yep, ran a controlled experiment on 28 tasks comparing old opus 4.6 vs new opus 4.6 vs 4.7, and found that 4.7 is comparable in cost to old 4.6, and ~20% more expensive then new 4.6 (because new 4.6 is thinking less)

So they nerfed 4.6 to make way for 4.7?

Progress. /s

pretty much, lmao. my theory is 4.6 started thinking less to save compute for 4.7 release. but who knows what's going on at anthropic

A fun conspiracy theory I have is that Mythos isn’t actually dangerous in any serious sense. They just can’t reliably serve a 10T model. So they have to make up a reason to limit customers.
