Claude Opus 4.1

This likely won't move the needle for Opus use over Sonnet while the cost remains the same. Using OpenRouter rankings (https://openrouter.ai/rankings) as a proxy, Sonnet 3.7 and Sonnet 4 combined generates 17x more tokens than Opus 4.

All three major labs released something within hours of each other. This anime arc is insane.

I'm confused by how Opus is presented to be superior in nearly every way for coding purposes yet the general consensus and my own experience seem to be that Sonnet is much much better. Has anyone switched to entirely using Opus from Sonnet? Or maybe switching to Opus for certain things while using Sonnet for others?
