I’m curious what made you change your mind, perhaps seeing this getting traction on hn?
Not surprised that the rotten culture of unhelpful gatekeeping at Stack Exchange extended beyond stack overflow.
But let's say for the sake of discussion Opus is much better - still doesn't justify the price disparity especially when considering that other models are provided by commercial inference providers and anthropics is inhouse.
Commercial inference providers serve Chinese models of comparable quality at 0.1x-0.25x. I think Anthropic realised that the game is up and they will not be able to hold the lead in quality forever so it's best to switch to value extraction whilst that lead is still somewhat there.
