OPUS 5.5 (LAUNCH) VS OPUS 5.5 (TODAY). HERE WE GO AGAIN. 😢 People are questioning whether Opus got worse after launch. I reran my original monster prompt for @aimlapi. First the house. Now this little guy. The launch version has softer lighting, little toes, and a much more expressive reaction when you feed it. Today’s looks like someone made a cheaper toy based on the original. Two unlucky runs, or an actual downgrade?
