I heard that Qwen4 was dropping some time soon, I wonder if Anthropic is trying to announce a new model immediately after Qwen4 - both for their IPO, and to kill the competition.

I am using Opus 5.5 high almost exclusively. I definitely felt this and looked for nerfing watch sites. It felt like downgrading to the old version of deepseek. Things have improved a bit now.

It's just a new summarizer, the model and performance itself is umchamged.

+1, this tells nothing about the quality. Or even whether this is an upgrade or downgrade.

With open weights, YOU get to decide when the model changes.

Not true at all, there's much more to a model than its weights.

Yes, I noticed it too, dumbing down continues, there goes their IPO.

They're preparing to release a new model, so it has to look better than the current one.

Definitely a significant change. I noticed it in just daily work. Quality of work down, mistakes up, repetitive errors in scripts - rare earlier, now a few every session.
