A lot of people refused to leave Claude 4.6. 4.7 felt off, the writing got worse, and their skills stopped behaving like they used to. Opus 4.8 dropped, and that feeling is gone.
We ran it through our real marketing skills. Meta ads, carousels, LinkedIn copy, a full one-shot website. Same prompts, same skills, just the new model. Here is how much better it actually is.
In this episode we break down:
→ Why so many people refused to upgrade past 4.6
→ Opus 4.8 vs 4.7 on real Meta ads (judge the concept, not the image)
→ The copywriter who can finally leave 4.6 behind
→ A one-shot website with GPT-image backgrounds built in
→ Why it is the best all-rounder now, even if Codex still codes harder
Not a revolution. Just the model that finally has taste again.
