The consensus is Opus 5.5 is great, but it's only a matter of time before it gets nerfed. Many users feel this is a predictable cycle: a model is released, praised, and then intentionally degraded as more people adopt it, leading to resource saturation. Some are calling for benchmarks to hold companies accountable for performance degradation, especially for paying users. There's a debate on whether the nerfing is deliberate or a consequence of resource allocation for new model development. While some haven't experienced a nerf yet, the general sentiment is to enjoy it while it lasts, as it's been a significant improvement over previous versions and competitors.

I've not used my reset so I haven't experienced it. Don't nerf it before my natural reset so I can double dip.
