They have updated it


Ha! So we were not looking at the same chart. That makes more sense.

> Anthropic did post an official explanation, stating the original chart used a "simpler methodology" that "underestimated Sonnet 5's performance." The new chart supposedly uses their "standard methodology."

Oops!


Did Anthropic have Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 switched in the Agentic Search chart at first?


No, and the original had everything more expensive. There's a comparison here:

The explanation Anthropic gave for the update doesn't address how the x-axis needed to range up to $50 previously and only $10 now. In any case the pass rates are also lower.

Probably the difference between whatever it is people notice when they say models become "nerfed".


Huh, super interesting. Thanks!
