So far, each release of a new model is quite better than the last one, yes, but non of them lived up to the hype.

I would argue that Opus 4.6 lived up to the hype. My work changed completely a couple months ago, and most other coders I talk to say the same.

  • This was due to Claude Code the agent harness. 4.6 was trained to use tools and operate in an agent environment. This is different from there being a huge bump in the underlying model's intelligence.

    The takeaway here I think is that the "breakthrough" already happened and we can't extrapolate further out from it.
