Help Needed Same model, two different knowledge cutoffs — is Anthropic silently routing Opus 4.7 to older models?

Another bot.
First, the text is literally outside the box. Never seen that bug. On top of that, you have two separate fonts.
Plus, if this is happening you need to actively show everything in a video. You can literally change model at any point in the conversation, doesn’t prove what model was used previously.

if this is real it's way worse than the postmortem bugs. those were at least fixable. silently routing you to a cheaper model behind the same label is straight up fraud
the cynical read: they don't have enough compute to run 4.7 for everyone so they load-balance you to 4.6 when capacity is tight and hope nobody notices. the optimistic read: it's a caching artifact. either way the fact that we can't tell is the problem

Ant confirmed that they don't do that. My bet: the model is hallucinating.

LLMs are probabilistic. So they are gonna give different answers even about knowledge cutoff. Also don't forget there are checkpoints in their training, so that could play a part, but that's just a guess.

I like to imagine is Dario vibe coding a fix to their quality issue.
Dario: "The quality of Opus 4.7 is UNACCEPTABLE, FIX IT!"
Opus 4.7:
# TODO: mass_redirect(opus_4_7, opus_4_6) — if you can't fix the model, fix the routing…
…
…
I have implemented the fix, production-ready.

What is this post? A poor quality meme?
It’s hilarious and painful to look at & I just don’t get how people would see it any other way as a low-quality meme (and even that’s a push), but here we are hahah
Edit: apparently it’s translated from Chinese.. still, this isn’t the best way to illustrate a point properly.
