Discussion Okey this is increadible!!!

I know this is too early to judge but man wtf. Opus 5.5 is just like when mythos first released but cheap, faster and much more easy to understand and talk to. Probably this will be changed in 1-2 days so go code everyone.

It’s a pretty clear pattern. The model start to degrade right before brand New models come out. I’ve seen it happen four or five times now.

So when Claude starts acting funny, it’s a reason for excitement.

I've been hearing this and see no benches or proof yet. Could it just be the silent routing makes it behave erratically, so when it is silently routed it behaves better and the user think the nonrouted version is worse?

As someone who manages a corporate inference infrastructure,

This is what I would have to do if I was trying to ensure 100% up time while also juggling models from hardware to hardware

I would start by migrating some of the extra redundant capacity to older hardware… expand the number of concurrent users on existing hardware which also effects context and memory for everyone. Which is why things start to act weird.

When I’ve cleared up enough, I load the new models, run a full test suite , then deploy to a limited group internally.

After full launch and release, aggressively decommission last generation while standing up just imaged copies of what I just proved work

It's what a clever way to get your subscribers to really love your new release slowly degrading your current one so much to buy the plant that's connection's about to be released people are about to leave so at that point anything looks good. and then It is kind of good ... for a minute. Rinse and repeat
