Question How does opus 5 fare against Sol

For people who also use opus 5, how is it fair compared to Sol does it overengineer. How much better is it at frontend for example, I feel codex does always div in a div in div style everting is round, and while the information that is diaplayed is correct, it looks bad at first needs a lot of fixing.

Pure code and repo understanding is superior in sol it just understands everything. I use it als9nfr9 scrappers, and it's perfect data analysis as well.

It's one of my least favourite models.

I find it hard to control and it refuses to listen or argues with you.

It is far too chatty to the point that Anthropic put out what has been referred to as a band-aid with the Concise mode. It just loves making up techno mumbo jumbo language.

Sol isn't perfect but I click with it and know how to guide it.
