Author’s verdict
They say the Oct 20 rerun of the Sep 30 Mentos prompt came out worse, and ask whether Opus 5.5 was quietly nerfed.

@ivanainai’s view (paraphrased)

Claude Opus 5.5 runs the same Mentos-and-cola simulation prompt on Sep 30 and again on Oct 20, stacked top and bottom. The author says the Oct 20 run looks worse and asks whether the model was quietly nerfed.

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.
