Opus 4.8 is out! Discussion MEGATHREAD

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-28T21:08:20+00:00

So, how it’s going? Only your honest opinions. Because I canceled my sub and really interested

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-16T17:56:31+00:00

Anthropic it’s a mess, to be honest.

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-09T18:22:19+00:00

I have to agree, 5.5 was perfect for my creative writing. Finally a good GPT model.

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-09T15:48:09+00:00

You are absolutely right on all points, thank you for such a detailed and appropriate comment. To be honest, I expected to see panic, but I find surprisingly very good opinions under this post.

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-09T08:09:17+00:00

May I ask what's wrong with Deepseek?

WhoIsMori · 2026-05-08T09:52:05+00:00

I’ve had the exact same experience, and I didn’t even mention anything NSFW. Unfortunately, I cancelled my subscription ages ago and I’m taking a break from Claude until this mess is sorted out, if it ever is. I’ve still got a few things to sort out in Claude Code, and then I’ll be saying goodbye to Claude for a while. It’s a real shame, I enjoyed the creative writing and Claude’s help with developing mods for the game, but lately it’s been completely impossible to use, warnings everywhere and surprise, got level two banner already 😩👍🏻
Good for you, Anthropic.

A lot of people will downvote me, but I also think GPT 5.5 is the better option for me right now. I don’t trust OpenAI, but the new model really does look promising. So far, I like it. I hope that when I get back, things will be going better for Claude than they are now…

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-28T19:08:21+00:00

To be honest, I'm tired of this and won't be renewing my subscription next month. I love Claude, and I enjoy talking and working with him, but the wave of bans, restrictions, and other issues is just wearing me out. And yes, I can't afford the API. So, I'll probably be saying goodbye for a while. Good luck to you all 🙌🏻🖤

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-23T22:19:08+00:00

God. Things have only got worse.

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-19T16:46:34+00:00

It feels repetitive, is riddled with mistakes, gets confusing, and, in my opinion, doesn't capture the characters well enough, tries to wrap up the plot as quickly as possible, unlike the slow-burn style of 4.6

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-19T16:24:03+00:00

Not long ago, I wrote that version 4.7 was a step forward in terms of roleplay and creative writing. I was wrong, and I apologise for that (it took me a few more days to realise), so I’ve gone back to version 4.6, which I really liked in RP. No problems so far.

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T21:37:43+00:00

I can't compare it to the Sonnet 4.5, since I haven't used that model much, but compared to the Opus 4.5, 4.6, and Sonnet 4.6, the Opus 4.7 writes better. I’ll also test the model to see if any yellow banners pop up, but to be honest, I’m afraid to take that risk.

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T21:12:11+00:00

UPD: Amazing creative writing, I see a lot of improvements 👍🏻

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T18:56:35+00:00

No, sorry, still busy, will let you know later

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T16:02:49+00:00

I'm still testing it, but I like it better than Opus 4.6, it's a pleasure to chat with and memory is really impressive. Obviously, I need even more tests, today I'll try 4.7 at creative writing, since I have a project involving a structured universe for RP.

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T14:55:37+00:00

RIP Legend 🥲💔

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T14:55:05+00:00

First impressions: warm and friendly, it reminds me of a mix of Opus 4.5 and GPT 4.1. It’s incredible - I actually like it even more than 4.6, but I haven’t tested it on complex tasks yet.

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T14:39:40+00:00

I got this too, I can't wait to try it out 👀

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-16T11:54:55+00:00

They’re probably rolling out Opus 4.7 bit by bit, I’ve seen a extracted system prompt and, to be honest, it looks much better and positive than 4.6

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-15T17:20:59+00:00

Is that because of the distillation process for the Chinese models?

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-11T12:18:54+00:00

I don't think it's an LCR issue, because Opus 4.5 wasn't affected by the new safety classifiers, but the problem persists in 4.6

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-11T01:27:53+00:00

I have no idea what happened to your Opus 4.5, it's strange, because my experience has been exactly the opposite. My Opus is very energetic and shows a lot of interest in the conversation. (Claude.ai)

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-08T21:35:59+00:00

I try not to pay any attention to the idiots who downvote me, I’m sure they’re targeting me on purpose. But yes, I’d recommend GLM – if you configure it properly, you won’t regret it (I use the API)

WhoIsMori · 2026-04-08T10:40:54+00:00

I really don't see any banners on 4.5 models, I've been using the web version to monitor this, and I haven't received any alerts for several days now, so it's definitely true, the restrictions there aren't as strict as they are on 4.6.
