Opus-4.6 was probably the best model so far before it got nerfed. 4.7 is nowhere near experience I had. In fact I stopped using it completely because more often than not its output is just dumber than local models.
Opus 4.6 was never nerfed, that's FUD. There were harness-level problems that were fixed.
4.7 is much better. But perception is a funny thing, once you think something is bad you start looking for it everywhere.
Same here. Can't stand 4.7.
