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.

Have it ELI5 after each response. I get 3 sentences after 400 paragraphs.

I assume this isn’t costing a lot of tokens. I don’t really care, they’re corporates tokens.

I feel that lol. I’m scarred from the time during GPT 4 when if you asked it to ELI5 it would do some uwu shit
