It looks like Claude Code switched the default model to Sonnet 4.5, even for max users who are paying for Opus. I had to set the environment variable ANTHROPIC_MODEL=opus to get opus back. Sonnet 4.5 indeed acts like a drunken monkey on the math-heavy legacy C++ codebase I'm working on.

Is it worse for you?
Yes, Sonnet 4.5 was noticeably worse than Opus on my codebase.
