I feel like I'm going to have to try the next model. For a few cycles yet. My opinion is that Opus 4.7 is performing worse for my current work flow, but 4.6 was a significant step up, and I'd be getting worse results and shipping slower if I'd stuck with 4.5. The providers are always going to swear that the latest is the greatest. Demis Hassabis recently said in an interview that he thinks the better funded projects will continue to find significant gains through advanced techniques, but that open source models figure out what was changed after about 6 months or so. We'll see I guess. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to settle down with one model and I'd love it to be something I could self host for free.
