Claude Opus 4.7 vs 4.8 side-by-side canvas test

saturated tbh, make it harder

Love these kinds of tests. Looking at them side by side, 4.8 doesn't seem like a huge jump over the previous version. More of a small incremental improvement

Yeah true, at least it gets trained with a more updated dataset

I kind of like 4.7 better in these, I'd at least hire 4.7 contractors to build my house over 4.8 😂

Haha it's fun that both were building the rooftop the same way, such a coincidence!

imo canvas is the worst place to spot a model upgrade. real diff is in the reasoning chains, not render quality

at the last test, opus 4.8 built an totally shit home, i'll prefer 4.7 for that and for other tasks opus 4.8 is just a little bit better🫠

doesn't looks smarter

I prefer 4.7 on each of them. 🤷‍♂️

noticing small tweaks but not huge leaps

i ran a test... my results weren't good:

Hot take: Opus 4.8 is less about “smarter Claude” and more about trust. Long-running work only matters if it knows when it is lost.

interesting tests....

Same prompt completely different interpretation, this is why side by side tests are so interesting

Looks worse?

@stevibe man, 4.8's got that color pop! way better contrast than 4.7 imo.

4.7 is better?

As the version number suggests. Incremental? Thoughts?

実際の見方と、個人開発での試し方を書きました。

Slightly better?

so pretty evenly matched

My mcp gives Claude access to over 40 image, video models, and SUNO 5.5. 30s install

how is 4.7 better 💀

Funny, but Opus 4.7 can draw better. Not always the shiny model being better results.

I do not see a big difference 😂 I think it is more hype than a big improvement

Opus 4. 7 and Opus 4.72

What is the purpose of these tests?

okay

It's normal for AI companies to reduce the efficiency of their old model when releasing a new one; over time, it will revert to the same point and retain the same power it had at its initial release.

I must say, hard to choose, not that difference

不觉得相同的测试在 4.7/4.6/4.5 发布的时候已经做过很多次了吗？有观察到实质性的变化吗？

Wow, its good at building visual houses now.

a casa feita pelo 4.7 é mais bonita :D

Opus 4.8 >> Opus 4.7
