Well, first off there is no such thing as Claude as there are multiple models that you can select from. You did not list which model you were using. In my opinion the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model is spectacular. It’s the best model yet for coding both on leaderboard and empirically in projects I’ve had it help me with.

This topic is discussed in recent Lex Fridman interview with with CEO of Anthropic where he very clearly walks through how these claims of it being dumber or not true. It’s a great interview and after listening to it I’m even more bullish on Anthropic.

There was a small degradation in performance that they posted an alert at the top of the page 2 nights ago. It didn’t affect the quality of the responses I got but it didn’t cause somewhat of a slowdown in response speed.

Apologies, I assumed people would infer that I am referring to 3.5 sonnet.

Mine as well, until this morning.

Also same, but as of this morning the performance is fine but the quality seems to have gotten worse.

Could you elaborate on what was said?
