Original Reddit post

4.7 frequently loses context, doesn’t actually reason when it should, can be extremely condescending, hedges when it shouldn’t, and so on. I just don’t understand what happened between 4.6 and 4.7 where suddenly general reasoning quality dropped so much. I can’t count how many times I say things like, ‘thank you,’ and it immediately hits me with “I have to be straight with you, as an AI…” The amount of mistakes it makes now, the amount of times the service drops, or it feels like Anthropic suddenly quantized the model to some ungodly low level and then quietly routes it to a version that’s even weaker is unreal. Yeah, I can’t prove it, but I don’t care. There have already been reports showing that 4.7 is having problems and struggling with things it shouldn’t be struggling with, so I don’t care. GPT 5.5 is actually less hedged now than 4.7. It’s absurd. submitted by /u/miskatonxc
