That's fine. Other people may not want to pay 300x more and will rather make do with last year's SOTA.

Maybe you meant "For coding I always want to go with the best model"?
Based on current market for LLMs I'd say my use of "you" in the general is fine. Even openrouter which doesn't capture all of the SOTA closed models but nearly all of opensource model usage has Opus as 1st(on last week) on "Programming" category and 3rd in overall rankings
