Opus 4.6 and 4.7 had clear improvements for coding. 4.7 is excellent. But I’m not seeing improvements anywhere else, and on some things it is even worse. Logic is bad. You’ve probably seen the car wash test (“I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?”). Hallucinations are way up on the more recent models, you cannot trust him on anything without double-checking. Instruction-following is weaker. Writing has slipped. For my coding work, Opus 4.7 is fantastic and I’m not going back. But I also produce a lot of written content, and for that 4.5 is still clearly ahead: less context drift, better tone, less reliance on templated patterns. So I find myself switching models depending on the task. Question for anyone here doing serious content/writing work with Claude: how have you adapted? Using a different model entirely (and keeping a consistent tone with existing Claude-written content)? Did you manage to get 4.7 to write more naturally? submitted by /u/Lexs_07
