Opus 4 & 4.1 are still on Vertex+Bedrock @ $75/1mm out. They were used very heavily and in my subjective opinion are better than 4.5 and 4.6.

- breakingcups 7mo agoInteresting, what makes them better to you?
- adi_kurian 7mo agoOpus 4, with enough context, could do most all I wanted in a single shot. More often than not, when I had a bad outcome and was frustrated I would realize that I was the problem (in giving improper direction or missing key context). I also was in a pretty sweet position having a boat load of credits and premo vertex rate limits so I could 'afford' to dump hundreds of thousands of tokens in context all day. With Opus 4.5 and 4.6, I find I have to steer very actively. This is comparing using Opus 4 directly rather than comparing the performance of the models in Claude Code for example, or any 'agentic' setup. Kinda reminds me of 4o vs 4-turbo. I would imagine they are smaller models.
