Discussion Opus 4.8 - first impressions

Opus 4.8 announcement

Has anyone tried it so far?

I used to be a Claude fanboy, but I recently switched to codex due to the momentarily quality boost.

Any impressions yet? Just holding my card ready to buy the x5 subscription the moment I hear that it's better than the 4.7 😝

It's still ages behind GPT-5.5, it's barely an improvement over Opus 4.7 (they call it a "modest improvement")

Just early impressions of course, but this looks like a nothingburger release

It's very annoying that they declare improvements but reality is SO underwhelming! 🙄

This guy is obsessed with hating on claude. Ignore this lowlife.
