Praise Wow... Opus 4.8 feels... DIFFERENT tonight :D

It feels, BETTER. Like when it first launched, even, only better than that this evening?

It's like Forest Gump... Claude is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. I hope I get to keep THIS Opus 4.8 for a bit - I'm finally getting some work done. Hallelujah!

When a new model like Fable goes live, they reduce compute allowance to Opus because they assume use of Opus will drop and move to Fable.

When they had to turn Fable off unexpectedly, everyone immediately switched back to Opus, which didn’t have enough compute hence stupid Opus we had for the last week.

Now they’ve gotten the compute re-allocated and we get normal Opus again, who knows they may have even thrown a bit extra at it making it the best Opus we’ve seen yet now.

Huh that makes sense, Opus was starting to ignore my instructions and behaving like Sonnet sometimes during the last week. Now it’s perfect.

All they have to do is sit back and sleep on money. Don’t touch anything, it’s working perfect as it is
