The author argues that for Opus 5 to be competitive, its pricing should align closely with Sonnet 4.6, rather than being priced as Sonnet 5.
They also point out that Sonnet 5 already consumes more tokens than Opus 4.8. Expanding on the competitive landscape, the author notes that while Anthropic has a strong research team, market competition is crucial; if OpenAI establishes a massive lead, the industry could become much less consumer-friendly.
