More expensive than Sonnet 4.5, but no comparison benchmarks. I think I’ll pass.

I’m a big fan of Composer 1, because it’s just so freaking fast, but I do find the quality is a bit behind Opus 4.5, and maybe around Sonnet 4.5?

If 1.5 is close enough to Opus that I can daily drive it, that would be huge.

Was about to complain about the pricing (more expensive than newly released 5.3 Codex?) but then I noticed that Auto/Composer mode appears to be billed separately now -- so I can use $400 of API in _addition_ to Auto/Composer?

Am I right in thinking that's a separate allowance? That's pretty cool if so

In my experience, Composer is billed like the rest of the models, but Auto mode is billed separately. I recently hit the limit on my plan and was being billed for on demand usage, but using Auto kept it within the "included" allowance (i.e. "free").

I'm not sure how much free usage they give you with Auto mode.
