Account scaling01 posted an unverified comparison between Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 and OpenAI Sol 6.1:
- Claims Opus 5.5 max clearly beats Sol 6.1 max, and Opus 5.5 medium roughly matches Sol 6.1 max.
- At API prices, Opus 5.5 medium costs 1.8x more but is 3x faster per task.
- On same-priced subscription plans, Opus 5.5 medium completes 3x as many tasks, since Claude plans include 5.6x more usage.
The poster also mocked OpenAI's Tibo as an overly cocky "secretary of propaganda." All figures are speculation about unreleased models, not official data.
