Does this coincide with the claimed nerfing of Opus 5.5? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50422069

At this point, this is giving "She Deep Breaths More" from Onyxia in WoW.

Context, I had to look this up:

“…a reference to the repeated (and always erroneous) claims made after almost every patch that Onyxia was using her Deep Breath ability more often than before.”

In my experience, this happens every single time they release a new model.

I hope so. I've been having brain fog for a couple days now and would love it if it was actually Opus 5.5's fault.

That's just your brain telling you to engage it every now and then lol "Please, don't let me become slush!"

I have never been thinking harder than I do these days: Engaging with mountains of agent-generated text, weighing decisions and trade-offs, correcting the agent's half-baked ideas and misunderstandings, reviewing the bizarre code that they generate... If I'm not just sick (and I'm pretty sure that I am), then what I have is probably closer burnout than atrophy.

Nerfing an existing model is the biggest crime in this space. I can’t imagine Dario okaying this because it’s what will immediately destroy your brand.

it is happening at the same time but "claimed nerfing" is not the same as "actual nerfing."
