is it worth it to upgrade to the latest version right now? i locked mine to v2.1.47 after the january debacle and honestly it’s been great. even during that rough patch in early april when everyone was complaining, my setup was solid. but now i’m starting to wonder if i’m leaving performance on the table by staying on an older version. for context, i’m on opus 4.6 and have no plans to switch models, so i don’t really care about 4.7 support or new model-specific features. what i do care about is the actual quality of work being done. the main reason i locked in was because during january, it felt like the model just lost its intelligence. even simple tasks that it used to handle effortlessly were coming back wrong or half done. stuff that should have been straightforward felt like babysitting. the output quality tanked and that was the dealbreaker for me. so my questions for people here: if you were locked on an older version and recently upgraded to latest, was there a noticeable improvement? or did things get worse? is anyone else still locked on v2.1.x and planning to stay there for a while? for those who upgraded and then rolled back, what made you go back? basically trying to figure out if the current latest is in a good stable place or if i should keep riding what’s working. would love to hear from people who’ve actually made the jump recently rather than just going off changelogs. submitted by /u/BasePurpose
