crazy how a month-old opus 5.5 is still the best value for money gemini 4 argon is the most powerful model google has every launched competing with fable/astra yet opus 5.5 overshadows it why would anyone pay for gemini 4 argon when they already have access to opus 5.5 for a month, which is better and most people are comfortable with and now with fable 5.5 it's going to be even harder to justify switching from claude code
