    Any benchmark showing Opus 5 as the best just loses credibility for me. Anyone who's actually used Opus 5 daily knows what I'm talking about.

      Yeah, I've dropped back to 4.8 entirely for the remainder of this billing cycle. I'm going to be seriously looking into Qwen adoption and harness migration options over the course of August.

        Same.

        I could not get Opus 5 to do anything without losing a few years of my life from stress.

        Fable has been okay but I am doing ML work and not allowed to use it which feels insane.
