Citing a model ranking by Theo T3, the author expresses strong dissatisfaction with Anthropic's current lineup:
- Fable: Best performance but too expensive.
- Opus 5 & Sonnet: Described as poor quality.
- The last impressive model was Opus 4.6.
Consequently, the author canceled their Claude Max plan and switched back to GPT after two years. They rate GPT 5.6 SOL as the best model available today, citing its reasonable price, high intelligence, and speed. This highlights a potential user sentiment shift regarding Anthropic's recent model performance.
