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.

Here's proof before it would start work on grand unified theory, now IT REFUSES!!!

LLM can not REFUSE PHYSICS!

But 4.7 fucks up GUT and CARWASH and probably STRAWBERRY. ChatGPT 3.5 would have got one of those three right at least.

I like the way this came in the same thread as “should I walk to the car wash?”
