Exactly double the cost of GPT 5.4 - $5 per MTok input, $0.50 cached, $30 output. All the AI players definitely seem to be trying to claw more money out of their users at the moment.
https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-5.5-pro 30/180 usd on Openrouter. Did I miss something?
Either Opus 4.7 miscounts reasoning tokens, or it's A LOT more efficient than GPT 5.5
I thought they made GPT 5.5 more token efficient than 5.4, but it uses 2x the reasoning tokens.

That’s actually crazy, what kind of task is that? And is that a recurring kind of task like some analysis, or coding related?
Coding (along with docs, tests obviously), rewriting a huge chunk of the KVM hypervisor (in Kernel 7, started in the -rc2) and KSM and other modules, can't say too much about it yet (might do an announcement in coming weeks) . The coding is automated but the plan took days of manual arguing (with all models possible) prior (while doing other things during waiting times as I currently manage 70 repos for an upcoming r…

gemma4-e4b is 50% better than gemma4-26b in your benchmark, something's wrong
Yes those two models were tested on my own PC (local inference using my own CPU/GPU). So something my be bugged on my setup. gemma4-26b should be far better than gemma4-e4b.
They all roughly produce junior developer-level code, continue to have mental breakdowns in their “thinking” stage, occasionally hallucinate things, delete pieces of code/docs they don’t understand or don’t like, use 1.5 times the necessary words to explain things when generating docs and so on.
I'm now testing "avoid sycophancy, keep details short and focus on the facts" in my AGENTS.md files.
Gave it two very long-running problems I haven't had the courage to work on in the last 2.5 years, solved each within an hour.
- An incremental streaming JSON decoder that can optionally take a list of keys to stop decoding after. 1800 LOC about 30 minutes later, and now my local-first apps first sync time is 0.8s instead of 75s when there's 1.5 GB of data locally.
- Flutter Web can compile to WASM and then render via Skia WASM. I've been getting odd crashes during rapid animation for months. In an hour, it got Skia WASM checked out, building locally, a Flutter test script, and root caused the issue to text shadows and font glyphs (technically, not solved yet, I want to get to the point we have Skia / Flutter patch(es))
If you told me a week ago that an LLM could do either of these, without heavy guidance, I'd be stunned. And I regularly push them to limits, ex. one of Opus' last projects was a tolerant JSON decoder, and it ended up being 8% faster than the one built-in to Dart/Flutter, which has plenty of love and attention. (we're cheating a little, that's why it's faster. TL;DR: LLMs will emit control characters in JSON and that's fine for me, treating them as fine means file edit error rates go from ~2% to 0%)
I just wish it was cheaper, but, don't we all...
I don't see any meaningful performance improvements in those paid models anymore.

The doctor would be responsible for the accuracy of their translation tool, something they can't verify but you expect them to use?
What's the alternative then ? -> You are in China, you go to emergency, nobody speaks your language Move hands ? DeepSeek is better than using hands, even Baidu Translate, ChatGPT or whatever you find. Other solutions are theoretically nice on paper but almost delusional. An imperfect solution is better than no solution. == Similarly, a deaf-person is theorically better with a certified interpreter that can talk with…

This is snark. Since when has a junior level dev managed to debug and deploy say a cloudformation stack and follow up with notes under 3 minutes?
AI is like having the greatest developer who ever lived, but she is always on 4 beers.
