    Disagree on the slop point. By now the code of frontier models works well, and the need to read it is gone. The Claude word salad problem was pretty much solved with the 5.5 opus release.

    The other 3 points made in article make sense though.

      “Solved” = roughly back on par with 4.8. This is like Apple rolling back the butterfly keyboard and telling you it’s the best keyboard yet

        No come on. 4.8 was borderline unusable. I get intelligible results from 5.5
