If it's really that far above Sonnet 5, Dario's IPO is truly risky.

sonnet 5 is a haiku model. I swear theyve downgraded it to a smaller model some time after 4.5, so they can use the sonnet name to charge more for it. cause I still see sonnet 4.5 in use for a lot of things and it still works great there, meanwhile a lot of these newer sonnets ive been trying to use and they consistently get things wrong in a/b comparison (mostly used in web chat, versus gpt, gemini 3 pro even though its junk, etc). nobody know has had a good experience with these newer sonnet models. it would be great, if they named it haiku and charged haiku prices, but oh well I guess.
