Yeah that was an interesting discovery in a development meeting. Many people were chasing after the next best model and everything, though for me, Sonnet 4.6 solves many topics in 1-2 rounds. I mainly need some focus on context, instructions and keeping tasks well-bounded. Keeping the task narrow also simplifies review and staying in control, since I usually get smaller diffs back I can understand quickly and manage or modify later.

I'll look at the new models, but increasing the token consumptions by a factor of 7 on copilot, and then running into all of these budget management topics people talk about? That seems to introduce even more flow-breakers into my workflow, and I don't think it'll be 7 times better. Maybe in some planning and architectural topics where I used Opus 4.6 before.
