Opus 4.7 is weird

Reddit user reports subjective quality regression in Claude Opus 4.7 compared to 4.5, citing reduced intuition and increased need for explicit guidance.

Without prompting, Claude signed off with 'Narf.'

Any idea why? I've searched the sub and didn't find an answer. Results online are, personality, long token count, and a reference to a DOD contract. This is a fairly new chat. Narf is a reference to Pinky and The Brain.

/model claude-opus-4-6

I've been using 4.7 since it was released, gave it my best effort, for complex tasks it is still a hair better than 4.6 but for any sort of planning that involves discussion, 4.6 is so much easier to work with and communicate with. i feel like they reduced the thinking budget and the model responded by just putting those tokens into the response, every response is a book that goes over things multiple times; significantly more false assumptions. I find myself having to go back to a previous message, then explaining something to avoid a false assumption in basically every planning/direct...

Claude is connecting directly to your personal apps like Spotify, Uber Eats, and TurboTax

Claude users can access more apps with Anthropic's AI now thanks to new connectors for everything from hiking to grocery shopping. Anthropic already supported connecting numerous work-related apps to Claude, like Microsoft apps, but this expansion focuses on personal apps like Audible, Spotify, Uber, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, Instacart, TurboTax, and others. Some of these apps, such as Spotify, already have similar connectors in OpenAI's ChatGPT. Once an app is connected, Claude will suggest relevant connected apps directly in your conversations, like using AllTrails for hike recommendations. A...

Anthropic’s Mythos breach was humiliating

Anthropic's tightly controlled rollout of Claude Mythos has taken an awkward turn. After spending weeks insisting the AI model is so capable at cybersecurity that it is too dangerous to release publicly, it appears the model fell into the wrong hands anyway. According to Bloomberg, a "small group of unauthorized users" has had access to Mythos - whose existence was first revealed in a leak - since the day Anthropic announced plans to offer it to a select group of companies for testing. Anthropic says it is investigating. That's a rough look for a company that has built its brand on taking AI ...

Did claude just change their token window to be 5h from exactly when you start?

Usually the Claude session window always starts and ends on the full hour but today I just noticed it's not matching up with the full hour. Another small change is they removed the refresh button from their UI so you can't see your real-time usage without refreshing the whole page. Is this happening for everyone else? Are they changing some things about their usage limits?

You’re about to feel the AI money squeeze

Earlier this month, millions of OpenClaw users woke up to a sweeping mandate: The viral AI agent tool, which this year took the worldwide tech industry by storm, had been severely restricted by Anthropic. Anthropic, like other leading AI labs, was under immense pressure to lessen the strain on its systems and start turning a profit. So if the users wanted its Claude AI to power their popular agents, they'd have to start paying handsomely for the privilege. "Our subscriptions weren't built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools," wrote Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, on X. "We wa...
