It baffles me how much Anthropic managed to convince developers their models were _so much_ better.

I can't use a tool that silently drops down to a lower intelligence, or refuses, or doesn't think I should be doing something. I would much rather lose 5% of the benchmaxxed scores and actually be able to do something reasonable.

Don't even get me started on the fact Claude still has 5 hour limits, what a way to kill any flow.

Looks like Opus is still nerfed by the way: https://micjm.com/blog/opus-5.5-after-fable/
