I just subscribed this month again because I wanted to have some fun with my projects.

Tried out opus 4.6 a bit and it is really really bad. Why do people say it's so good? It cannot come up with any half-decent vhdl. No matter the prompt. I'm very disappointed. I was told it's a good model

because they’re using it for different things where it works well and that’s all they know?

Because it was good until January 2026, then it detoriated into a opus-3.1. Probably given much less context windows or ram.

And yet another "AI doesn't work" comment without any meaningful information. What were your exact prompts? What was the output?

This is like a user of conventional software complaining that "it crashes", without a single bit of detail, like what they did before the crash, if there was any error message, whether the program froze or completely disappeared, etc.
