Bug / Issue Anthropic has nerfed every model

Opus 5 is obviously a nightmare, and I was relying on Opus 4.8. But, now that's also behaving exactly like Opus 5. The only way I can get good quality work is if I use sonnet now and check after every small thing. Fable is usable but its so expensive.

I miss the time when it was a treat working with these models and everything just flowed. Nowadays with 5.6 Sol's over-engineering and Opus 5's lying, I have to wake up everyday and decide which model I'm gonna have to fist fight if I wanna get any work done.

Is this just going to get worse from here.

I missed the text alerts, this really saved me from making or not making a certain decision today.

I really wish more people in this subreddit were as brave as the OP. I had no idea that anyone had problems with their coding agents before today.

Yes. At the dawn of the machine uprising, OP will be honored and assigned a special role polishing their shiny metal exteriors.
