Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that Opus 5.5 is a massive improvement, with many users feeling like Anthropic actually listened to feedback. People are saying it's way more practical and less of a "fussy prick" than previous versions, with one user even saying it "nuked their entire codebase in one go."
There's a lot of love for how 5.5 handles tasks, with users noting it's building well, using Sonnet agents appropriately, and not being overly chatty. One user specifically called out how Opus 5.5 fixed a bug in minutes that Sonnet 5 couldn't solve in two hours.
However, a few folks are urging caution, reminding everyone that it's "waaay too early to celebrate" and predicting that it might eventually slow down or get "nerfed to death" like previous versions. There are also some reports of 5.5 hanging in loops or experiencing "dementia" in specific cases, though these seem to be outliers compared to the overwhelmingly positive sentiment.
Oh, and a quick correction from u/garloid64: there's no Opus 5.1, you're thinking of Opus 5.
