While I'm skeptical of any "beats opus" claims (many were said, none turned out to be true), I still think it's insane that we can now run close-to-SotA models locally on ~100k worth of hardware, for a small team, and be 100% sure that the data stays local. Should be a no-brainer for teams that work in areas where privacy matters.

It doesn't beat Opus 4.6, no way, don't be fooled by benchmarks.

Opus is clearly a sidegrade meant to help Anthropic manage cost, so I would say they may have it if it actually beats 4.6
