Tried out opus 4.6 a bit and it is really really bad. Why do people say it's so good? It cannot come up with any half-decent vhdl. No matter the prompt. I'm very disappointed. I was told it's a good model
Introducing a new upgraded slot machine named "Claude Opus" in the Anthropic casino. You are in for a treat this time: It is the same price as the last one [0] (if you are using the API.) But it is slightly less capable than the other slot machine named 'Mythos' the one which everyone wants to play around with.

Excited to use 1 prompt and have my whole 5-hour window at 100%. They can keep releasing new ones but if they don't solve their whole token shrinkage and gaslighting it is not gonna be interesting to se.
interesting
Or `/model claude-opus-4-7` from an existing session
edit: `/model claude-opus-4-7[1m]` to select the 1m context window version
Too late, personally after how bad 4.6 was the past week I was pushed to codex, which seems to mostly work at the same level from day to day. Just last night I was trying to get 4.6 to lookup how to do some simple tensor parallel work, and the agent used 0 web fetches and just hallucinated 17K very wrong tokens. Then the main agent decided to pretend to implement tp, and just copied the entire model to each node...
I have been getting better results out of codex on and off for months. It's more "careful" and systematic in its thinking. It makes less "excuses" and leaves less race conditions and slop around. And the actual codex CLI tool is better written, less buggy and faster. And I can use the membership in things like opencode etc without drama.
For March I decided to give Claude Code / Opus a chance again. But there's just too much variance there. And then they started to play games with limits, and then OpenAI rolled out a $100 plan to compete with Anthropic's.
I'm glad to see the competition but I think Anthropic has pissed in the well too much. I do think they sent me something about a free month and maybe I will use that to try this model out though.
> More effort control: Opus 4.7 introduces a new xhigh (“extra high”) effort level between high and max, giving users finer control over the tradeoff between reasoning and latency on hard problems. In Claude Code, we’ve raised the default effort level to xhigh for all plans. When testing Opus 4.7 for coding and agentic use cases, we recommend starting with high or xhigh effort.
The new /ultrareview command looks like something I've been trying to invoke myself with looping, happy that it's free to test out.
> The new /ultrareview slash command produces a dedicated review session that reads through changes and flags bugs and design issues that a careful reviewer would catch. We’re giving Pro and Max Claude Code users three free ultrareviews to try it out.

I don't have much quality drop from 4.6. But I also notice that I use codex more often these days than claude code
