I'd be happy with Opus 4.6 just cheaper and maybe a bit faster

I've noticed my bar for "fast" has gone down quite a bit since the o1 days. It used to be one of the main things I evaluated new models for, but I've almost completely swapped to caring more about correctness over speed.

  • Yeah I don't mind the current speed of Opus

    I did give up on OpenCode Go (GLM 5) as it was noticeably slower though

    You need a reasonable pace for the chit-chat stages of a task, I don't care if the execution then takes a while

Just wait 2 years.

  • It won't get cheaper. It will be replaced with a better model at higher price. Like phones.

    • You know we have cheaper and faster model that are now at the level of previous flagship models?

      You even have models you can run locally that outperform models from a year or so ago.
