> As for intelligence, the frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic are still superior

I'll grant they are superior at least right now. But also, they are too expensive.

We ($work) are finding that it is best to build engineering discipline around AI usage (who would've thought!) and use the cheaper models like Cursor Composer.

Using Opus we can blow through an entire month budget in an afternoon, so while more powerful, it is no longer practical except for rare very complex tasks.
