Opus 4.1 was for ~all purposes bested by sonnet 4.5 on release. Will the same be true of opus 4.5, upon sonnet 5’s release, for power users who don't concern themselves with the model cost to any significant degree?

Update 2026-01-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Market specifically refers to Sonnet 5 only (not 4..6, 4.7, 4.75, or other version numbers)
- If Sonnet 5 is not the next Anthropic release, resolves N/A
- If Sonnet 5 is released after March 2026, resolves N/A

What did he mean by this

“for power users who don't concern themselves with the model cost to any significant degree?”

Hmmmm this feels a little subjective, but I know what you mean.

i know many a person that would pay for max 20x even if it was 3x the price. I roughly mean that kind of person

@Bayesian Right, the people who would care about costs would be the ones more likely to say, “Opus 4.5 is better, but I use Sonnet 5.0 more often because of the price point.”

But roughly speaking you want to know if Sonnet 5.0 overall is better even if Opus 4.5 were the same price as Sonnet?
