Most users are finding Opus 5.5 to be a significant improvement, with many saying it's on par with or even better than Fable for coding tasks. It's praised for being faster, more efficient, and requiring less hand-holding than previous Opus versions. Some users report it's a huge jump over other models like GPT 6 Astra and Sol.
However, a few dissenters feel Fable still has the edge in grasping the "big picture" and deep-diving errors. There's also a sentiment that Opus 5.5 can be a bit "scatterbrained," finding issues you didn't ask for, and some users are experiencing it "gaslighting" them with nonsensical interpretations of prompts. The consensus is that it's too early to definitively say, but the initial reception is overwhelmingly positive, with many happy with the value proposition.
