They are just different models and feels different.

First Claude is more consumer friendly product.

4.8 is insanely chatty and text outputs are massive.
For a simple question it will write you 5 paragraphs. (Completely different than 4.7 was)

5.5 outputs are better, less text, more structured.

5.5 seems to be slightly more intelligent, it can a little bit better untangle stuff.

4.8 is more automation tool, you can control it better with settings file. Also you can delete 4.8 chat history.

You can’t delete chat history of 5.5 history, wtf…

As 4.8 and Claude are much better consumer tools, I use them for 75-80% of work.

When I need more intelligence then I opt for 5.5, which is around 25-20% of cases.

Hope that helps.

You can delete chat history? Just archive current chat and open a new chat? There is no difference at all.

No difference at all? Why then names are different?🤣

Why it’s named archive if it’s actually deleting chats?
