opus 4.6 was going to be sonet 5 up until week of release. The price bump is even bigger than you realize because they don't let you run opus 4.6 at full speed unless you pay them an extra 10x for the new "fast mode"

If that's true, it would be surprising; the current Sonnet 4.6 is not in the same league as either Opus 4.5 or 4.6, either anecdotally or on benchmarks.

  • why is that surprising?

    • Because Opus 4.6 is better than 4.5. So if it's true that Sonnet 5 was so good they gave it the Opus name, does that mean there was an Opus upgrade that didn't pan out? And what is Sonnet 4.6? An upgraded Haiku? Just trying to follow the red yarn in the conspiracy board here.
