Prompt

Stickman lightsaber fight rerun, Oct 1 vs Oct 20The post doesn’t quote the prompt wording.

Author’s verdict
They say the Oct 20 rerun is as good as launch, maybe better, and the only big difference is that it used more tokens.

@DanielZambrini’s view (paraphrased)

Claude Opus 5.5 at Max reruns the author’s stickman lightsaber fight test on a lava bridge on Oct 1 and again on Oct 20, cut back and forth. The author asks whether Opus 5.5 was really 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.
