I have to say I love Claude. I really do, I love the new personality that 4 came out with, I love talking to it, I love working with it, in general I’ve always just loved its style. But over the last month and a half I’ve becoming increasingly disenchanted with its performance. I know that anthropic posted the post mortem. I understand that they had a lot of people join in at the same time and in that document they were trying to explain the compute situation I’m glad that they figured out you know how to establish more usage for tokens and credits with the SpaceX deal, But I am just not seeing Claude become any better after this last month’s dip. And sometimes I’m wondering if the dip has more to do with the fact that they tried to release a less capable model than the one they claim is too dangerous for people to use. There’s been a lot of changes that just continue to rear their head, like Claude does not seem to have the attention it used to. It has a proclivity to give up on tasks or pass the ball down the court instead of just taking care of what I’ve instructed it to do. In other words just seems to just give up. I write very detailed plans that I submit to Claude that are plans that any senior developer should be able to follow and produce a semi competent result and I can’t seem to get Claude to do that consistently. These are not prompting and context issues, These are things that me and other people that I know are noticing since just before the update to OPUS 4.7. I can’t speak for any of the other models like Sonnet because I don’t use those so I’m specifically talking about Opus. And I run in the VS code environment. I’ve been using Codex a lot more and I’m starting to notice that it’s not making nearly as many mistakes, I think anthropic has a real decision here to make if Mythos is as good as they say it is they need to drop it. Because it doesn’t appear like it’s gonna stop the competition from dropping their best. And while I’m grateful that they’re doubling the usage limits, I don’t think people paying $200 a month should have usage limits as much as they should have a usage ticker that once they reach a certain point it allows them to continue to use the service for that week during off peak hours or something. It’s hard to justify a $200 price tag with OPUS in this current state. submitted by /u/Terrible-Ad-6794
