this is how i felt about opus 4.6 i still use it it's just faster and does enough to be super helpful. i've used these later anthropic ones a few times but the word salad and slowness feels like it just opens the door to building shit that just stacks and adds on itself.

if deepseek and stuff are 4.6 caliber i literally don't know why im here i should probably just go sign up for openrouter at this point
