petergyang · x · 2026-08-02
petergyang speculated that as models improve at long-running tasks, their conversational quality might degrade. In his reply, he criticized the newer Opus 5 model, stating it feels off compared to Opus 4.6. He noted that Opus 5 gives overly long replies, overuses typical "Claude-speak" phrases like "here's the honest truth," and feels too judgmental, losing the joyful, trusted-friend vibe it previously had.
