i did some digging into Opus 5.5 vs. GPT-6 sol benchmarks
opus = better quality
sol = 7.8x cheaper per task
if time matters, opus wins. if raw speed matters less, sol is much better value
though this probably affects usage credits more than subscriptions, since i still burn through codex limits way faster than CC
I hate model release day because the only thing I see is how everyone and their grandma got access to the latest and greatest frontier model before I did.
