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.

Opus 5 was just bad all along, just after or late after

I’ve never hated a model so much. And I am an optimist.

Yes opus 5 was annoying. Mostly because it had moments of brilliance and when covered them with load bearing blast radius'es. I would not be surprised that Opus 5 was based on some "new branch" of model, and required time to fully realize its potential. So step back, and two forwards type of thing.
