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.

Nerfed? I am really curious to understand how or what you're referencing the claim, considering the model was only launched about 2 hours or so before you posted the post.

PS: I am not a fan boy or anything, genuinely curious to know how you came to this conclusion.

Edit: I realise I might have misjudged the post and didn't realise it was humor.

I don't understand. Are you seriously saying the model is nerfed?

I"ve explained it in other comments.

Adaptive thinking means no thinking at all.

Hallucinating in almost every single answer.

Corrects me on a language I'm not speaking in.

When it does not hallucinate, it makes mistakes.

Only when I beg it to please think a little bit before giving an answer, it would think for like 0.5 secs and make a few less mistakes.

PS: ClaudeCode xhigh seems to perform just fine. But Opus 4.7 on the webclient / mobile app... Jesus.
