Interesting to me that Opus 4.6 was described as forward looking. I haven't *really* paid attention, but after using 4.5 heavily for a month, the first greenfield project I gave Opus 4.6 resulted in it doing a web search for latest and greatest in the domain as part of the planning phase. It was the first time I'd seen it, and it stuck out enough that I'm talking about it now.
Probably confirmation bias, but I'm generally of the opinion that the models are basically good enough now to do great things in the context of the right orchestration and division of effort. That's the hard part, which will be made less difficult as the models improve.

I think this has always been the case. People regularly do not believe that I built and released an (albeit basic, check the release date - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blazingban...) android app using GPT3.5. What took me a week or two of wrangling and orchestrating the LLM and picking and choosing what to specifically work on can now be done in a single prompt to codex telling it to use subagents and worktrees.
