Astro Polo(@astropol0):Anthropic has no choice but to drop Sonnet 5.5 soon..... gemini 3.7 Flash is putting real pressure on them.. Google's new model is already matching or beating Claude Sonnet 5 on key coding benchmarks like Code Arena WebDev and FrontierCode while costing less than half the price Cognition (the team behind Devin) also confirmed Gemini 3.7 Flash reaches Sonnet 5 level performance on their real coding evals just much cheaper for high volume coding and agent work the price to performance gap is becoming hard to ignore... tho sonnet 5 is still solid in some areas but Anthropic can’t sit on this for long.... Sonnet 5.5 feels inevitable at this point
