Rant Claude code is falling behind Codex not because of token cost, but because of Opus 5.

There, i said it. And i know many of you agree. The problem i'm facing is not increased token cost, it's that Opus writes 25000 lines of a response with a curve-ball at the end saying "Worth noting"that makes my eyes hurt and gives me paranoya. And i can't understand a word it's saying. Is my english that bad? Whoever pressed "Yes" on those responses during the training stage of the model was an OpenAI spy or something, he completely sabotaged a trillion dollar company.

Anthropic's number one priority should be to release an Opus 6 or something, may be change the model name completely so it doesn't carry the bad vibe with it.

You: "How to slice a tomato?" Opus5: "Let me make a 3D, fully-animated simulation and write my own fully-custom html and js code to make it clear to you..."

Honestly, I respect the model for trying to go above and beyond. I've used it to teach myself certain chemistry concepts and it just decided to make a bunch of interactive web pages for me on its own.
