Claude Opus 5

opus 5 is great at coding, as long as you use hooks to make him shut the fuck up and to block commentary as well since he tends to write 3 comments for every 3 lines of code

I had good results with Opus 5 too in spite of its painful tone & verbosity. Very competent model.

5.6 Sol/Opus 5 and better models can for example handle my governments ridiculous electronic forms and all associated bureaucracy much better than I can

most convoluted and jargon-filled output

In cases like Opus 5 it's near impossible to overcome

Opus diligently verifies their claims and fixes things

"ah, but Fable is sooooooo dangerous, as is Opus 5" is just a terrible hand wave

I will be a Opus 5 slave for the foreseeable future

Opus 5 is my best coder still, but Astra is finally producing comparable results to it. They both burn comparable tokens on a clean context spin-up, but Opus burns less once I'm iterating on an existing context.

Opus 5 tends give too much priority to minor typos/linguistic choices, adopts a pedantic and adversarial approach to doc reviews, proposes unwise strategies and glosses over important details. It also has a somewhat shaky understanding of E

Opus 5 as subagents

100% agree with your description of Opus 5 lol

Opus 5 and Sonnet 5 the experiences people have are very inconsistent. For some people Opus 5 is solid, others like me do not trust it outside of mockups and plan mode

Opus 5 on High is orders of magnitude slower burn - but I do see a difference in result quality

Same experience here. Usage drain too fast as well which wasn't the case before or few days ago.

opus 5 is better than both but you need to make it recheck everything it made with cold reviewer because it always makes mistake
