I'm still very happily using Claude Code + Opus 4.5, and am distressed by the idea of losing access to that specific model in a few months. In my experience, 4.5 is very much worth $100/month, whereas 4.6 is basically worthless. I'm honestly not even interested in trying out 4.7. The unfortunate reality of these black boxes is that what makes a particular model shine is very hard to understand and replicate, so you end up with an unpredictable product direction, not something that is steadily improving.
