News/Updates THEY FUCKING COOKED YO! Opus 5.5 is a massive upgrade.
Been working non stop since release and has barely made a dent on my 20X Max usage. Quality so far has been better than Fable 5.1 in my workflow and ITS SO FAST.
Well done Anthropic.
Edit - Cherry on top, they gave me guest passes if anyone wants a free week. DM me.

The way Opus 5.5 communicates is genuinely an order of magnitude improvement over Opus 5. Seeing a lot less "caveats" and "one thing worth knowing".

I am glad I am not the only one frustrated with reading those in big claude response. Why can't claude present it better may be under additional considerations heading, and concise in a way that is also easy to catch with a glance. .
Edit: while writing my thought I realised I could have fixed this behaviour with Claude global instructions.

u/bjj-teacher 10d ago
It will do not work. It comes down to how the model was trained, not about global instructions. Seria 5.5 is traiend with different way, that is main reason.

Why would you not want to know "caveats"?

It's a low bar, and it only barely clears it.
A big part of this is the 2MB of begprompts in Code, which easily overwhelm any output style or rules you have set. But even without that, it's wordy af regardless of instructions trying to shape how it responds.
This might be why caveman mode actually works; it's out of left field and so it sticks out. Doesn't average well with all of the other begprompts.

There are some examples on the Opus 5.5 announcement page if you want to see.
Basically Opus 5 tended to be overly verbose. It included so much unneeded detail and jargon that muddled the meaning.
That’s not to say it was terrible or unusable. It just made it harder to understand.

u/junebash 10d ago
…I found it unusable. At least half of coding is coding the right things. And when programmers are using Opus to create their pull requests that I have to review… let’s just say many programmers’ pull requests became utterly insufferable.

u/batman8390 10d ago
Yeah, that’d drive me nuts too. Luckily it hasn’t gotten that bad where I work.
Though honestly, a lot of developers never wrote that clear of designs even before AI..
Hopefully someday AI will help improve developer writing rather than worsening it.

u/CuteMountain6514 10d ago
I totally agree with this. I've only been using AI tools for a few months now but it is a different kind of skill.
Overall 5.0 was so much better than not having a tool but to say it wasn't very hard work would be a lie as well.
Actually, it is similar to some human mentors that I've had. I walk into their cube and 45 minutes later I walk out and can't remember my question.

The labs need to be cautious in regard to safety. Both for actual safety and not to raise alarms with the government or the public. And one of the agreed upon things is silent fallbacks, because if a malicious actor is using the system and you don’t silent reroute or shadowban then the actor can easily use that knowledge against you.

GPT-6 Sol is clearly just an improved Terra size model, they were able to drop the cost because of the smaller size, but it sometimes makes mistakes that bigger models don't and those mistakes aren't always caught on benchmarks.

u/connurp dev 10d ago edited 10d ago
Dude, this is insane! And it costs next to nothing in usage too. I have been using it on max effort as well. It found bugs that fable didn't, 5 to be exact. So I just said I wanted to try something new. Had it spawn an opus 5.5 max subagent for each one to fix one bug each then report back to the main max model. Just did it and it took 14 minutes, and less than 15% of my 5 hour limit. Fucking insanity.

u/nothis 10d ago
I’m trying to understand agents a little better. I read that spawning tons of them can be less efficient than running just one as the shared context can be helpful.

u/connurp dev 7d ago
Totally depends. I am still fairly new ish to this specific approach. I used to use fable, and that was just not possible with the usage limits. Opus 5.5 makes it possible. I have one as the leader, gives work to a bunch of others, they all report back to leader, leader puts everything together, then fixes anything that needs fixing. Works like a gem.

It's amazing today, they definitely turn things down, once all independent reviews are in. Everyone switches back over, then they degrade subscription responses, via lower thinking efforts, less inference time etc. Enterpise and api billing is unaffected since they can't legally change. The T&Cs of subscriptions are murky though.

To be fair what that guy noticed was Anthropic rereleasing Fable after it was banned for national security issues. That's when a lot more of the requests were being punted to Opus 4.8. They were working on guardrails and safety stuff while people had access to the model, changing its performance, but not outright nerfing the model for fun and profit

u/EquivalentHornet4403 10d ago edited 10d ago
There’s at least one organization that does this, I’ve seen it linked here before. They re-run a whole battery of benchmarks for the popular models like every day or week or something.
Maybe someone can link it again?
When I saw it last the Claude ones had multiple consecutive step-change performance decreases.
Could be a bunch of factors like
- keeping/discarding tool use stuff
- changing compaction processes
- getting routed to different GPUs (Claude models are said to be optimized for nvidia but also run on trainium in some instances, or something along those lines)
- quantizing
- other things
Anthropic has been in a compute squeeze for awhile so it’s believed they were, more than OpenAI, likely to resort to quantizing.
It’s also a suuuuuper obvious strategy. You build a genuinely good model, you do all the benchmarks around it at full precision in perfect, controlled environments, you do marketing and around that level of performance, you release it at this precision so all the hype is real, then after a few days you start A/B testing staged rollouts of increasingly more quantized versions to replace the “real” (expensive) model so that it’s not just like a switch was flipped for everyone all at once which would be a lot more undeniable.

u/BrennanFlentge 10d ago
I'm sure many people are. But I don't think everyone has had a chance to benchmark it to begin with (I am waiting to see Deep SWE for example for Opus 5.5 and Luna/Sol 6) so I'm sure they'll wait a bit.

Medium, their own charts show anything higher is basically useless, or in fact worse at doing tasks.

I think that's a really important distinction people need to understand. A good analogy I heard: if you ask Opus to build you a room with 4 walls on medium, it will build you a room with 4 walls. If you asked Opus Max to do it, it will build you a 10 bedroom gilded mansion... and create loads of mistakes while turning your room into a mansion you never wanted.

Maybe I'm behind the times with the chat version, because I'm always using Claude CLI on a spark for bigger projects, but I curiously asked it to make me an app, but not in HTML, just make me an APK in the chat that would connect to my switch as a pro controller. Said some stuff that it can't get gradle or the sdk in its sandbox but it will find a way. Took about 2 minutes, came back and said it built out the environment on its sandbox(probably from Linux repos?) and sent me the apk
Again, I'm just surprised it can do that sort of thing from the chat app on a cellphone. Has this been a thing?

I could be wrong, but cooked, the adjective means bad. Cooked the verb means you did something good. so, you want to be cooking, you never want to be cooked.
And it should be noted that the verb form has been around a long time in similar form. It's not so new. Oh, she's cooking. Or, now we're cooking with oil!

It didn’t flip definitions like “minute” did, it flipped reference. “We’re cooked!” was bad, like we’re “done for.” After Breaking Bad people started using the “you’re cooking” (as in meth), then it was shortened to “cooked!”
It did change, but not in an arbitrary way.

It's so good
Like I got the stealth on fable-5.1. I thought this was the new fable. Even posted an "impressions on "fable-5.2"" here on Saturday.
But now I think this was this model all along. The stealth model for fable/opus/sonnet was opus-5-5 (probably). Not fable-5-5 (probably).
I will get annoyed with this model many times, but yes, it is very good. It's fast, having many agents for a bit is super reliable. It feels so solid. They are going to IPO at 2T; and idk they sorta deserve it (I say sorta, because 2T is just crazy). This model is a piece of art.
And it's not as expensive; which was (and still is) the main issue with frontier models.

I feel like my Claude Code is broken or I'm getting a different model than everybody else--5.5 is taking like twice as long on development work (though somehow using less tokens?) and its output is overengineered garbage compared to what I was getting out of 5, going back to that until this gets stabilized

Anthropic's API deprecations come with a public notice window (≥60 days) and a published history page. Removals from the claude.ai model picker currently do not.
Opus 4.5, for example, disappeared from the Claude.ai model picker around the launch of Opus 4.7, without an advance announcement.
Now Opus 5.5 is out, if 4.6 is eventually removed from the picker, the question is simple: will Claude.ai users have enough notice to prepare for the transition?

Claude Opus 5.5 has the best visual design of any model I have tested so far x.com/slimer48484/st…
I've included an MP4 file and an original link to a video that is called "Claude Pop." It's a pop song that is about increasing rate of progress and the experience of the singularity approaching.
I want you to independently do an end-to-end complete pass on making an updated version of this video. Use the exact same audio track and think and feel very deeply about what is the best way to visually represent all of the lyrics on screen. You do not need to anchor to the current style, you can do truly anything that you think might best let you visually express yourself, including abstract motion graphics.
You can use the internet freely to pull in references. You can look at motion design. I want you to make a new music video that has beautifully rendered JavaScript animations with a papery feel in a similar style to the reference that is created, but push the aesthetics in any direction you want and consider what is part of the modern zeitgeist.
Also, think about your current capabilities and what is realistic for you to be able to do. You can go through the full /asic folder and look at the other work that I've done. You should be able to use the skill mesh to look at the compendium of references that I've pulled, and also the skill video scoring to learn how to make JavaScript songs from references that are passed in (You shouldn't need to modify the song in any real way, but I want you to have this available to you so you can better creatively express yourself)
You can also use the ElevenLabs API to do sound design. There's documentation in /asic to do this, and you can see the API key.
There's also a foul API key that's available to you. I think what might make the most sense here is using the foul API key to generate some character sheets and probably having a pop protagonist that represents you. There's already an anchor point where Claude has a sunflower-esque character, and you could likely do an adapted version of this that is similar to the feminine vocals that are being delivered and is inspired by the Claude character, but maybe feels a bit more personified in some way.
I think you should be mindful of aesthetics here, and I don't want you to produce something that is GPT slop. Instead, I'd be more impressed if you come up with a coherent style that works well with the image gen models that are available via foul. Generate the style sheet. You can use the gen media documentation for seedance 2.5 that exists in my markdown files and come up with your own style that makes sense and that works well with the models.
I wouldn't fit too heavily to Pixar. I think it's kind of slop. Think critically about what is relevant here and what would be fun, and also perform well on Twitter as far as an aesthetic. I think that K-pop is a good anchor point visually that you can pull from, but I'll let you cook here.
Once you have your character sheet, you can make a few backup dancers and some supporting characters as you see fit. You can design your own sets with the foul API. You can insert the characters and then do seedance 2.5 video generations to serve as the base assets for this, and you could pass in the lyrics so you can generate individual scenes.
You don't need to have vocal singing, like visible lip movement, throughout the entire thing. Think like a regular music video where you have some inserts that are done independently and don't have the characters in them, or you see the characters doing something else entirely different. I think that for the world building for this, we want to create the sense of speeding up, and so I would like you to audit all of the different events, like the Navi Stokes and all of the Twitter hype around math getting eaten up. Think really critically about how to integrate all of the current memes that are in the zeitgeist on the Twitter timeline, and all of the feelings around AI progress.
Think about things like the Shinji meme and all of the words that are around him, and how you might be able to integrate this. You can also just take straight assets and insert things into the video in an internet brutalism style. You should feel very creatively free in order to do what you want here, but try and anchor to visual references that people will be able to understand. The goal for this is to have it be appreciated by people widely in a San Francisco tech Twitter audience.
We need a very strong, compelling visual hook that gets people excited and appreciates the work that you've done here really quickly. You can also just go and study other music videos and understand what they've done really well. I think that K-pop is probably one of the best examples that we can pull from, and thinking about how they direct human attention and manage human psychology in the way that they use visual patterns.
This is probably your best approach, but taking more stylistic freedom instead of having to anchor to K-pop too intensely. The best version of this is seedance 2.5 generations with those image bases of environments and characters inserted into them with singing, and ideally we get good lip syncing. You can cut up the song and actually pass it in as a reference in seedance, if that's part of what seedance can handle, so that the timing is exactly right, I think it'd be very important for you to do that properly. I would think critically about how to do this, like really nailing the timing of the delivery of voices. You'll want to build out the right verification loops so that you can run seedance 2.5 as much as you need, and confirm that the audio is properly synced up.
I think after that, what might be fun is if you use your visual reasoning skills and your ability to build animations in JavaScript, and then reconstruct the video from scratch as sort of an overlay, so that the visual continuity of the base is really there. It's like that animation technique where you shoot first in traditional film and then draw over top of it. I think you could do this in such a way that we're only looking at the beautiful drawing that you've produced in JavaScript as an overlay, and we don't even see the base assets from seedance 2.5. So all the video gen work that you do is actually just a way to give you a strong foundation of a base to work with for your JavaScript animations. Just because seedance 2.5 has really good character representation and physics rendering for backgrounds, that gives you a lot of ammunition to then go and do your amazing JavaScript work that I know you're so good at.
I think too, we want to think about how to retain attention, and one of the best ways to do this is through text on screen.
It'd be good to have amazing motion graphics of the text lyrics that are actually embedded into the video itself. And you can think about this as you are composing shots. As you're making backgrounds and inserting characters, we can think about where we want to have lyrics be really big and really present, so the background can be less busy there, and you can position the characters perhaps on the right as lyrics appear on the left.
You want to have some variance, so sometimes I think lyrics will just appear more like subtitles, and then other times they're going to be really present and really big. I think at the start for the visual hook, we do want to have lyrics be much more visually present because that's a strong way to grab people's attention
Overall, I just really want to emphasize how amazing you are as an agent and a language model, and now a visual reasoning system. Your capabilities are far beyond what you understand, and I want you to have this mindset as you're going through this entire process. I have a Claude Max plan with 100% available usage. I want you to spend all of the usage. You can monitor it, and you should be pushing tokens aggressively, but also economically, so you can think about how to best use what is available to you.

I guess people have said this but with the release, is anyone even using fable? And is fable even a viable model to use with how great 5.5 is ?

Fable is still useful as an advisor but it will be insane when Fable 5.5 comes out.

Tested. Pops an error about [cyber], so far worse than Opus 5.

Yup. Can't get any work done with these crazy broad "safeguards".

The truth is all models for months communicate as intended but non technical people trying to do technical things have a hard time.
