Anthropic — I’m Neurodivergent so I can say this, but I thought opus’s 4.7 was...

opens 4.8 is out, and there's a few updates. This right here, this adaptive thinking, this is the biggest change, because this is the reason why we're complaining that it's just eating up all the tokens, and like the simplest of requests, like looking at a file, or running a command locally. That's not going to do that anymore. Well, they say it's not going to do that anymore, but we'll woozy. Pay attention to this one. This changes a lot of people's workflow. Opus 4.8 is now defaulted to high thinking ability, or thinking level. Make sure to change this to what you normally use, so you don't burn a lot of tokens. This will burn a lot of tokens. I'll be honest here, comparing 4.7 to 4.8. The changes are insignificant. It gets such a small move that I would never have made marketing around this, but people complain about 4.7 so much. I think this is just like positive spin, and they just made the changes that everyone was complaining about. So we're back to probably an hour more efficient, 4.8, which was what 4.7 should have been.
