I have been wondering whether Anthropic are just gaslighting everyone with new model releases while in reality it's just the same base model with some internal knobs tuned more and more up with every new release to provide longer and longer thinking threads and outputs.
My speculative assumption is that these long thinking threads and self-checking tend to produce somewhat better output at the price of huge price increases due to the token burn.
