Every time an online chatter (e.g. "limits are better", "model is better") makes me to reevaluate my principle of never paying Anthropic, I go to the model card, which strengthens my belief in the principle.

Why is Anthropic is so hell-bent on this auto/silent downgrade? Do they have a single user who prefers an auto-lobotomization instead of a refusal? Have they learned nothing from the backlash the first time?

Just go to /config. The very second configuration item is “Switch models when a message is flagged” and presumably you want to turn this off.

Oh but then you said you never pay Anthropic so you haven’t actually used Claude Code yet. Why would anyone listen to the opinion of a non-user?

		> so you haven’t actually used Claude Code yet. Where do you think the principle came from? I've used claude code for a year, and stopped February this year.

I don't believe they do silent downgrades right now, they're loud about it.
