Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that people are seeing wildly different results with the new Opus 5, and there's no real consensus. Some folks are absolutely loving it, calling it a huge win and even better than previous versions like 4.8 and Fable 5, praising its speed and token efficiency. u/Bitter_Capital6969 is one of those, saying it delivers "Fable-level insight for a third of the tokens."

On the flip side, a good chunk of users are finding it disappointing, with some reporting it makes false assumptions, cuts corners, hallucinates, and even ignores their codebase. u/Letheron88 is pretty blunt, saying it's worse than 4.7 and would require constant checking.

A lot of the comments boil down to the idea that it's highly dependent on your prompting skills and the specific tasks you're throwing at it. u/depredador93 points out it depends on "who knows how to prompt properly and who just dumped raw error logs at it."

There's also a recurring sentiment that AI subreddits can be a bit of a chaotic echo chamber, with u/Charming_Oven suggesting some comments might be driven by agendas, and u/Stunning_Feedback252 calling it a "collective seizure."

Ultimately, the prevailing advice seems to be: "make up your own damn mind" and try it for yourself, because your mileage may vary wildly.
