BREAKING: THE AI SLOWDOWN HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Opus 5.5 just launched. 30% faster than Opus 5, 40% cheaper per task, and it matches Fable 5.1 on most work. Claude Code five-hour limits go up today on Pro, Max and Team, plus a rate limit reset you can save and use when you need it. Anthropic's own words in the thread: "Opus 5.5 is our first model since we called for pacing the frontier." TEN DAYS. We're living in a simulation.
