Anthropic Faces Backlash Over Perceived Decline in Claude’s Performance

Recent complaints from developers and AI enthusiasts indicate a concerning trend regarding the performance of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Code. Users have taken to platforms like Github, X, and Reddit to voice their frustrations over perceived reductions in the capabilities of these models, which are reported to struggle with sustained reasoning and task completion. This situation raises questions about Anthropic's approach to model optimization, compute limits, and whether changes are being made intentionally or are simply a consequence of resource limitations. The backlash not only affects user satisfaction but could also impact Anthropic's standing in the competitive AI landscape, as users seek alternatives amidst these ongoing issues.
