The real problem with Claude isn’t the model, it’s what Anthropic does around it. When you select Opus or Sonnet or whatever, you’re selecting a specific model. Why does it feel absolutely DUMB some days? Because Anthropic changes stuff AROUND the model. System prompts get updated. Context window handling changes. And it seems like there’s a valid possibility that the model you select isn’t actually the model you get during high traffic—correct me if I’m wrong, haven’t really followed that issue closely (and yes, that’s an m-dash. Here’s an n-dash: – , and here’s a hyphen-minus: - ). If I’m paying for Pro and selecting a specific model, Anthropic owes me transparency about what’s happening between my input and that model’s output. If they keep changing the instructions the model receives, the tools it has access to, and potentially which model is actually running, they can’t act surprised when users say it got dumber. We’re not paying for vibes. We deserve to know what we’re actually getting. submitted by /u/OHOLshoukanjuu
