UGH why are they killing this model? This is one of the best models you can use in an API for a large swath of tasks. It's kind of the perfect trifecta of fast, cheap, and smart enough.

- cyanydeez 3mo agobecause they keep these models loaded, and they can't just arbitrarily load up whatever models you want. but it's more likely just a business case: they need you buying higher tier model output. They know whose doing what, so someone needs their 3Q bonus.
- Wowfunhappy 3mo agoI was going to reply that Anthropic, which supposedly is the most capacity constrained of the leading AI labs, still provides access to models as old as Opus 3. But then I realized Opus 3 is an outlier, and Anthropic has removed access to relatively more recent models. https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/model-depre... I wonder what the deal is with Opus 3.
