Opus 4.7 is unusable. I am tired of the apologies

Sorry for the rant, but it's so annoying to use opus lately. Most of the information is inaccurate, it struggles with context and keeps self-contradicting throughout.

As a counter opinion, I find Opus 4.7 to be great. It is my default model. The only thing I don't like is how verbose it while chatting. I have tried without success to make it more concise and would fall back to 4.6 if it was not producing better code for me.

Maybe I am not doing something right... It failed me at a repetitive task that I have been doing since 5 months now. After a long, verbose chat, it finally delivered only to immediately fail next week.
