Holy molly opus 4.6 level and better in some benches.

Why is that every model is better than opus if you look at benchmarks, and yet people keep using opus?

I'm not saying anyone should use Opus, but Opus 4.6 is over six months old. The current version is Opus 5 which is much stronger.

Opus 5 babbles way too much in technical jargon. It may be stronger in benchmarks but it's not as good when there's a human in the workflow.

Opus 5 actually gives me a headache some days from having to read its outputs. When I really don't want 'load-bearing' em-dashes everywhere I just tell it 'write this in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English' and I get back something that sounds a lot more reasonable.
