So tldr it seems like it's

- a reasonable improvement over sonnet 4.5, esp. with agentic tool use

- generally worse than opus 4.6

Probably not worth it for coding, but a win for anybody building agentic ai assistants of any sort with Sonnet.

It’s similar to or better than Opus 4.5 as per benchmarks, while being 2x-3x cheaper, definitely worth it over Opus 4.6, if cost/tokens is the concern.

To remind, Opus 4.5 was SOTA 2-3 weeks ago.

Yes but Opus 4.6 is a massive step up. Some applications don’t need that power though.
