I really love the Opus/Fable models but I'm honestly sick to death of the buggy product. The CLI always has some weird issue. Right now it doesn't even output messages before tool calls, it just swallows them and they disappear.
I don't like OpenAI as a company, but they appear to have QA, and that is probably enough to get me to switch.
There was an issue on Claude Code the other day where it would only wait 60 seconds when it had asked a set of questions, then if it didn't get a response from the user it would just continue however it thought was best. Completely unusable. It took them nearly 48 hours to merge a fix.
That sounds intentional though.
Yes it was an intentionally added feature, that was extremely bad.
Glad I’m not the only one noticing this. It’s maddening.
Using remote control I will choose a model but Claude will always revert to Haiku for the first turn.
Basic stuff about features that are more than a week old just get no attention at all. From the outside Athropic seems to be a clear feature factory.
