Did Claude Opus 5.5 get nerfed? Honestly, it's pretty hard to tell. Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's newest AI model, and people started saying it got quietly made worse just days after launch. NerfBench, a tracker that tests it every day, had it at 103.8% of launch power on October 1 and 94.2% on October 2. That's a drop, but still inside their normal range. My take: the better these models get, the harder a nerf is to spot, because for the most part the output still looks great.
