Not the direct competitor to Opus 5.5, cuz 6 Sol is 50% cheaper.

Same price on Cache Reads 0.2/M So won't be 50 percent cheaper, more like 25% cheaper assuming half cost is cache read.

that might depend on usecase, half of my cost is cache reads usally

Love the price reductions across major players

Because Qwen4 has been announced!

And GLM 5.3 works great

Except for the censorship. We use it for massive data crunching, and roughly 5-8% (depending on the day) gets censored and doesn't get a response. We switched to Mimo 2.6, which is relatively better. For censored stuff, we use Sonnet and OpenAI Nano models.

Also Mimo 2.6 is roughly 30% cheaper. Without batch.

What sort of content is it censoring? Politics I assume?

News mostly. Anything China-related gets censored without hesitation. Some random stuff got censored too. It is borderline unusable, to be honest, unless only numbers are crunched.

Interesting. Was planning to use it for a news related thing too. I guess one can throw Jev at it first to ask whether it relates to China and then decide?

Or use the failure to get a response like you say

We are using it with OpenAI Luna. We send any failed query to Luna, and the operation is complete.

and to squeeze anthropic, and other research innovations, not just chinese models but those help bring price down

Atlas Shrugged

That is quite opposite of weakness. Your entire life is exercising power of your mind. What is left if you take it away? Do the thing you love and you will find your happiness.
