Goel summarizing Deep SWE 1.1 model-cost comparisons
Useful datapoint for coding-model market structure: if these Deep SWE 1.1 comparisons hold up, the story is not just capability but a sharp shift in price-performance for SWE-oriented model tiers.

What it is: X post by Shantanu Goel summarizing Deep SWE 1.1 model-cost comparisons
Gist: Claims GPT 5.6 Sol medium outperforms Opus 4.8 max at roughly one-sixth the cost, while GPT 5.6 Sol High performs similarly to Fable 5 max at roughly one-fifth the cost. Framed as a benchmark-driven price/performance argument rather than a qualitative workflow review.
Newsletter angle: Useful datapoint for coding-model market structure: if these Deep SWE 1.1 comparisons hold up, the story is not just capability but a sharp shift in price-performance for SWE-oriented model tiers.
Retrieval note: Grounded from the X post text itself; the supporting benchmark details appear to be in the attached image, which I have not OCRed here.
