Opus 4.7 has been a real downgrade for me. I’m back to mid 2025 when I had to catch all the completely intermediary goals/assumptions the model is creating for itself
My "mental scratchpad" needs to be as sharp as possible to maximize my intelligence. I think of the LLM as a scratchpad for my thinking, I hope the Anthropic team can see this.
it's sort of good at thinking, writing specs, etc.. Also debugging. But as a coder: I see no advantage to opus 4.6 and I preferred sonnet most times already over opus 4.6.
