I find it helpful when you post your link that compares the model to other models in the same class or family, or shows progression over time.
The pelicans all start to look the same after a while.
But seeing the comparison to other models by class, family, or historical progression gives an excellent frame of reference.
Good call, I've edited my comment.
Here's the Haiku 4.5 pelican from a year ago - it sucked in comparison to Haiku 5.5: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/15/claude-haiku-45/
How does Haiku 5.5 compare with modern alts in its class, like Luna-6 or OSS models of similar speed/cost?
You can browse through other models here - Haiku is doing pretty well now compared to Luna et al: https://simonwillison.net/tags/pelican-riding-a-bicycle/
