Claude Opus 5.5

I find fascinating the complexity on some parts tho.

also set to just use opus 5.5 for harder tasks

I’ve had opus5.5 push back… in one case I explained it’s a game, and yeah, we made a game that does exactly what I wanted to do.

in terms of creativity, creating new things, yeah opus 5.5 is fantastic

Opus feels faster and lets people work longer

Astra and Opus 5.5 are great, but even what they make might not even be worthy the lowest tier indie games.

I can’t even put reasoning traces in front of opus 5.5 without hitting a “reasoning extraction” claude code notice guardrail?

it catches many mistakes made by Opus 5.5

Opus 5.0 and 5.5 (still) feel more like steering dependant

i am still getting the same push back

made a very simple mistake, and another simple mistake, again

nearly unlimited use

it is also little slow even compared to Astra

It solved all the issues I had in 2 days, when I was thinking about working for 10 days with GPT

I thought Astra was good until I had Opus 5.5 look at the code it generated

Opus 5.5 is better at code reviewing than 6.1 Sol

holy fuck he is getting me crazy on how slow he is at doing tasks

waiting on my weekly reset there

Agent rules are more strongly adhered to than claude.mds are at least with Opus 5.5

outright ignores what the user has stated as facts and doesn't ask when those dont align

Opus 5.5 is a mind blowing leap and barely sips use.

I get about the same amount of usage with opus 5.5 on the claude 20$ sub as I get with astra on the 200$ plan. very worth switching.

claude opus 5.5 in VS code extension does not

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

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

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.

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

graphics would be 10x better

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

Fr I cant stress enough how amazing Opus 5.5 is in that category.

Its super fast too. Not better than astra but atleast 5x faster

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

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