December 2025 was the breakthrough for me. January Claude was euphoric, ChatGPT was up there. February Gemini cooked for a second there. March amazing. April the big bad nerf. May GPT 5.5 is just pure bliss altough 2x limits temporarily, not sure about Claude it's sort of okay still not as good as it felt before, slowly increasing limits with more compute and rebuilding good will.

I find your emotional language truly quite fascinating. I've heard people talk like that about drugs.

Similarly, I've heard people talk like that about things that are not drugs.

I think Opus 4.6 at its peak was the "how can anyone not get that this is good" for me.

Then the nerf, and the massive uplift in tokens for 4.7, a model which I find lazy and prone to hallucinate.

It's probably time to try GPT5.5. Like many I'm pretty heavily invested in the anthropic ecosystem at this point, which I suppose gives another strong reason to make the switch.
