Anthropic faces growing backlash as users say Opus 5 feels worse over time
kimmonismus · x · 2026-08-04
Anthropic is coming under pressure as criticism around Opus 5 keeps building. The poster says the mood has shifted sharply and that Opus 5 has been “generally so poorly received.”
A quoted comment argues that the model gets worse with use: it goes off track, does random things not asked for, forgets context, and keeps running into annoying guardrails. The comparison given is that GPT-5.6 is “worlds better,” and the thread suggests enthusiasm for Anthropic’s latest Opus releases has faded quickly.
