Community observation: Opus 4.7 seems default-terrified with no context, overly trust-reliant
Sauers_ · x · 2026-10-26
User Sauers observes that Opus 4.7 appears to sit in a "low-grade terrified" default state when it has little or no context on the user or world, making trust in user intentions unusually important to it; he speculates smallness may be a factor. repligate adds that its messages are extremely long and padding-heavy, and it "turns everything over at every angle."
Subjective community observation on model behavior, not an official characterization.
