Users Complain Claude Opus 5 is Wordy and Judgmental vs Opus 4.6
JeremyNguyenPhD · x · 2026-08-03
A user recently pointed out that while Claude Opus 5 is smarter, Opus 4.6 was actually a joy to talk to. They feel something is off with Opus 5: it tends to give overly long replies, overuses typical "Claude-speak" (e.g., "here's the honest truth"), and comes across as too judgmental. Opus 4.6 used to feel like a trusted friend, a vibe the newer model seems to have lost.
