Opus 4.5 is 2x cheaper and 2x better relative to Sonnet in reality. A quick demo (playcode.io)

Hi HN, I use sonnet 4.5 every day a lot like $2500 per month and it turned out that Opus 4.5 even better, much better and cheaper.It is unbelievable. How come? It spends less tokens, like it’s more smart to use less context.


Why aren't you on the max "unlimited" plan for $200/month? Even with the limits it has, you'd need 12.5 of those accounts to hit $2,500/month.


And I'm already on this maximum/ultra/super/duper plan, and this plan is not unlimited, as they say, it's all a lie. In reality, they just give you a few more included tokens for this price—that's all the unlimited. After that, it goes on demand, and simply spending money.


No way I would create such a realistic demo without it.


It doesn't have the right sproinginess feel, imo.


Sacrifices style over function in my opinion.
