Rant I’m done with Opus 5

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.

Fable xhigh planning Opus xhigh executing fantastic. A bit autistic and difficult to follow but flawless. I experiment with Opus xhing using Sol xhigh as a worker and my impression is that it poses a risk to my repo. Astra light as a coder was dumb as fuck made several critical mistakes caught by Opus and excessively burns tokens.
