All Claude models got nerfed BADLY
It got nerfed to a ridiculous extent. Using Opus 4.8 Max now often feels worse than using the old Haiku models. It barely takes the time to think, doesn’t do proper research, keeps gaslighting the user. Overall, its the usual issue people attribute to LLMs models , except here is amplified to ha shameless level What’s especially frustrating is that the entire Opus 4.8 launch focused on its supposed commitment to truth-seeking and reducing hallucinations. Instead, it feels like those promises didn’t materialize. My impression is that what we saw at launch was simply a temporarily boosted version of Opus 4.6 designed to create the illusion of a significant leap forward. My speculation is that the AI market is driven by hype and future expectations. Companies need to constantly sell the narrative of rapid progress, and one way to reinforce that perception could be by making new models appear dramatically better, whether by giving them temporary boosts, surrounding them with an aura of exceptional capability, or even fear ( like fable 5) or quietly degrading older models over time. I’m worried we’re about to see that cycle repeat itself once again. Another possibility is that this “nerf” isn’t even applied consistently. It’s possible that different versions, features, or system prompts are rolled out to different groups of users at different times. If that’s the case, it would naturally make it much harder for users to compare experiences and validate each other’s observations, making widespread issues look like isolated incidents rather than potential company-wide practices. Of course, that’s just speculation on my part, but it would explain why reports about model behavior can vary so dramatically and consistently all at the same time

Will Anthropic Be Banned Everywhere Else Now?
If, as reported by Wired, the US government is allowing Anthropic to release Fable 5 to select US companies (which would give them a massive advantage), then will other countries have no choice but to ban the use of Anthropic's technology, including those companies that use it, as the only way to protect their economies?
