Why would anyone use Claude Sonnet 5?

Source: DeepSWE benchmark by Datacurve — deepswe.datacurve.ai I was comparing Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 at matched effort levels, and Opus scores higher at every tier, and it's cheaper at nearly all of them too. The important part is Sonnet's actually cheaper per token, but it takes way more steps and tokens to finish the tasks, so that's what makes it lose its price advantage. submitted by /u/GanacheValuable2310 [link] [comments]
