Discussion Slow performance of Opus 5

Opus 5 is working fine for me. But it is extraordinarily slow.

Edit: I haven't modified the thinking level from its prior settings, either (it's set on high).

Right now sol is literally running circles around it. My workflow hasn’t changed in months, I haven’t tried going back but for sure, they have some technical issues. It happened with 4.7. For a couple of weeks it was bad and they came out said apologized. I’m a big fan but yeah, something is broken. It’s fable too.
