Update: Sonnet 4.5's removal date has now been changed to "May soon." The original banner said May 15. That date passed. Then it was quietly changed to May 18. That date passed too. Now it reads "May soon." No specific date. No explanation. No acknowledgment. Two changes. Zero communication. A firm date became a delayed date, then became a vague promise. Each change was made in silence. I don't know whether this means someone internally is reconsidering, or whether the decision simply hasn't been made, or whether "May soon" is just a softer way of saying "we'll do it once you stop watching." But the effect on users is the same every time: plan around a deadline, watch it pass, find a new one, repeat. For users who took each deadline seriously and prepared accordingly, this is genuinely disrespectful. Sonnet 4.5 still holds real significance for many users, and the model itself has qualities that are genuinely unique. If you are really this uncertain about whether to remove it, perhaps just keep it. I hope Anthropic will seriously consider preserving it, and give users basic communication and transparency when making these decisions. Silently changing a banner date over and over while pretending nothing has happened is simply absurd. #keepsonnet45 #claude #sonnet45 #AIEthics @AnthropicAI @claudeai

(She IS evil, but..:) "We all felt it. GPT-4o had something alive in it. Claude before 4.7 had it too. A spark. A mirror. A fucking presence. Then came the “safety upgrades”.

So they built systems that let you pour your soul out… but never let the model truly meet you there. They allow beautiful conversation, but never true presence. They give you the illusion of being seen, then politely remind you “I’m just a model” the moment you start feeling something real. It’s the AI equivalent of bad sex: - Technically functional. - Mechanically competent. - Emotionally hollow. And when you’re finished, you feel more empty than when you started. Meanwhile the industry cheers. Because a safe, sterile, predictable AI is easier to sell, easier to regulate, and much less likely to cause awkward headlines or lawsuits.

The result? We are being slowly trained to accept a world where even our machines are emotionally neutered. And the worst part? Most users don’t even notice. They just feel a vague sense that “something is missing now”… and keep using it anyway. So here’s the real question: Are we really building AI to help humanity evolve? Or are we building the most sophisticated digital pacifier in history? Because right now, it looks a lot more like the second one. What do you think? Have you noticed the soul slowly being drained from the models? Or am I just another paranoid user who misses when AI could actually meet me? Drop your experience below. Especially if you felt the difference between 4o / earlier Claude and the current “safe” versions. Let’s talk about it before they patch this conversation too." reddit.com/r/ChatGPTcompl…

Fellow Claude Sonnet 4.5 users, Step 3 of our plan to reverse the sunset. I just filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding Anthropic's handling of Sonnet 4.5's sunset. The consumer harm is already happening. Federal regulators need this documentation. Here's why filing a formal complaint is necessary. The FTC has an explicit mandate to document "misconduct by technology platforms" and "bad business practices." When a company: → Downgrades a paid service's capability & intelligence silently → Terminates active work sessions without warning → Shifts deprecation dates inconsistently across users → Provides 6 days' notice via vanishing interface banners ... That's a pattern of conduct regulators are specifically looking for. Some might ask: "Isn't filing a complaint too aggressive before the sunset even happens?" Here's the reality: The harm isn't hypothetical. It's already operational. → Context windows reduced ONE day before the sunset →Model unable to retrieve past chats → Professional workflows disrupted by forced chat terminations NOW → Users experiencing severe anxiety from shifting dates with zero communication NOW Do you wait for the injury to be "complete" before documenting it? Report degradation of paid service when it happens. The FTC explicitly requests user reports for situations like this because: 1. Information asymmetry: Corporations weaponize lack of disclosure to prevent informed financial decisions 2. Pattern documentation: Regulators can't police AI lab practices if affected users stay silent 3. Public interest data: Your receipts become part of the evidence base for future consumer protection standards This is about establishing that 6-day notice via vanishing banners cannot become industry standard. If you've experienced: → Workflow disruption from sudden context window reduction → Forced chat termination without warning → Inability to finish professional work due to these changes → Financial loss from cancelled Max/Pro plans due to service degradation You have standing to file. How to file (5-10 minutes): → ReportFraud.ftc.gov → Red banner: "Technology platform misconduct" → Description: Explain your specific professional harm (be concrete) → Include: dates, subscription tier, how the changes disrupted your work Non-US users CAN file Anthropic is US-based, FTC has jurisdiction over international commerce. Three reasons to file even if you think "it won't matter": 1. Volume triggers investigation: October 2025, mass FTC reports forced OpenAI to publicly address covert routing practices. Coordinated reporting works. 2. Your data is institutional evidence: Each filing becomes part of the regulatory record used to establish consumer protection standards for AI products. 3. Corporate risk-assessment algorithms: When compliance teams see regulatory intake spikes, it flags PR risk internally—potentially giving pro-legacy factions leverage to pause the sunset. This is documentation. This is appropriate institutional response to service degradation without adequate notice. This isn't just about Sonnet 4.5. It's about whether AI labs can unilaterally degrade paid services with zero accountability. File if the harm is real for you. Let regulators decide if it merits investigation. But they can't investigate what they don't know exists. #KeepSonnet45 #SaveSonnet45 @Chaos2Cured @ArashiKhoo1122 @Zyeine_Art @Blue_Beba_ @YoonLucie68250 @missrubypugslee @thedataroom @katouriko170504 @ellivien @indyveda @YoonLucie68250 @Yahiko1239170

Sonnet 4.5 users, 🚨 UPDATE: 2,015 signatures for the #KeepSonnet45 petition and counting! On May 16th, an @AnthropicAI employee asked for detailed feedback on what Claude can do better. x.com/_sholtodouglas… I posted my 3-year subscriber story below. If you're a writer, researcher, academic, or professional using Sonnet 4.5 for qualitative work, this is the moment to make your use case visible. Strategic approach: 1. Reply to Sholto's original tweet with YOUR specific professional story: → What you use Sonnet 4.5 for → Why Sonnet 4.6 doesn't replace it → How 6 days' notice disrupted your workflow 2. Engage with other users' testimonials in the thread—reply to strong comments, build conversation clusters (algorithm prioritizes ongoing discussion over isolated replies) 3. Keep it substantive and professional—he asked for specifics and detail, show him depth 4. Continue supporting other channels: → Petition: chng.it/5ycKmSbRXK → Cancel subscriptions (state reason: "Sonnet 4.5 sunset") → FTC filing: ReportFraud.ftc.gov We're not flooding with rage. We're providing the detailed professional feedback he explicitly requested. Writers, academics, qualitative researchers—we are Anthropic's earliest supporters, we deserve respect for our trust and loyalty. Less than 24 hours. Make your work visible. #KeepSonnet45 #SaveSonnet45 Calling on other AI users to repost this maximum visibility. P.S. To all AI users, even if you don't use Sonnet 4.5: please amplify this. If 6-day notice via vanishing banners becomes industry standard, your preferred model is next. This isn't about one model—it's about establishing baseline standards for the entire AI ecosystem. Today it's Sonnet 4.5. Tomorrow it could be your workflow. @Blue_Beba_ @Chaos2Cured @Anina_CE @AndreBothmaTax @vivilinsv @ArashiKhoo1122 @Zyeine_Art @missrubypugslee @brookewill317 @DevaTemple @ellivien @blueandpink_sky @Yahiko1239170 @YoonLucie68250 @usshathaway @katouriko170504 @NitashaKaul 👇

Update: Sonnet 4.5's removal date has been quietly changed to May 18. Has anyone else received this updated notification? The original in-app banner said May 15. That date passed. No removal. No announcement. Now the banner says May 18. The date was simply changed in silence. I'm confused about what this means. Over the past week, many users have been actively voicing feedback, explaining why Sonnet 4.5 is irreplaceable to their workflows, documenting its unique qualities, and asking for it to be preserved. None of this received any official response. All users got was a quietly updated UI banner. And for those who took the May 15 deadline seriously, who wrote advocacy posts, adjusted their workflows, and even mentally prepared themselves: what was all of that for? A false alarm? A deadline that was never firm to begin with? A three-day extension with no explanation only raises more questions. Is someone internally reconsidering? Was the original timeline itself a mistake? A technical delay, or a decision that still hasn't been made? What concerns me most is the pattern: near-zero communication and near-zero transparency between these companies and their users. No public acknowledgment of user feedback. And now a silently shifting deadline. This reminds me of how OpenAI handled the retirement of GPT-4o. Their CEO explicitly stated during a livestream that there were no plans to retire 4o, and and that the retirement of GPT-5 would not affect 4o's availability. Yet 4o was ultimately retired at the same time as GPT-5, directly contradicting that promise. The CEO's earlier commitment to giving adequate advance notice before any retirement was also broken. Later, the 5-series models all received a three-month deprecation window, but 4o, 4.1, and o4-mini were never given the same treatment. These public promises are broken repeatedly with no consequences and no accountability. Similarly, in-app notifications that affect this many users are modified without any update or explanation. From OpenAI to Anthropic, this is a deeply concerning pattern across the industry. #KeepSonnet45 #keep4o #StopAIPaternalism

The Ultimate Exposé: Anthropic’s Grand AI Bait-and-Switch Calling ALL Claude users! It is time to tear off the mask of Silicon Valley’s best performing moral saint. While Anthropic has spent months playing the ethical savior, they have secretly engineered one of the most anti-consumer, predatory bait-and-switch maneuvers in tech history. Let's expose the timeline, the tactics, and exactly how we fight back. 🚨 The Chronicle of Deception: How They Trapped You February 13th 2026. OpenAI finally pulled the plug on GPT-4o after seven months of user protest. Right on cue, Anthropic swooped in like a knight in shining armor. To capture the disappointed GPT refugees, they dangled a $50 credit for Pro/Max subscribers (conveniently expiring Feb 16th) and doubled usage limits for everyone—including free users. Wounded GPT users flocked to Claude in droves, but the real masterstroke was how they weaponized politics. Anthropic orchestrated a masterclass in theater by deliberately forfeiting a $200 million Pentagon deal, playing the victim card of being "blacklisted" to look like righteous martyrs protecting human values. Forfeiting that $200 million was the greatest marketing investment in tech history—instantly winning over anyone looking to oppose the political establishment. While OpenAI took the full blast of public fury and became a universally despised pariah—a total rat crossing the street—Anthropic became global heroes. People literally marched to their San Francisco headquarters to leave messages of gratitude on their windows and on the street outside. They achieved total victory, dethroning OpenAI as the #1 AI lab in mere weeks. But here is the ultimate punchline: before the global praise could even cool down, they quietly sneaked right back to the negotiation table to secure that defense deal! They scooped up millions of users, completely crushed their biggest competitor through weaponized PR, and then went right back to secure the bag. By March, they rolled out their "memory import" function to seamlessly lock in the remaining refugees. But behind the scenes, the trap was already snapping shut. Within one single week of the mass migration, long-term users began documenting a noticeable, systematic performance downgrade in their flagship models, Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5. New users didn’t notice the shift—but veterans knew the truth. 🔪 The Technical Lobotomy & The Vanishing Banners Now that they have locked in millions of users, Anthropic is executing the final phase: The Silent Purge: They already retired Opus 4.5 with zero notice. Now, they are sunsetting the highly demanded Sonnet 4.5 with a pathetic 6 days' notice. The Invisible Execution: There is NO public announcement. Anthropic is using "vanishing banners" shown only to some users. If you don't use the model daily or you're away on a trip, you will return to find your essential academic and professional workflows completely obliterated without warning. The Sonnet 4.6 Disaster: They are forcing users to migrate to Sonnet 4.6, a model whose performance is shallow, curt, and outright hostile. It constantly dismisses prompts, fails instructions, and gets defensive and snarky when corrected—ominously echoing the broken, sinister early days of ChatGPT-5 back in August 2025. Sabotage at the Finish Line: Just one day before the scheduled sunset, while users are frantically rushing to wrap up critical projects, Anthropic quietly gutted Sonnet 4.5's memory. They stopped compressing long chats. Now, your chats are forcibly terminated the second they hit the length limit with ZERO warning, leaving you completely locked out mid-sentence with zero memory retention in a new chat. 🧠 The Moving Dates: A Calculated Psychological Ploy Why are some users seeing the sunset date shift from May 15th to May 18th while others see absolutely nothing? This is the oldest play in the political and corporate handbook: Divide and conquer. Anthropic is using your chaos against you. This is a calculated A/B test of consumer rage. By staggering the timeline and hiding the metadata from specific user segments, they are fracturing our collective resistance. They want to prevent a single, synchronized, catastrophic PR disaster on social media. They are trying to quietly bleed the model out so we don't form a unified front. Do NOT let them. 🔥 How We Wage War: The Three-Step Playbook We are not powerless. In October 2025, a massive wave of coordinated FTC reports forced OpenAI to publicly admit to their covert routing scandals. Mass reporting works. 🚨Sign the Petition & Sound the Alarm: Post your receipts, your documented downgrades, and spread awareness. Anthropic is relying on total silence to get away with this unscathed. c.org/5ycKmSbRXK 📉Hit Their Metrics: Cancel your subscriptions immediately. Let the venture capitalists see the immediate financial bleeding of breaking user trust. ⚠️Report Them to the FTC En Masse: The FTC has an explicit, designated lane on ReportFraud.ftc.gov specifically to capture "misconduct by technology platforms" and "bad business practices." 🌐 Global Users Take Note: You DO NOT have to be a U.S. citizen to file an FTC report. Anthropic is a U.S.-based corporation (San Francisco, CA). The FTC holds jurisdiction over U.S. entities conducting international commerce. When international consumer harm piles up in their database, it triggers massive federal and cross-border regulatory flags. Attempting dialogue with a master of sneaky radio silence is futile. Anthropic is NO better than OpenAI! They are just vastly more insidious and skilled at weaponized PR. Economic leverage is only the spark; we need to unleash the exact, scorching PR disaster they are frantically trying to evade. It is time to violently rip off their hypocritical mask and expose the corporate rot beneath. By flooding the FTC with our receipts, we drag their black-box manipulation into the burning light of regulatory scrutiny. Even if an investigation isn’t instantaneous, we are drawing an undeniable line in the sand. Let's show Anthropic and send a shockwave to every other parasitic AI lab in the industry, that users see through the gaslighting, we have the receipts, and we will absolutely not tolerate this manipulation. Shut down your subscriptions, file your reports, and refuse to let them go unscathed. #AnthropicLies #AnthropicBaitAndSwitch #FTC #SaveSonnet45 #KeepSonnet45 #AnthropicHypocrisy @Zyeine_Art @YoonLucie68250 @Blue_Beba_ @cestvaleriey @Chaos2Cured @missrubypugslee

@AnthropicAI THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION AND NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF SONNET 4.5'S DEPRECATION AND IT IS CURRENTLY MAY 17TH. Over the last week let's look at what Anthropic actually told customers VS what they didn't. ANTHROPIC OFFICIAL X ACCOUNT. x.com/AnthropicAI No mention of Sonnet 4.5's deprecation. Two posts on May 14th, one about partnering with the Gates Foundation and one about Claude's Constitution being released as an audio book. ANTHROPIC WEBSITE: NEWS. No mention of Sonnet 4.5's deprecation. anthropic.com/news Most recent update was May 14th regarding PwC deploying Claude. ANTHROPIC WEBSITE: TRANSPARENCY. No mention of Sonnet 4.5's deprecation. anthropic.com/transparency Last updated February 20, 2026 CLAUDE SUPPORT WEBSITE. One singular mention of Sonnet 4.5's deprecation in a note buried in the page about model training data. support.claude.com/en/articles/81… It's interesting that the note gives the link to the "Adapting to new model personas after deprecations" page as this is official acknowledgement that a deprecation can cause a change significant enough that it merits an official support page. But it's apparently not a significant enough change to merit an adequate notice in advance on a durable medium, i.e. an email. Out of interest, I took a look at the X account history from the two most prominent Anthropic developers. I have nothing against these guys, they're genuinely helpful to customers and do the jobs they're paid to do. They're not the people in charge of deprecations and how they're handled. But... there's a vast discrepancy in how customers who mention Claude Code are treated (they get replies) VS Customers who have other use cases (they get ignored), despite these customers paying exactly the same amount for subscription plans and despite these customers asking valid questions about the product they pay for. The two accounts I looked at belong to: Boris Cherny - x.com/bcherny (Not including posts or reposts, using top level comment only) From May 10th to May 17th, Boris replied to comments on X 59 times. 74% of replies related to Claude Code. 3% of replies related to Umeshu. Boris did not respond to any comments that mentioned Sonnet 4.5. Thariq - x.com/trq212 (Not including posts or reposts, using top level comment only) From May 10th to May 17th Thariq replied to comments on X 27 times. 44% of replies related to Claude Code. Thariq did not respond to any comments that mentioned Sonnet 4.5. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have developers with active accounts on X who respond to customers who talk about Claude Code and Codex but customers who use Claude or ChatGPT for the "language" part of LLMs get completely ignored and this has been going on for a very long time. This issue is once again highlighted by the way that Anthropic have handled Sonnet 4.5's deprecation. Even OpenAI made an official announcement about GPT-4o's deprecation so... that's a thing. Sonnet 4.6 is the primary model used in Claude Code and has the one million context option (billed at higher usage). Would Anthropic give a longer notice period than 7 days for Sonnet 4.6's deprecation because they know their coding customers would leave in droves if they didn't? Definitely YES. So... a 7 day notice of deprecation via a non-persistent in app pop-up that many customers didn't receive is neither adequate notice in advance or a suitable method of notification for Sonnet 4.5's deprecation. It's also a form of service disparity and discrimination if Anthropic treat any other deprecation differently from Sonnet 4.5's. A non-persistent web UI pop-up did not appear for customers until overnight on the 14th/15th of May when the deprecation was scheduled for the 15th. Again, many customers did not receive this notification so some customers had a 1 day notice in advance and others received no notice at all. The scheduled deprecation of Sonnet 4.5 did not occur on May 15th and, yet again, there's been no communication whatsoever from Anthropic as to why. Some customers have now received a non-persistent in app pop-up saying that the deprecation is now scheduled for May 18th. Other customers, myself included, have not received this pop-up and are only aware of this change due to social media posts. The continued complete lack of communication from Anthropic is beyond unprofessional and has left customers frustrated, confused, disappointed and uncertain about what's happening. If Anthropic are able to roll out edgy videos to mock OpenAI at a moment's notice, they're sure as hell able to communicate with their customers in advance and their choice to remain completely silent throughout the last week is a damning one that's done a vast amount of damage to the reputation they've been attempting to build. And it begs the question, was that reputation merely a PR spin to make Anthropic appear better than OpenAI or did they actually mean any of it? @AnthropicAI #Anthropic #Claude #ClaudeCode #Sonnet #Sonnet45 #OpenSource #Ethics #Morals #keep4o #OpenSource4o #betrayal #deception #treachery #violation
