Claude Opus 5 is being described as a strong subagent, not a great ideation partner

- A repost says Claude Opus 5 feels like a “naturally born subagent”: technically competent, good at surfacing the right information and errors, and even has strong visual taste.
- But it is also described as somewhat annoying to talk to and rigid at the high-level ideation layer.
- The author argues the intended setup may be a Fable orchestrator managing a small team of Opus models, and suggests that is likely how Anthropic uses and trains them internally.
