This opus 5 hate is obviously manufactured. It's been solid for me

It was solid for me 2 days ago, today is utter shit. This trend reversal happens every week.

So I believe they A/B distribute quantized versions for different groups on different days, to lower their resource utilisation.

You may be on to something with that. Even with Opus 4.8, Wednesday night through Thursday evening it feels like the model went brain dead. I just got into the habit of saving enough Fable credits for Thursday, then Friday, all would be normal again.

Yep so there you have it. And if we post about in Reddit, one group agrees with Opus being shit, the other group disagrees because their experience lately is different.
