The speaker considers Opus very good, fast, and cheap, and says it now covers the full range of model needs for which they previously used two or three models.

“Opus is so good, it's fast, it's cheap, it kinda hits all my check boxes. Um I would say I previously have had like two to three models depending on whether they're cheap and fast, whether they're really smart, like whether they can solve specific problems. And now Opus is kind of covering my my full range. Um I think a lot of the team still reaches for tools like codecs when we need to do something”
