Hey nerds, I’ve been switching to opus 4.5 lately as opus 4.7 makes me babysit it to keep it on track (that’s with skills and hooks 💀) still could be me just not understanding how opus 4.7 works still. I tried switching back to 4.6 but something feels off with it — very short thinking and it’s not taking the time to understand my code-bases before making changes it also (most of the time) doesn’t do as deep of research for daily topics outside of code). On weekends this is obviously better. I saw you could still switch to opus 4.5 with ——— /model claude-opus-4-5-20251101 and I have to say it’s so much better at actually understanding how everything works and following skills and hooks! Memory look up is about the same as opus 4.6 though so a little nudging to get it to read that. But yea, this model is still the best for OVERALL work. Opus 4.7 is still the best at applying the skeleton of your app, and is extremely fast (on the weekend). It was also just randomly stopping after bash commands? lol Hoping Anthropic has gone back to 4.5 style of thinking with mythos. -rant over 💋 submitted by /u/Sweet-Brother7246
