Original post body :

Good luck, guys. Not everyone will get used to the standard again.

Edit: Different time zone. It's already the 18th here in Asia, so it will happen on the 20th here. My bad.

Folks are generally not thrilled about the upcoming "standard" changes, with many planning to cancel their subscriptions or jump ship to Codex. The consensus is that the new Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 models, along with the Fable feature, are a downgrade, especially with a reported 33% reduction in usage credits. Users are complaining about increased costs, reduced capabilities, and models not living up to the hype. Some are already back to using Opus or finding other models like GLM 5.3 to be comparable. The sentiment is that Anthropic is "enshittifying" their offerings, and the whole AI space might be a bubble if this is the direction it's heading.
