This is exactly what people have been talking about in this thread.

Sonnet is dumber and more expensive than Opus.

The token efficiency improvements in Opus are missing in Sonnet. Sonnet generates more output tokens and more reasoning tokens.

Any price advantage per token disappears due to volume.

It doesn't make sense to use Sonnet if you have access to Opus.
