Recently I have been working on moving a large mature XAF application from .NET Framework to .NET Core. I was asking Claude Opus 4.8 and Fable to help me create a solid plan. However I noticed the tone and register of Claude’s writing has changed in recent versions. It seemed to use flashy phrases and vocabulary like it was trying to show off.

Somebody on Reddit said:

Opus 4.8 talks like a LinkedIn influencer who just discovered a thesaurus.
