Yeah I'm using 5 for its technical abilities, but I much preferred 4.6's personality. 5 loved to double check everything, including the double-checks, and I have to stop it and tell it "this is irrelevant" or "this is out of scope" all the time, or sometimes I'll go leave it to do a task and come back and it's still verifying the tiniest details of its assumptions before actually doing anything

Have you tried Sol? Just curious. I don’t wanna sound like a shill, just feels like every generation it’s important to reevaluate models and pick the best again.

I do find myself returning to 4.6 for casual conversation - asking it to help explain some science/engineering or news to me.

4.6 is the last great model from Anthropic. If one isn't greedy and hype-driven, the benefits are clear.
