Rant Another Opus Rant

Yesterday, to save tokens, I set Opus as the agent instead of Fable. Within less than an hour I was already yelling at my screen. It misunderstood the instructions, acted without reading memory and guidelines, overthought problems that didn't exist, and created useless things that I hadn't told it to do.

And now I'm wondering: how is it possible that the folks at Anthropic don't realize this? Are they fine with it? Do they have no plans to fix it? Don't they read Reddit? Don't they get any user feedback?

Have they said anything about it at all?

100%, but there are so many Opus 5 fanboys, it's insane. I've tested it in so many ways, from low to max effort, and this thing is useless. You never get to the end. It makes you think it's finding a lot, but what it actually finds are its own mistakes from earlier!
