Opus 5.5 praised as daily driver as scholar urges Anthropic not to nerf Max value
omarsar0 · x · 2026-10-04
AI researcher and commentator omarsar0 says Opus 5.5 is one of the best daily-driver models he has used via API, and that resubscribing to Anthropic's Max plan revealed how much more durable the subscription has become with the new model — a stark contrast to the earlier Fable-era experience, which he calls terrible and useless. He hopes efficiency gains continue so users can squeeze more value out of every token, and pleads with Anthropic not to nerf Opus 5.5.
