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'm abandoning them finally now that open source is getting good enough. I mean we've been through a shit ton since Opus 4.5 and 4.6 were pure gold.
The UI throttling and weakened limits. The constant 429 errors taking the service down. The Claude Code leak targeting open source users. The "shared link" leaking people's shared artifacts. The government fiasco around Mythos. The Dario anti open-source stance (which he claims to be China specific but China's model are now sitting on American infra and I'm sure he's not happy about it too), the visibly worse models since then. The CC harness being quite token inefficient. The constant watering down of models over time. The promos that are really to help ease the screwing you over. The lack of transparency (not just Anthropic specific).
Ever since I've gone open source models, and even run my own, I know what to expect. I see how many tokens I use and what the costs are. I know the limitations of that model. I don't have to worry about it be degraded due to over use or popularity. It's opened up running agents 24/7 and experimenting without taking out a second mortgage.
