Databricks tests find Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna expand coding cost and quality
Patrick Wendell says Databricks’ analysis of 2,400 engineers’ online workloads, plus offline evaluations, finds Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna expand the cost/quality frontier. Opus 5.5 cut same-task cost by 20% versus Opus 4.8, and Databricks is encouraging it as a daily default for coding.
