Quoting the viral claim that "Anthropic is killing OpenAI," robinebers pushes back: most people have no idea what they're talking about and swing between models for no reason other than the grass being greener.
He concedes Opus 5.5 is amazing, but points out Astra, Sol and Luna are too — and predicts that within a week the feed will flip to "they nerfed Opus, I'm going back to Codex." He says he's genuinely tired of this cycle and it's a real consideration in quitting posting on Twitter. A pointed take on the perpetual model-hype pendulum.
