User accuses Anthropic of silent quantization "psyop," says it erodes trust across AI field

User @ryunuck escalates claims that Anthropic silently quantizes Claude models: perceptive users spotted it months ago ("Opus 5.5 was too good, too little noise"), and users who reported degradation were gaslit all year. He argues that without a quantization indicator in the Claude Code TUI, this is a trust-destroying "psyop" rather than a business decision. Interlocutor @avion2323 offers a motive: serving perfect outputs lets competitors distill their own models via the API, so vendors are pulling up the ladder.
