Well, it is a Sonnet model, it is indeed better[0] than Sonnet 4.6 (smarter, faster, cheaper), but I don't see why would you use it as opposed to Opus 4.8 low or GLM-5.2...

What's interesting, is that Sonnet 5 is actually worse[0] than 4.6 without reasoning.
It makes some sense, as models are trained more and more with reasoning, than without.
