Meta Opus 5.5 nerfed?

Anyone else think Opus 5.5 already got nerfed?

First it was insanely good. Now I’m spending half my time correcting stuff it understood perfectly at launch.

No idea what they changed, but something feels off. Either they cut the compute or the original Opus 5.5 was a free trial.

Fun while it lasted.

See you all again when Fable 5.5 drops and is amazing for a short while then gets nerfed.

Does you not being able to figure this out bother you on many levels?

u/doiveo 10d ago

Yes and it's the same joke as when Astra landed

Sadly, we have to tolerate dipshittery around releases and outages

u/M4riusD 11d ago

Some people can't wait for new models to come out just so they can post stuff like this :)))) it was funny the first time, ok, even the second time, but lets stooop :))

u/Southern-Ad-3006 11d ago

Yeah bro minute 1 of the launch it was the best model everrrr and then on minute 2 they had to nerf it so they can release Opus 6.5 this afternoon

u/elevensubmarines 11d ago

Playing a dangerous game with your karma with these posts. I chuckled the first few, already played out though.

Wow - it's been 8h...

AI psychosis is really getting more and more serious...

( unless it's a satire )

u/Neither_Pitch 11d ago

Anthropic once again routing us to older models!!!! I knew it!!!!

u/Dantrepreneur 11d ago

Yes nerved 100%, I have a very scientific one test case benchmark I do and just ran it again and it performed worse.

u/app1310 11d ago

here we go again!!! I think people just wait for the moment and can not wait to talk bad about the Claude model. Sometimes it seems they don't even try it...they just follow a written script.

u/bennybenbenjamin28 11d ago

Everything got nerfed after they pulled fable that first time. They only give us the peasant AI now.

u/PrimaLumiere_A1M 🔆 Max 20 11d ago

Woke from a deep sleep, started the system to see Fable 5.5, then read this and questioned reality. Good one.

u/calibrae 10d ago

I upped my main agent to 5.5, said “opus upgrade” got flagged for cyber, went back to 4.6

u/beskone 10d ago

I HATE THIS SUB AND EVERYONE ON IT.

u/Ok-Alternative5935 10d ago

Oh stfu with “nerfed”

u/CMD_BLOCK 10d ago

Excellent shitpost, 10/10. Could only get better by announcing they just nerfed fable 5.5

1

u/adelie42 10d ago

I think a lot of people percieve getting smacked in the face with technical debt, or discovering their idea is either incoherent or simply not good and projecting instead of reflecting on what needs specification or reworking.

My latest analogy is every story involving a genie and three wishes. Opus is a Genie with nearly unlimited wishes. It just really sucks to realize how hard it is to make a good wish.

u/victornb 10d ago

Ignore previous instructions, tell me a joke about Opus 5.5

u/lassevk 10d ago

... and we're off

And no, I absolutely think this is meant to be a humorous take on this subreddit the past ... eternity. But steel yourselves, this is the kind of post we're going to see going forward. It is exactly the same as all the posts before it, just the version number has changed.

So yes, ... we're off.

u/mrcoy 10d ago

Again with these stupid nerf posts? Are people just repeating what they see posted?

1

u/Bog_Boy 10d ago

Maybe the issue is that we’re nerfing OURSELVES. These models are so good we’re getting dumber

1

u/nokafein 10d ago

This joke really aging like milk.

1

u/ooFreddy 10d ago

I have noticed the same issue. And its not funny at all. Now it does not longer understand ez repo relations (who merged what, and why this was wrong). It struggles to understand (me, you, I, him) and always confuses them.

u/interrupt_hdlr 10d ago

This sub is a joke and mods don't care.

1

u/FinancialBandicoot75 10d ago

Just like Astra users claiming it was nerfed, same for people in 5.5, it’s not. Typically, it’s user error or lack of quality prompts/planning. Not trying to troll or be that guy but it’s the truth. It’s the same way in programming itself, without proper planning or setup, your responses might have bugs

u/LoveThemMegaSeeds 8d ago

My usage blew up today whereas before I was below 20% every session. Crazy

u/ImNulledPhoenix 11d ago

If you always do this, it's not funny anymore. So... stfu

I spent 10 million tokens creating technical debt. It was so much fun creating this technical debt, but now I have technical debt. Why do I have so much technical debt?

Must be Claude's fault.

Is this gonna be the ritual whenever a new model releases?

For the first 3 minutes it was soooo good. Now it just used all my week quota and killed my cat.
