yeah, I just switched to the GPT models and it's a breath of fresh air.

as for the other guy, the claude talk is definitely not less ambiguous, it often is incredibly ambiguous and hard to parse, I have no clue why it produces such output, if not to fingerprint it?

it's really weird man. when Opus 5 came out, I was really confused. I saw a bunch of hype about how it's better than fable, but I just felt frustrated with it, although at times it'd do fine, but especially in Claude Code it'd just delve into the whole "load bearing" type of lingo real fast and I'd get a headache.

I don't think it's worth using even if it scores 2 points higher in some bs benchmark

it's definitely surprising how the magic and smoothness of 4.6 and such is no longer there with the >5 models
