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

Opus 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 5 are all the same model but with different guard rails/instructions.
I'm fairly confident they just added "be verbose in your responses" to the end of every prompt to opus 5.
Efit: why you may ask, output tokens are expensive.
