What's refreshing about it given the context that 4.7 was a regression in many ways (including as measured by benchmarks)?
4.8 is also 2x more expensive for a "modest" performance bump. How refreshing.
This is just cope.

Where are you seeing it's 2x more expensive? https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing
Don’t measure model cost by token price. Measure based on tokens used to achieve a task.
Others report in this thread that it’s about 2x more expensive due to outputs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48312774
Price hasn’t changes at all, though.
Token price doesn't mean much and is also manipulated to show false affordability. Look at price per task.
