Fun fact: The highly acclaimed Opus 4.6 has quietly increased in price by nearly 3 times Saw a benchmark test done by an expert on L-site: currently 4.6 write cache price is $15, 4.7 is only $3. Before 4.7 was released, 4.6 was priced around $5-6. If that's the case, the most cost-effective combination currently is to assign programming tasks to 4.7 and writing tasks to 4.6 (4.7 feels like it doesn't speak human language, and its LiveBench score is even worse than 4.5😂) https://t.co/5GAj5fJfQK

Fun fact: The acclaimed Opus 4.6 has quietly nearly tripled in price.

I came across a benchmark test from a big shot on the L community — currently, 4.6’s write cache price is $15, while 4.7 is only $3. Before 4.7 came out, 4.6 was around $5–6.

Given this, the most cost-effective combo right now is: coding tasks go to 4.7, writing tasks go to 4.6 (4.7 tends to be overly formal and unnatural, and its LiveBench score is even worse than 4.5 😂). https://t.co/5GAjf5jfQK
