I swear to God running Claude desktop is literally like using a goddamn Windows XP. I have 32 gigs of RAM in my computer yet somehow my computer always struggles to run this. Remote control mode , literally makes my computer have an aneurysm. I don’t understand why you would add all these features onto the desktop and do all these things yet make it basically unusable. I’ve never really heard anyone over on the Apple side complain about the desktop app so I don’t know if it’s just a Windows thing, but God help me. I never really have any issues on terminal. The only reason I even use desktop is for the in session searches and just cleaner text layout. We pay thousands of dollars yearly to use this shit yet they can’t even make out well round desktop app that will run efficiently. I never had issues with it like this until 4.6 came out. Every update it gets worse and now they can’t even keep there servers up.

I genuinely can’t believe how a company can go from making such amazing models to making absolute fucking garbage. I’ve been on Claude since last year have never switched even when Codex has been updating because I can tell that these models are just smarter and easier to interact with that was before. Now it’s like talking to the original ChatGPT. Every time I ask opus five to fix something it tells me it’s done and then it doesn’t fucking fix it. I’ve never had to argue with an AI before to actually just get done a simple task. I don’t understand what the process behind doing this one like it was gonna make anyone happier. But Claude you’re on thin ice. I’ve seen thousands of people switching over to Codex. The more and more this model just becomes more stupid the more and more people are gonna move off the platform. I’ve been subscribed for six months and I’m about ready to switch. I just don’t understand how you build a super good model and then you take that model and make it worse instead of easily just taking the last model putting it in the new one and updating it? The only reasoning for doing that is simply profit. The company genuinely only cares about competing with OpenAI. Yet somehow is doing worse every fucking time they drop an update. The only reason they’re even competing is cause they kept fable five on. If not, they’d already be bankrupt. You better hope that mythos saves your fucking ass. Cause when ChatGPT six drops if that shit on par or better Ik where I’m going. Sick of this bullshit. It’s like they’re making this model simply for the fact that it will never 100% do what you need to get done so it just keeps you on the platform and keeps your subscription going.

To Clarify: i’m not saying that you cannot get good results with Op. 5 what I’m saying is. I directly think that they made the model have harder language to understand, it’s more argumentative , it hallucinate over simple fixes if you do not prompt, right. With 4.8 you could type in a simple move this or move that. Or fix this or fix that. You can’t do that anymore with this and with them removing 80% of prompt injection is very difficult to get this thing to do exactly what you wanted it to do. So for the average user this model is going to feel very hard to use and it’s going to hallucinate. I think this is them really testing what they can get away with seeing that that every new model drop that comes out the model before becomes significantly more buggy and starts to become worse, intelligent wise for a period of time or forever. The only reason for doing this would to push all users that are mainly using the newest models to use the new release models so that way they’re using the most usage possible as well as for investors they can show active amount of user on new products. Which example make opus 5 (the cheaper option) dumber pushes people to use fable so more training data. More usage spend, More people on fable than SOL. Etc.
