> I’ve been using Anthropic models exclusively for the last month on a large, realistic codebase, and I can count the number of times I needed to use Opus on one hand. Most of the time, Haiku is fine. About 10% of the time I splurge for Sonnet, and honestly, even some of those are unnecessary.

I mean at some point some people learn...

I was doing Opus for nasty stuff or otherwise at most planning and then using Sonnet to execute.

Buuuuut I'm dealing with a lot of nonstandard use cases and/or sloppy codebases.

Also, at work, Haiku isn't an enabled model.

But also, if I or my employer are paying for premium requests, then they should be served appropriately.

As it stands this announcement smells of "We know our pricing was predatory and here is the rug pull."

My other lesser worry isn't that Opus 4.7 has a 7.5x multi, it's that the multiplier is quoted as an 'introductory' rate.
