alt Hacker NewsWhy do their models always get Nerf'ed? Is Anthropic doing planned obsolescence or are they trying to encourage use of their latest models? Opus 5.5 was clearly Nerf'ed last week. I think they are at risk of getting a class action lawsuit for deceptive practices with this unannounced "model optimization" that actually changes performance as compared to the advertised performance in the official model cards.

You have psychosis my friend. They don't nerf the models.
probably the only way to make their economics work

It's frustrating they can't be transparent that they're even doing it, let alone why they're doing it.
They still charge you full price and don't offer any quota resets even though you're getting less value for money while you're working with a nerfed model.
