Once again, once you hit the high/xhigh level you're better off using Opus low/medium to get better results for around the same price. So I suppose the main point of this release is that you have a lower end than Opus low, which I suppose some people will like?

Some tasks are reasoning shaped by nature and you can't just throw a big model at it.
