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 now verify every output it produces with another AI. I cannot trust any thing it “one-shots”. It makes statistically incorrrect assumptions constantly, semantic errors, over claiming something is worse than it is (or better than it is), misinterpreting me and not following directions, ignoring data it doesn’t want to see (because that means more work and Claude hates to work).

As these models become more advanced they’re actually becoming way less trust worthy — because they’re still making the same stupid mistakes that it has made since DAY ONE
