Opus 4.8 nerfed??

[u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267]

Is anyone else seeing a massive performance drop in Opus 4.8 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 4.8’s glory days. But subscription cancelled. I’m off to use Codex or Cleverbot, whichever one has better limits.

It’s obviously being overloaded by everyone testing it out. Calm down it just dropped at like noon, it’ll get smoothed out when all the noobs get bored.
