   How about you make Opus 5.5 actually work?

   I had it try to prepare a code review for me. Not only did it refuse, it refused to even tell me what the prompt (written by another Claude!) was. Why?

   When I had another model read the session (all of the "stupider" models handled it just fine) it explained that it had the word "reasoning" in it

   That's the entirety of Anthropic's billions of dollars of research: any prompt with the word "reasoning" is trying to hack Claude to figure out how it reasons!

   A model like that should never have gotten out of QA, let alone been released.

      I understand the frustration but shows a lack of critical thinking. Esp when you start with 'How about ..'.

      This blogpost is about frontend performance. It'll be akin to you commenting on a swift blogpost saying 'How about Airpods noise cancellation'. Sure both are Apple, but they are wildly different teams.

         Through critical thinking I believe this would actually be akin to them commenting that AirPods firmware, written in swift, is bad because of swift limitations.

         In both instances, it's a side point that is actually tangentially related to the first. Not completely unrelated as you are implying
