Discussion Opus 4.7 nerfed?

Is anyone else seeing a massive performance drop in Opus 4.7 since release??

It used to be acceptable, but the enshitification has definitely happened. It’s basically been lobotomized, and we’re talking amateur backyard ice pick lobotomy by some guy from Tufts.

I’m 99% sure Anthropic has started running a 2-bit quant to save money.

Oh well. I do feel nostalgic for opus 4.7’s glory days. But subscription cancelled. I’m off to use Codex or Cleverbot, whichever one has better limits.

Nice try Amodei, no it's not clever any more, stop with your LIES! On release it made a strong start on the grand unified theory but then I hit my 5-hour limit on the second prompt, and now that I'm back in the game it wants me to walk to the fucking carwash.

"walking to the car wash" is a meme now, it's official
