100% dumber, especially since last 3-4 days. I have two guesses:

- They make it dumber close to a new release to hype the new model

- They gave $1000 Claude Code Web credits to a lot of people, which increased the load a lot so they had to serve quantized version to handle the it.

I love Claude models but I hate this non transparency and instability.

Me too. I have Claude Max and 2 ChatGpt accounts for Codex.

I was a huge claude fan but recently find myself using only codex. When it gets stuck, I try Claude for some simple tasks, sometimes ask same questions in parallel, Claude Code with Opus performs really bad comparing to codex.

Instead of building random features, they have to fix their quality first.

I'm on 100$ Max plan, I would even buy 2x 200$ plan if Opus would stop randomly being dumb. Especially after 7am ET time.

Opus' ability should be the feature being optimized and stabilized, fewer features are needed.

Maybe they are switching you to a cheaper to run model after 7am ET time.

I do.
