I use sonnet as a smart grep and haiku never and that’s only when I have to use Anthropic at all

Sonnet and Haiku were already in an awkward spot, likely by design.

Anthropic's big marketing push this year has been entirely focused on getting people to use Opus via a Claude Code subscription, to the point that Sonnet is almost viewed as the poor man's alternative, and from what I've seen, almost nobody uses it.

Actually, here's an interesting project for all the vibe coders looking for their next front page post: scrape a ton of commits from GitHub with Co-Authored-By: Claude and figure out what the percentage split between Opus/Fable/Sonnet is. I'm willing to bet it's less than 10% Sonnet.

Luna is comparable to Haiku, not Sonnet.
