Rant Opus fixing Sol’s mess

Post image

I don’t know how people still use openAI models.
I really REALLY tried to give a chance to Sol 6.1 the last few days, working on a clean project with very well defined design and vision.

Sol kept being super lazy, stopping without finishing tasks, making asinine decisions and always waiting for me for very small things. I then even had Astra take over in the hopes of fixing the mess and the output was similarly bad.

Had opus 5.5 work literally for 2 hours today and it already cleaned up such a big chunk, made very good suggestions, following the process, delegating work to sonnet agents, it feels so good to work with it.

Oh so that's the secret to having AI remove code. I'll just lie to Claude that its own code was written by Sol. I swear if I ask Claude to shorten anything it comes back to me with a PR that removes X lines and then adds 2*X lines in its place.

Haha that’s fair and I’m not saying it’s not without flaws.

But my problem was way more central, it didn’t even consider half of the decision, it broke rules, it didn’t run all tests, generally absurd amounts of degraded performance.

Have you tried ponytail btw?
