For me, Claude 3.7 was a noticeable step down across a wide range of tasks when compared to 3.5 with the same prompt. Benchmarks are one thing, but for real life use, I kept finding myself switching back to 3.5. Wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to figure out what happened there and how to prevent that in the next version.

I was a little disappointed when the last thing coming out of Anthropic was their MAX pricing plan instead of a better model...
