Really insightful read, Brian. Benchmarks only tell half the story, so 'living inside it' is exactly the right approach. I've been heavily leveraging these advanced models for complex backend utility processing, and the leap to Opus 4.7 feels like exactly what we need for heavier logic. The Project Glasswing quarantine concept is super intriguing—curious to see how Mythos shapes up once it's fully unleashed!
