Until the SpaceX deal, we were all running a quantized, dumbed-down Opus 4.7 and paying full price for it. That’s the only honest read of what just happened. Today the model is finally what it should have been at launch. It actually wants to dig into problems and fix them properly instead of grabbing the cheapest win and bouncing. No more chasing it with follow-up after follow-up. GPT-5.5 Codex doesn’t pull this. It was strong at launch and it’s still performing the same now. Anthropic’s playbook has been the opposite: ship a model, quietly degrade it to save compute, then cut your weekly limits when you complain. Colossus 1 is the only reason 4.7 is suddenly performing - not because Anthropic decided to stop cutting corners. The launch we got was a scam. The model we have today is the one we paid for. submitted by /u/LeyLineDisturbances
