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.
