What people think

While I understand what it’s saying, a lot of the times it says things in such a dense way where a human could condense / simplify the meaning so i don’t have to spend all my brainpower understanding the sentence and actually get to the logic/problem lmfao.

I would manually log into my online banking, I would let Claude select the payees and then insert the amount to pay via playwright or chrome connect. I would be the one authorising the payment, but with the Opus 5.5 And a few other versions that I've tried, including Sonnet it seems to refuse to do any of the work!

Original post ↗

As of the latest update, I cannot even get Opus 5.5 to create a fictional user in my test database to test the login UI because it refuses to handle password inputs altogether.

MixedGeneral text

“Sure, Opus 5.5 benchmarks better than Fable. Sure. But is that the model, or is that the RL for agentic work?”

MixedCoding

“Opus 5.5 (I use it for work writing C#) seems faster than Opus 5, but it doesn't seem demonstrably better to my eyes and is still prone to word vomit”

NegativeUsage limits

“I can run Claude Opus 5.5 on x high for 12 hours and burn 12% of my week”

NeutralReasoning

“This is indeed impressive — the algorithm research that Claude came up with itself does seem to have some genuinely new stuff”

这个确实牛逼在, Claude 整出来的这个算法研究本身,看起来确实有些新东西

NegativeUsage limits

“Opus 5.5 + Fable 5.1 on a $200 plan/heavy workload/single task eats about 15%/day”

PositiveSafety & refusals

“I have yet to have Opus 5.5 block me from doing any of my usual security testing, validation, and remediation work under the CVP.”

MixedReasoning

“Opus is clearly better in logic and processing steps, but often skips some or does something else entirely”

NegativeRoleplay / creative

“graphics would be 10x better”

Comment context
Original post ↗

It started from one prompt I typed into Claude Code: "*using only pixels directly remake a beautiful pokemon red remake … absolute pixel art perfection.

Original post ↗

* No image files at all. The game draws into a 320×180 screen pixel by pixel.

PositiveImage understanding

“Opus 5.5 has significantly better vision, which might mean for game dev you're using it more”

MixedLocal deploy

“Opus 5.5 provides the smoothest LLM experience i ever had, but it did one very odd thing where my macbook ram went full and i had to restart the machine to continue”

NegativeImage understanding

“Neither Astra nor Opus 5.5 could recognize that a UI design with cropped borders—caused by insufficient padding—was problematic.”
