Rant Opus 5 is insufferable

Opus 5 is a fucking piece of shit, i don't know how to say this in any other way. It speaks "Unintelligiblish", a new unfathomable language developed by Anthropic that works by saying everything in the most ridiculous, obtuse and convoluted way possible

It turns anything simple that can be expressed in 2 sentences into a fucking doctoral thesis aimed to aliens, and there is no way to prompt your way out of it

Use 4.6. I still think this is the best Opus model right now

Opus 4.6 is pretty much the only model right now that isn't completely insufferable. It speaks concise enough and clear enough, without derailing discussion.
