Hate Opus 5. Really dont know why they did this

For me it is not the verbosity. The verbosity always existed. But before it was intelligible.

Worse, it makes evidence-less claims and goes off on tangents i never asked. Closer to gemini 3.0 pro (without the intelligibility)

Surprisingly gemini 3.8 flash is mimicking the experience i once had with 4.5/4.6 far closely in quality, clarity and “vibes” for lack of a better word.

Just surprised how the tables turned between them. And dont know how the house of Claude thought it is a good idea to evolve a model like this.

For me now sol medium with 3.8 flash have become an invincible daily driver. Far better control on my code and output for far less $

I only use Fable until my company’s enterprise limits run out. And use it for significant architectural debates.

Before any of you guys whine about setting my model to 4.6; sorry my enterprise license limits me to 5+
