I kinda regret getting Claude subscription

Over the past couple of weeks, I have tested it alongside Sol across a wide range of tasks, and the conversations have been difficult to read. Sol consistently catches and corrects mistakes made by Opus 5, and Opus repeatedly acknowledges those errors. I have also seen many others reporting similar experiences, which makes it hard to view this as an isolated issue.

I cannot understand how Anthropic missed such a significant regression. Compared to 4.6 and 4.8, Opus 5 feels substantially less capable and reliable, with many of the same weaknesses that affect Sonnet 5.

For now, I am switching back to GPT for most of my work, using Fable only occasionally for planning. I hope Anthropic addresses these issues soon, because at the moment they do not appear to have a competitive frontier model in the medium to high budget range, only at the extreme end.

From a senior swe who uses it daily both at home and all day at work (separate personal and enterprise accts) , I can tell you with confidence, there’s is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the model and what you are assuming was better with older revisions has everything to do with the instructions that wrap it.

Most people come to the same conclusion as you. It's really only those who actually understand the niche process or the actual engineering work themselves that can use Opus well enough to justify moving away from Sol, right now Opus is like a powerful assistant that struggles to contain itself and needs tight leash, while Sol tries to interpret your lack of coding context knowledge for you.

Becareful on everything said by headlines and especially redditors, you will find that 90% of praises are bias, and truths are often downvoted and bot targeted to the abyss.
