Livenerf project asks whether Opus 5.5 has been nerfed

Original: Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?

A GitHub project called Livenerf is drawing attention with the question of whether Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model has been nerfed, or quietly made less capable. The discussion, popular on Hacker News, taps into ongoing concern among AI users that model providers degrade performance over time without notice. Commenters are debating how to measure such changes and whether perceived drops are real.

Why now: Users suspect AI model quality may silently decline after release, a recurring controversy that reignites with each new version.
