IMO they have all been clean and noticeable upgrades over their predecessors. Opus 4.7 in particular was a solid jump in capabilities.

most of my coworkers feel the opposite about 4.7 and that 4.6 was, to them, significantly better to point that several stopped using claude code

4.5 -> 4.7 was a solid jump for me having skipped 4.6. It probably does depend on the specific tasks.

I think it's telling how split the opinions are around all of this. A lot of people distinctly disliked 4.7.

Are the dividing lines around personality? Working domains? Opinionated software stuff?

Who knows?

It didn't change at all, same as 4.6. Good morning to the Anthropic office btw.
