Putting Muse Wonder and Opus 5.5 in the same S tier has turned Theo Browne’s model rankings into an argument about what a tier even means. A critic, @spartanmadeit, invoked a “brain transplant” over Muse supposedly matching Opus. Theo responded by calling Grok fans “illiterate,” then explained that S tier means models he likes and uses a lot—not identical abilities. Another reader challenged why unequal models shared a tier; Theo said each does things better than the other. These are his preferences, not our benchmark verdict. The ranking itself is older; today’s development is the public row and clarification. You came for help choosing software. Congratulations: you’re now attending a definitions hearing with optional insults. AI can produce mathematical proofs, but apparently liking two models still needs expert witnesses.

Theo Browne’s original shared screenshot shows his older Muse Wonder and Opus 5.5 S-tier ranking and the accompanying disclaimer that he likes both, rather than claiming equal capability. The new October 27 argument concerns this older list.
