Prompt

Author’s verdict
They prefer the launch run: the tower may have slightly more detail now, but the buildings, trees and river look worse, and one run doesn't prove a nerf.

@EnvolDev’s view (paraphrased)

Claude Opus 5.5 reruns the author's Eiffel Tower benchmark with the same prompt it got at launch. The author prefers the launch result: the tower may be slightly more detailed now, but the city around it looks worse to them.

Same model, same prompt, run on different dates: one sample each, not a controlled test. Model outputs vary from run to run, so the poster’s claim is not verified here. All same-model-over-time posts.
