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’ve seen overwhelmingly that when a model is good people see it, and when it isn’t, they criticize. I’ve seen nothing but ‘wow this is a huge step up’ from Opus 5.5. I felt this way about Opus 4.5, GPT-5.6 Sol/Luna, and to a lesser extent with Fable and Astra. But Opus 5 was ass, and the entire gpt 6 line feels like OpenAI’s version of that.
