Anthropic says Claude Code did get worse — but shoots down speculation it 'nerfed' the model

Anthropic said it found issues with Claude Code after users complained the tool had gotten worse, but denied intentionally 'nerfing' the model. The report suggests a product-quality or performance concern rather than a financial or strategic setback. Market impact should be limited absent evidence of broader model degradation or customer churn.
