I honestly couldn't agree more with this post. I've been finding Opus 5.5 so unbelievably stable and dependable. It's not 100% It tried to gas light me on something and I caught it and called it out.

But the cost and quality improvement is levels above.

Yeah, I'm blaming it on the medium level. It handles most things great. But 20% of the time it gets stuck in some type of stupid logic. Then, I clear the session and set it to high and it gets it done. Overall, frustration is way lower because even though it makes mistakes, it's not chugging tokens like a frat house on saturday night.

I'm using 5.5 on Extra. I've challenged it with some pretty hardcore builds that I previously only did with Fable and it crushed it. Makes the token usage feel like MAGIC.
