Claude Sonnet with self-consistency beats Opus on math, code tasks

A recent analysis demonstrates that employing a self-consistency technique with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet model can outperform a single call to the more powerful Claude Opus model on specific tasks. This method involves running multiple samples of Sonnet in parallel and selecting the most frequent answer, which significantly boosts accuracy on tasks with discrete, verifiable outputs like math or code completion. While latency increases slightly, the cost remains lower than upgrading to Opus, offering a more economical path to higher performance for certain applications. AI
