I suspect they use the LLM for help with text editing, rather than give it standalone tasks. For that purpose a model with 'thinking' would just get in the way.

Opus is pretty overkill sometimes. I use Sonnet by default. Haiku if I have clearer picture of what I'm trying to solve. Opus only when I notice any of the models struggle. All 4.5 though. Not sure why 3.7. Curious about that too.

speed > thinking longer for smaller tasks.

I misremembered :(

4.5 Sonnet, but because I've been stuck on 3.7 Sonnet for so long due to corporate policy I wrote the wrong thing.

And yeah corporate policy. Opus is not available. I prefer Codex for my personal coding but I have not needed to look in the Git history here yet.
