Looking at intelligence vs cost:
- Opus 5 is 10% smarter than Grok 4.5 for 10x the cost. - Opus 5 is a bit smarter than Gpt 5.6 Sol for 2.75x the cost

I assume 100 is the max, meaning it's impossible to be 2x as smart as Muse Spark 1.1
A useful measure of real world cost (complementary with total cost like they already report, of course) would be "cost for correct answers". You could look at the ratio between the two costs to get a measure of laziness which many would find quite useful.
It did far better at some tasks compared to Sol (e.g. the ARC 3 benchmark). And at those tasks, it's not just "a bit smarter": It got 30% vs less than 8% - so you're talking 2.75x more for almost 4x the coverage.
There’s also the frustration of it not quite being enough sometimes. It’s extremely capable, but I still find that it needs more concrete guidance and boundaries than other models.
If you don't believe checking the opt-out box actually opts you out, then this sentence could be said about literally any provider.
