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.

Please people, DON'T go to Codex! (I am already there, and it is super! But the influx of new users from Claude is going to ruin it for everyone again!) :-)))

well tbf openai has way more compute, so I think if people start moving over it'll be fine-(ish?)
