I'd be happy with Opus 4.6 just cheaper and maybe a bit faster

I've noticed my bar for "fast" has gone down quite a bit since the o1 days. It used to be one of the main things I evaluated new models for, but I've almost completely swapped to caring more about correctness over speed.

		Yeah I don't mind the current speed of Opus I did give up on OpenCode Go (GLM 5) as it was noticeably slower though You need a reasonable pace for the chit-chat stages of a task, I don't care if the execution then takes a while

It won't get cheaper. It will be replaced with a better model at higher price. Like phones.

		You know we have cheaper and faster model that are now at the level of previous flagship models? You even have models you can run locally that outperform models from a year or so ago.

		Open Weight alternatives are about 2 years behind frontier models. You'll still need a top-of-the-line laptop to run it most likely.
