Opus 4.8 was smarter and possibly 10x faster than Opus 5, too. They are dumbing things down on purpose. I am praying for open models to become at least as smart as Fable soon so we can ditch these shitty, lying companies.

I was rooting for Anthropic 2 years ago, but now I have become an extremely bitter customer. Just another version of OpenAI, if not shittier.
