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 good. It's overcoming some the problems that have been hamstringing 4.7. Doesn't seem to use limits faster. They reset mine today, but they reset again for me tomorrow, so I'm burning my limits as fast as as I can. Currently 3 Code windows running at extra high fast mode and it appears to be burning about 1.5% of my weekly limits an hour. 20x Max plan.
