I don't know where the author gets his information. The GPT-5 is not on par with Claude Opus.

It's still cheaper than Sonnet, but certainly not by 10x. Sonnet, arguably, is still better than GPT-5, although not by much and not in all circumstances.

I read analysis that GPT-5 is better at debugging (super important) and following exact instructions (many people don't quite know what they are asking for anyway, so this could be counter-productive in many cases).

So no, OpenAI did not burn the boats...

(Ok, this is for coding only. I have no information on other uses.)

Same place that told them parking was free at Disney?

Yeah parking is $30/day at the theme parks: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/parking/
The citation is right there in the article:

Nice. I seem to have missed this particular citation. :-)
