theHocineSaadon iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

My iPhone 14 Pro already does everything I need. Honestly, I can't see what a newer phone could possibly do for me that this one doesn’t.

theHocineSaadon Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber

As of writing this comment, Claude Opus 5 has an intelligence score of 63, not 59 (it's not the same as Gemini 3.8 Flash).

With a score of 59, Gemini 3.8 Flash is in eighth place, falling behind even Grok 4.6, Kimi k3, and GLM 5.3.

This is interesting, especially if the data doesn't change much.

theHocineSaadon Claude Opus 5

Opus 5 is considered the most intelligent model[0], while it's half the price of Fable 5[1], and Anthropic is still positioning Fable 5 as the most capable model[2].

Is it because maybe Anthropic engineered Opus 5 to work well on benchmarks and didn't do the same thing to Fable 5, or is there another reason?

Okay, but what has changed?

theHocineSaadon Claude Sonnet 5

What's interesting is that Claude Sonnet 5 costs more per task ($2.29) than Opus 4.8 ($1.80), while the latter is obviously better!

It actually costs more per task than every other model. It's only cheaper than Claude Fable 5.
