is Opus 5.5 nerfed?
I just had Gemini 4 Argon analyze 1,400 Claude Code sessions and it found that on November 3, something definitely happened.
the model name didn't change, but the way it does reasoning took a sharp turn.
Believe me, today I met someone who still copy-pastes code from chatgpt.
He told me he couldn't afford AI subscriptions, so I suggested applying for the GitHub Student Developer Pack or trying OpenCode with free models.
@akramcodez Another free route for him if he's a student: Google gives students a full year of a paid Gemini plan free — AI Pro in the US, AI Plus in 140+ other markets. Needs 18+, enrollment, SheerID verification and a payment method; redeem by Dec 31, 2026.
