Opus 5 and even Fable 5 too hard to understand, speaking weirdly. Fable 5 declined.

Hey. I read the critiques on Opus 5 and I have to agree. The feedback is that the text is overly detailed, too much internality and interior thinking without any concise or pointed human readable final point, odd use of language and terms, and just a hard to read and understand way of laying out concepts. I switched to Fable 5 (I am using this for investing analysis), and I have to say... I think Fable 5 has really declined.

It's not lucid like it was. It feels and sounds to me like the same garble of Opus 5. I'm wondering if their text watermarking or other implicit programming is seriously negatively impacting its logic, reasoning and communication. I'm thinking of ditching Anthropic altogether, because Opus 5 is unusable and Fable 5 is 2x tokens for this same kind of reading experience.

Just curious if anybody else thinks FAbe 5 has declined in the same way as Opus 5. I'm considering opencode + Kimi K3, which is quite expensive for a big codebase but perhaps comparable to Claude Max subscription for english investing prompts, or opencode + DeepSeek for very cheap context.
