Repeated tests of Opus 5 suggest lower token use but shallower reasoning

The author says repeated testing of Opus 5 over the past day suggests it is being overhyped:
- They claim the model does use fewer tokens, but that comes with weaker reasoning, shallower thinking, and worse decisions.
- In their view, the performance is nowhere near the claims being made compared with other LLMs.
- They ask others to share their own experience testing the model.
