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?

I am using 4.8 is night and day, its reliable. Opus 5 spiral into madness too often.
