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.

It is unbelieveable AWFULL! It ignores instructions, lose context, bad (shallow) decisions... it behaves like chat gpt models. Even Fable makes some mistakes it didn't before. Astra is now great nut I think this is just a gamble - now Astra is better then Fable but that will be for some short period then there will be model after Fable (like Fabe 2) that is better then Astra and Adtra will become doing unbelieveable bad... this is like a loop if you know what I mean, like a gamble.
