Same for me!
My Max sub got renewed today, wish I've cancelled it earlier. I have been mainly using Sol anyways. I don't want to deal with dumb Opus anymore.

Same for me!
My Max sub got renewed today, wish I've cancelled it earlier. I have been mainly using Sol anyways. I don't want to deal with dumb Opus anymore.
my pet conspiracy theory is this is the Opus 4.5 from a few months ago which was extremely good but dumbed down after a week because it was just too good, they didn't want to release it to public. They pulled it down and deployed another "Opus", after that it was just a downhill. Opus 4.8 is unusable for me in React Native, TS, Rails development work.
Opus 4.8 gets stuck in weird loops where Codex one shots the bugs.
honestly, initial version of Opus-4.6 was much better than whatever we are being served right now as 4.7. If it performs same level to that, i'm totally willing to switch.
100% dumber, especially since last 3-4 days. I have two guesses:
- They make it dumber close to a new release to hype the new model
- They gave $1000 Claude Code Web credits to a lot of people, which increased the load a lot so they had to serve quantized version to handle the it.
I love Claude models but I hate this non transparency and instability.
Me too. I have Claude Max and 2 ChatGpt accounts for Codex.
I was a huge claude fan but recently find myself using only codex. When it gets stuck, I try Claude for some simple tasks, sometimes ask same questions in parallel, Claude Code with Opus performs really bad comparing to codex.
Instead of building random features, they have to fix their quality first.
I'm on 100$ Max plan, I would even buy 2x 200$ plan if Opus would stop randomly being dumb. Especially after 7am ET time.
I do.
