It's got Claude Sonnet pricing but they don't compare to it in benchmarks.

To be fair, or not, Claude isn't all that great.

I was working on a project to get the historic data out of a bluetooth thermometer I bought a while back to learn about Bluetooth LE and it would quite often rewrite the entire thing using a completely different bluetooth library instead of simply addressing the error.

And this is after I gave up having it create a kernel module for the same thermometer (just because, not that anyone needs such a thing) where it would continually try to write a helper program that wrote to the /proc filesystem and I would ask "why would I want to do this when I could just use the example program I gave you?" Claude, of course, was highly apologetic every single time it made the exact same mistake so there's that.

I understand these are the early days of the robotic overthrow of humanity but, please, at least sell me a working product.
