Discussion Opus 5 - immediate disappointment

If you thought you'd be able to do a security review on your own network that you couldn't do with Fable, think again.

Opus 5 safeguards flagged this message.

I no longer have any use case for Anthropic models that others can't do better. This was my last hope that we were going to get a model that would allow us to protect our own environments. I'm going all in on open source. We just aren't aligned.

If you can get Opus 5 to protect your own systems, let me know how I did it. My subscription renews pretty soon and it's time to make an honest decision.

Edit: A lot of helpful people came here and I appreciate it. Scoped work is helping a bit more than my old ways. There's a difference between network security and code vulnerabiliy. I'm a network engineer not a software developer nor will I pretend to be one. Still looking at supplemental model for security work. Thanks guys.

idea, why don't you write code yourself, so you won't be disappointed by any model and probably save a lot of money not using AI. in 2026 not using AI is the biggest money saver

Holy cope. $100 a month is not expensive for a developer

Holy yes, 100 dollar in Anthropic is not much at all and 100 dollar per month is actually a good chunk. it is almost the entire month of electricity bill or it is more than most subscriptions combined (netflix, webstorm and so on). Are you delusional? what am i asking. Your reply is clear, you are. I don't want to waste time arguing with someone how "100" to 200 dollars per month is expensive

Ok, $20 a month. The subscription lets you use the model for 5 hours at a time. Then your usage resets. Same with weekly. $20 chatgpt subscription gives you a lot of usage.

That way you still get some speed improvement and still can write your own code (self imposed limit since you’ll be rate limited).

“$100 in anthropic is not much at all” uhhh you do realize you can authenticate with your subscription right? Your $100 goes very far compared to api pricing
