You’ve probably already seen people bashing Opus 4.8 for coding. It is my experience too: we work on serious projects (not vibe coding) and it makes more mistakes and is slower (so the argument that they just defaulted to a lighter thinking mode doesn’t apply). However, when I go on Reddit I see lots of people praising 4.8. So my question is: if it does work for you, what do you use it for? I’m genuinely curious because we also integrate these models into our own product (for text analysis) and so far I’m quite happy keeping 4.6 as the default model because I trust that it works. Can’t say the same thing about 4.8. So want to poll here to understand the use cases better? For instance, from what I hear, it’s actually good for serious coding (not my experience). Maybe you use it for content? As a thinking partner? What is the use case where you feel it’s actually much better than the previous models? And what harness you’re using with it to make it work? submitted by /u/noduslabs
