To those lamenting that the Plan with Opus/Code with Sonnet feature is not available, check the charts.

Sonnet 4.5 is beating Opus 4.1 on many benchmarks. Feels like it's a change they made not to 'remove options', but because it's currently universally better to just let Sonnet rip.



Sure but I want to review the ripping plan so it tears along the correct lines.


Shift+Tab still brings up the planning mode.


What's the difference between thinking and planning? Planning leads to the use of the ToDoWrite Tool?


The thinking is more tokens dedicated to think. While planning has a different system prompt.


You can refine the plan before it starts writing any code


plan mode has a special prompt they use


Which doesn’t run Opus.


But not the specific benchmarks which reflect what Plan mode does.
