I locked my default model to opus 4.6 around the time of the nerfs. Such better results compared to 4.7+

That's enshittification for ya I guess

The claims of 4.6 or 4.7 being superior genuinely make me laugh. Adapt your workflow if needed and use the superior model instead of just kneejerk believing they actually enshittified a model with zero evidence except vibes on an undeterministic model output. Jesus.

    4.6 was the last model that let you disable adaptive thinking and set max thinking token budget. I liked having that available, and still use it sometimes.

    Like another commenter said below, last Opus version to respect adaptive thinking and token budget flags was 4.6

    It was quite clear 4.7 was a dumbed down high efficiency model they put out in a rush to handle the capacity issues they were having at the time. I've experienced myself substantial degradation on basic reasoning tasks, which were fixed in 4.8.

    Bro, it's all vibes.

    Models get dumber during the day and smarter during the night, I swear.

    but I'm not willing to scientifically verify this, so I'm just going to go off of vibes- just like everyone seems to be doing with projects.

      These vibes are pretty obvious even with casual use. Weekends are so much better.

      Exactly.

      The real step change I've seen lately is in the amount of complaining people are doing when their models aren't giving them what they want.

      In my case it that I'm tired and more likely to miss issues or mistakes. My idea of good enough is at a much lower level when it's 10pm and I'm about to knock off and go to bed in an hour.
