The Pre-Launch Opus 5 Reversal Post That Set AI Twitter's Expectations: 'I May Have Been Extremely Wrong About Opus 5'
Hours before Anthropic's July 24 launch, a widely-circulated post read 'Okay I may have been extremely wrong about Opus 5... this demo is going to blow the entirety of AI Twitter's minds tomorrow,' drawing 1,018 likes and 276,867 views. It is a useful marker of how the discourse was primed — the poster was publicly retracting prior skepticism based on a pre-release demo, which is a different signal from the usual launch-day enthusiasm. Worth logging mainly as calibration data: the actual expert reception a day later (Mollick's 'quirky,' Vo's love-hate verdict, Reddy's 'still behind Fable') was considerably more mixed than the pre-launch framing predicted.
