Yes. High value work where cost (mostly) doesn't matter. For example, if I need to look over a legal doc for possible mistakes (part of a workflow i have), it doesn't matter (in my case) whether it costs $0.01 or $10.00, since it's a somewhat infrequent event. So i'll pay $9.99 more, even if the model is only slightly better.


I'm surprised I never heard people talking about using -Pro variants, even though their rates ($125-175/M?) aren't drastically larger than old Opus ($75/M), which people seemed to use


Indeed, even just Terms of Service and Privacy Policy work. Infrequent enough that cost isn't an issue, but model quality absolutely is
