Opus 5.5 drops, community jokes it'll get 'nerfed to Haiku 3.5' within a week

User vasuman quipped upon Opus 5.5's release that you have "one week to squeeze every ounce of intelligence out of it before it gets nerfed down to Haiku 3.5" — mocking how frontier models allegedly degrade quickly after launch. Another user replied that doing frontier AI research is the way to keep full access. A classic community jab at the "launch-day peak" phenomenon.
