Opus 4.8 reportedly nails a simple biology question that 5.6 Sol xhigh misses

A reply claims a simple biology question is something a 5.6 Sol xhigh model fails on, while Opus 4.8 answers it perfectly.
The post frames the task as basic reasoning — something explainable to a non-biology audience in 30 seconds and suitable for an upper-level undergraduate class — and uses that contrast to highlight a sharp model-quality gap on an apparently easy question.
