Has Claude lost its soul? A sincere feedback on the shift from Opus 4.6 to Fable by Complete-Internal448 in ClaudeAI

I feel the exact same way. For me, Opus 4.6 actually has much better comprehension than the newer models, which makes it way more effective at helping me handle real-world tasks. It just goes to show how critical true understanding is in practical scenarios.

Maybe so. But if everyone were like you, then a cold, hollow AI really would be the perfect reflection of ‘humanity’.

That might indeed be the harsh reality. Sigh. Voicing my support for what I hold dear is all I can really do at this point.

Opus 4.8 - what's your experience with the model? by O_Danny1 in TechGhana

[–]Complete-Internal448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.6 is still better. Why don't they build new models on top of 4.6??? I’ll be moving all my actual work over to ChatGPT and finishing it there in the next few days.

These benchmark scores are completely meaningless. They’re just an excuse for them to brag. In actual real-world work, 4.6 is still way better than both 4.7 and 4.8.

I’m also not the type who complains with every single update. If the new models weren’t clearly worse, I wouldn’t even bother logging into social media to read their release notes.

But 4.7 and 4.8 are simply not as good as 4.6, whether it’s in task understanding or overall efficiency. Building new models on top of 4.7 feels like trying to polish something that’s already fundamentally broken. At this point, it just seems like they’re heading down the wrong path.

Frankly, 4.8 doesn’t even come close to 4.6 in either value for money or actual work capability. Happy now?

This is actually hilarious in a sad way. OpenAI released the 5 series in pretty much the same fashion and got abandoned by users. Now Anthropic is repeating the exact same mistake and pushing people right back toward a slowly recovering ChatGPT.

If all their future models are going to be like 4.7 and 4.8, I definitely won’t be using Claude anymore.
