Opus is big, because it gave people the first taste of what post-GPT-4 capabilities look like. For one, its a major improvement in coding, and a gigantic leap in creative writing abilities, going from high schooler writing to professional prose. Like all the chatbot addicts have once again swapped their addiction to Opus now. Clearly LLMs are not even close to peaking yet. Its also sad how awful Gemini is. Gemini 1.0 Ultra is clearly not noticeably better than GPT-4 turbo despite a year's head start. Google is therefore not even going to release Gemini 1.0 Ultra API, instead going back to the oven to train 1.5 Ultra.
