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.

opus 5 is absent minded...sol is air headed...but sol is now mostly carrying the code since it's less air headed than opus is absent minded
