I've been working with Opus 5.5 every day, probably around 10h on average, and I feel confident in saying that they did not replace anything.

I'm a bit disappointed with how this nonsense is spread across HN today.

"I'm a bit disappointed with how this nonsense is spread across HN today."

Are you saying that the many, many people posting and experiencing this are wrong and you are right?

And not just in this instance, nerfing has been complained about in a cyclical fashion for many months.

But, they're all wrong?

You're so confident in your experience that you cannot think that other's experiences are also true?

		I'm pretty convinced that those who have constantly been posting these complaints, probably for every single model release out there, are indeed wrong.

		> And not just in this instance, nerfing has been complained about in a cyclical fashion for many months. No, it gets complained about constantly even if there is no model coming out. A completely unrelated thread on Claude will feature comments like "can I just say that [model] has suddenly become useless this week?" Merely asking that question is bound to get people agreeing with you because we are evaluating all of this on vibes and placebos. I too feel that way sometimes, I don't think it's ridiculous that Anthropic might silently downgrade you as demand warrants. But asking others if they "feel" something I feel is less than useless.

		If you go back in time far enough, your logic can successfully be used to demonstrate the earth is flat. "Could all these people seriously be wrong?" Yes, yes they could.
