Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The issue is opus 4.6 has been significantly nerfed. It's now an unusable toy that can't do anything without significant handholding far beyond what any other model currently requires and it's not isolated to complex work. Even the most simple of tasks are a nightmare with this crap.

What Should Happen?

I want a refund and for your company to fix this crap. It's classic bait and switch, anti consumer crap. I'd also like to see regulations and lawsuits but, we know that wont occur.

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by waiting for an update or fix from the developers, as the problem is reported to be a regression in the latest version of Claude Code.

Guidance

  • The reported issue seems to be a regression in the latest version of Claude Code, suggesting that a previous version worked as expected.
  • To verify the issue, try using the Claude Code with simple tasks to see if the problem persists.
  • Since the issue is reported to the developers, waiting for an update or fix might be the most straightforward solution.
  • If possible, try to find the last working version of Claude Code to confirm the regression.

Notes

The lack of information about the last working version and error messages/logs makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution. The issue seems to be related to the latest version of Claude Code, and the developers should be aware of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for an update or fix from the developers, as they are already informed about the issue and its impact on the users.
