And as a bonus: GPT is slow. I’m doing a lot of RE (IDA Pro + MCP), even when 5.4 gives a little bit better guesses (rarely, but happens) - it takes x2-x4 longer. So, it’s just easier to reiterate with Opus

Yeah, need some good RE benchmarks for the LLMs. :)
RE is very interesting problem. A lot more that SWE can be RE'd. I've found the LLMs are reluctant to assist, though you can workaround.
What is RE in this context?
Reverse engineering
I've been messing with using Claude, Codex, and Kimi even for reverse engineering at https://decomp.dev/ it's a ton of fun. Great because matching bytes is a scoring function that's easy for the models to understand and make progress on.
I want to get into RE with AI. Which model you liking the most?
Mind sharing the use cases you're using IDA via MCP for?
This. People drastically underestimate how much more useful a lightning fast slightly dumb model is compared to a super smart but mega slow model is. Sure, u may need to bust out the beef now and then. However, the overwhelming majority of work the fast stupid model is a better fit.
