Cool maybe this makes the 20$ sub less of a joke. I deemed 5.0 unworthy of spending time fighting with and personally considered it by far the worst release of 2026 by either of the two major labs(promising model, but obviously not even close to ready for the general public).

So for that 20$ tier for the entire summer and into fall, i was on their 2nd class public model(4.8) released in May. Not surprisingly it became my grunt model, doing the simple work. By far the least I've used Anthropic models in the last 2 years.
