I love how we generally hear very little from Anthropic and don't have to deal with the constant hype. And they still have the preferred coding model despite its age. Looking forward to this release. Hope it will be a good one!
They have the preferred model for almost anything that reasoning isn't a perfect fit for, and even on those tasks only O1 wins consistently, for >10x pricing and latency.
Even for reasoning-beneficial tasks you can just CoT Sonnet and it works well, just yesterday I had a task's performance strongly improved by it.
