So yesterday during the opus5 outage I briefly switched to opus 4.6 to continue my work (training/inference perf engineering, kernel level debugging) So I fed the model the same context and prompt to analyze a profiling trace and extract insights from it, and it was so unbelievably dumb that I had to retry with a new session, and I still got a very bad response… Then after opus5 came back I tried it again and it was night and day… Way more verbose true, but actually useful and insightful stuff coming out of the model. really made me appreciate all the progress on opus models since 4.6… I always remembered it as a much smarter and concise model than the ones after 4.7, but it was a mirage… submitted by /u/AliNT77
