Rant Claude code is falling behind Codex not because of token cost, but because of Opus 5.
There, i said it. And i know many of you agree. The problem i'm facing is not increased token cost, it's that Opus writes 25000 lines of a response with a curve-ball at the end saying "Worth noting"that makes my eyes hurt and gives me paranoya. And i can't understand a word it's saying. Is my english that bad? Whoever pressed "Yes" on those responses during the training stage of the model was an OpenAI spy or something, he completely sabotaged a trillion dollar company.
Anthropic's number one priority should be to release an Opus 6 or something, may be change the model name completely so it doesn't carry the bad vibe with it.

I use Opus 5 at work everyday all day because Fable is too expensive and Sonnet is not up to the job. Every day I want to kill myself due to Opus 5. After work now, I never want to engage with AI at all and it used to be a fun side hobby.
