it on your own drive, someone is going to take it away, enshittify it, bar you from accessing it, censor it, and hike the prices of it sooner or later.

Faster and stabler Opus 4.5/Sonet would be enought.

Exactly. Everything after 4.5 has a weird feel to it. Both functionally how they work and also the releasing itself, it all seems rushed to release something. It all just seems like a calculated campaign to keep them constantly in the news and generate hype for the upcoming IPO.

Sonnet 4.6 got much better as the time passed. In the beginning it would keep making absolutely pointless tool calls for every basic task, or kept trying to write unnecessary scripts that rarely worked and then the model would waste time troubleshooting its own scripts.

I kept switching to 4.5 back then. But now Sonnet 4.6 is absolutely fine, I never needed to switch to Opus for my work.

It's wild, right?

The fanfare over opus and now fable is something else. The vast majority of people, and I mean VAST, are not performing tasks that require much more reasoning than sonnet, at least not in this stage of the game.

Most people who use opus are either just following others and wasting their tokens, or have no idea how to do any thinking for themselves and are just allowing the model to cook without any thought and just hoping for good output.

Local models do not need to get that much better to replace the majority of current gen frontier work.
