"Comparable" is doing some heavy lifting there. Comparable to Anthropic models in 1H'25, maybe.
Benchmarks suggests they are comparable: https://artificialanalysis.ai/?models=claude-opus-4-6-adapti...
But let's say for the sake of discussion Opus is much better - still doesn't justify the price disparity especially when considering that other models are provided by commercial inference providers and anthropics is inhouse.
