Opus 4.6 is already incredible so this leap is huge.

Although, amusingly, today Opus told me that the string 'emerge' is not going to match 'emergency' by using `LIKE '%emerge%'` in Sqlite

Moment of disappointment. Otherwise great.



I only have 3 points against LLMs: they lack reason and they can't count.


'emer ge' is two tokens, 'emergency' is one. The models think in a logosyllabic language.
