For my day to day tasks 4.6 feels sufficient.

I have limited enterprise budget and Claude 4.7 costs 7x more. So unless there's close to 7x improvement, it doesn't make sense to switch to 4.7.

I actually gave both 4.6 a really complex task. It kept on thinking for several minutes before I hit the brakes. I then gave 4.7 the same task, and didn't notice any difference in behavior. Clearly not worth the 7x premium.

I hope 4.6 becomes cheaper/free at some point because I'm starting to see a push towards optimizing token expenditures across the board. While frontier models are still the default for developing new workflows, everybody is starting to ask how to automate repetitive tasks without using tokens.
