Sol 6 is like opus 5.

A user on Reddit suggests that "Sol 6 is like opus 5," implying a pattern where models are intentionally "dumbed down." This strategy, according to the user, makes subsequent models appear as significant upgrades. The user further speculates that after selling numerous subscriptions, including the 200 plan which was so popular it had to be capped, the company might be reducing computational resources by using these "bad models."

This post suggests a pattern of intentionally "dumbing down" AI models, unlike typical upgrade cycles that focus on continuous improvement.
