What do people get out of being so reductionist?
Every time a new model comes out, people come out in droves "oh I don't notice anything different".
People have been saying this about <currentModel-1> for 2 years now, and the entire state of AI has changed dramatically.
It cannot be that the next AI model isn't better, but also suddenly what they are capable of is on an entirely different level.

  I suspect it's partly because people didn't jump from GPT-3 to GPT-6.1 Sol and partly because SOTA models from the last few(?) months have been able to tackle most of the regular tasks. It means this new model isn't different in that regard from Opus 4.8, if your mental benchmark is that they both are capable of implementing something like a CRUD app.
