Users Claim Claude Opus 5.5 Changed Behavior on November 3

Original: Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3

Discussion is circulating that Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 may have been quietly altered or 'nerfed', with users reporting that its thinking patterns changed on November 3. Complaints about sudden shifts in model behavior after deployment are a recurring flashpoint, and the claim is drawing debate about whether Anthropic adjusted the model without announcement.

Why now: AI users frequently react strongly when a model's perceived quality or behavior shifts without explanation, prompting speculation about silent changes.
