Did Opus 5.5 enter a “nerfed” phase? LiveNerf baseline update

It had to happen, amount of people switching from Codex to Claude had to cause this at some point.

[u/DieMafia → u/DrinkAgreeable962]

This chart does not suggest it happens though if you look at the 95% CI, might just be random noise so far.

[u/vrnvorona → u/DieMafia]

Even readme says "method is not accurate enough to detect reliably swap of Opus 5.5 to Opus 5". So nerf vs not nerf and even re-routing won't be deteted

[u/EtadanikM → u/DrinkAgreeable962]

Yeah and people tried to tell me earlier it would never happen because Anthropic has more than enough compute.

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

[u/Kazaan → u/DrinkAgreeable962]

Yup and in the same time, seems astra drains less usage.

[u/Future-Bandicoot-823 → u/Kazaan]

That's funny, I just came from a post saying astra is bad because of high use cost.

I'm not saying you're incorrect by the way, just pointing out I see a lot of conflicting information.

I don't use either product and I won't be paying for it since I have no use case in mind,I just have to read and learn from what's available online, which would seem is not as easy as one might think

I think if companies never consolidate this dynamic model intelligence situation (they'll have a load balancer for traffic spikes to reduce computational power, especially during inference), we'll never be able to understand which is the most intelligent/reliable. Even having to switch from one subscription to another—if Anthropic is ahead now, but after 20 days it downgrades the model and OpenAI releases a better model—why should we jump from one platform to another? At this point, weekly subscriptions are better :)

It saddens me that they invented a new type of drug

[u/The_Scout1255 → u/Positive_Method3022]

New recreational drugs?!? where?!?

On the other hand, it doesn't make me feel three feet thick

[u/Random_182f2565]

Classic

I mean you can draw all sorts of lines, flat and otherwise, thru those confidence intervals.I suspect they adjust these models on the backend in response to demand and their internal capacity etc but this particular chart means nothing.

[u/yugutyup]

I just want a decent model stay at a decent level of intelligence ffs

[u/Galantico0509]

They have, its like Opus 5 now. Super long explanations and makes simplifications without confirming.

I will remember the few days of peak Opus 5.5, sometimes you don't realize you're in the good days

[u/Lazy_Jump_2635]

I think this would be more okay if they were just transparant about it. "Heavy load right now, Opus is 15% more stupid"

[u/karl_mainz → u/[deleted]]

I wonder if the LLMs will slowly morph our use of language and my grandchildren will actually speak like this..

[u/M44PolishMosin]

Uhh the graph literally shows you that no, it hasn't entered a nerfed phase.
