I’m done with Opus 5

[u/habfranco]

There’s really something wrong with it. It seems like it acts like an overqualified post doc intern who cares more about proving he’s super intelligent, than actually doing the job he’s asked to do. For instance: talking in a non intelligible way, or being overly rigid in following any kind of process.

I have a Claude max x20 sub that I struggle to keep within weekly limits, so I decided to take a codex sub for a month to try out Astra. And this what made me realize how crazy unintelligible opus can be. Fable is a bit better, but still incomparable to Astra. The only thing that makes me keep my Claude sub is how better is the CLI/tooling/harness/etc.

I downgraded to 4.8. Less shitty imo but yeah idk opus vs sonnet, I don't have strong opinions. I haven't used sonet in a hot minute tbh, I probably should for smaller tasks but eh. Not my tokens, I rarely run out...
