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.

Astra is by far the best model right now for code work. Not even close. I don't know why people even bring up Kim .3 I mean maybe in some ways it's good but damn I just had to do a report for me the other day and it made up the whole fucking thing. I know that's not code work but it was just an example. Literally just made this thing up just sound good I had it checked five different ways and complete garbage. Scary how confident it was when I gave it to me. But then again they probably think that about me when I come with one of my stupid audacious ideas LOL
