Hello Community,
For the past day or so, I used the new Opus 4.6. I admit i was excited in the beginning to see new heights, but tonight I have decided to run /model claude-opus-4-5-20251101 and revert back to the previous model.
The main reason is that doing something that does not deviate from my normal usage, I burned through the usage way too fast for the improved quality. Yes, I can see a bit better results (mind me, I have a
very structured
approach to using CC) but I cannot justify 24% in 24 hours of work on Max 20x.
While everyone seems to be looking for the latest model, I like to balance good quality (and Opus 4.5 has it) with an organised way of working and a balanced use of tokens. Opus 4.6 is simply unsustainable at the moment.
Anyone else feeling the same?
