Anthropic’s next release, Opus 5, is framed as a make-or-break moment.
- The author argues Anthropic’s recent problems started with poor-quality Opus 4.7–4.8, not with Fable.
- Opus 4.6 is described as a strong general-purpose model, but still weaker on coding than GPT at the same time.
- The takeaway is blunt: Opus 5 needs to fix quality issues, especially as Anthropic heads into its pre-IPO period.
