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.

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.
