How are you supporting the claim that GPT 5.6 is "far more token efficient" than Opus 5? Tokens equal, output is cheaper for Opus 5 ($25/1M) than GPT-5.6-Sol ($30/1M), and it seems to outperform slightly on agentic coding benchmarks. | ||

The first chart in the blog post shows a similar $/performance curve to GPT 5.6. Where 5.6 has optionality to run much cheaper along the same performance curve at lower thinking levels. There's a later chart that shows Opus 5 ahead, but seems like an esoteric benchmark rather than for common use. (Novel problem solving) If they had a more efficient model at coding they would lead with that chart. | ||

Here is one data point for cost: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models?cost=intelligence-vs-co... Here is another data point for output token efficiency: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models?cost=intelligence-vs-co... | ||

Token cost and token efficiency are two unrelated metrics, and anyways what really matters is neither in isolation - it's cost to complete a task. | ||
