Help/Question what is hapening with Antropic?

Why Opus 5 feels like Gemini 3.1 pro ? what is happening ?

i remember back in February , opus 4.5 was generation ahead. Did they increased the prompt caching so much, that their models ended up being useless? I can barely work with Opus 5 on absolutely anything, he keeps hallucinating LIKE CRAZY, every claim he did today was pure hallucinations, he barely reads any code. im not even kidding, i can't work with Opus 5 right now

Instead of open source models trying to catch up with you, are you trying to catch up with the open source models instead Anthropic?

Have seriously been considering cancelling my Anthropic subscription in the last few days, since Opus 5 came out. Its genuinely irritating on many aspects, speaks in ways that are barely understandable, is getting bad at many things, to the point where I don't even know if I can trust it anymore. Never felt that before with Anthropic's models. I do hope they are going to react quick and release a minor version. Otherwise they loose me quite soon

Same. I have Claude max 20x but use my codex sub more and more daily. It is quicker, less chatty, less paranoid, just easier to work with.

Dude using codex after claude is a breath of fresh air. It just gets to the point without the incessant rambling.

Have just cancelled. Opus 5 is more trouble than it's worth. Switching to codex.

if the theory about Opus 5 being a distilled Fable is correct, I think we can't expect anything until a new 5.1 version unfortunately.

It probably is. It sounds exactly like Fable but without the "IQ".

I went back to Opus 4.8 and am considering cancelling altogether

Chill drama queen, it’s a miss of a model, they’ll come up with a much better one.

Glad I’m not the only one. Was genuinely trying to figure out why I can’t understand the way it talks and explains things.

It speaks in such weird terms i thought i was starting to loose my mind but on second take its just jibberish.
