I had it take a crack at a fresh design of my no algorithm news feed last night.

It recently fixed 8 very complicated bugs in my @SleyLanguage compiler in like 38 mins. This was an issue I'd been struggling with for two weeks. Claude came along and was like, "Sure I'll have that fixed by lunch." 😎

I find it so hard to put into words what makes a model feel good or bad these days, but I know that Opus 5.5 feels great

I switched my Hermes over to Opus 5.5 There's a definite vibe here that I like. I'm using it for the day to day stuff on 'low' and it's still smarter and faster, and generally nicer to work with than Astra/Sol I think

Is the “model getting dumber” a real thing on Anthropic’s models? Will this happen to 5.5?

Opus 5.5 has to compete with Astra & GPT-6 Sol though.

When new models are released, they pass the vibes, wait till after 3 months. The bad sides of the model will be discovered. SHA Opus is nice

Coming from you that's basically a certification. Somebody get this model a coffee.

The vibes are definitely high with this release. We actually went deeper on this here:
Claude Opus 5.5 just became the latest rumored AI launch for today. Here's what you need to know. A BridgeMind post says Anthropic could ship Opus 5.5 within hours, claiming Fable 5.1-level intelligence at half the price. Anthropic has not announced the model. The rumor arrives after complaints that Opus 5 was slow, while Fable 5.1 can exhaust usage quickly for some Claude Max subscribers. Testing will be needed to verify the performance and price claims. Key numbers: - $200, the cited Claude Max plan price - $5/$25 per million input/output tokens, Opus 5's official API price Claude's official lineup still lists Opus 5 and Fable 5.1.
