Claude Opus 5 excels at Three.js coding despite being hated for overthinking
prasenx · x · 2026-08-26
A user argues that while Claude Opus 5 is criticized for overthinking and hallucinations, it outperforms competitors like Fable in Three.js and 3D tasks. The model's tendency to overthink acts as an advantage here: unlike other models that settle for a basic approximation (e.g., a simple green leaf shape) and stop, Opus continues to refine and improve the code, resulting in higher quality outputs without needing specific prompts for every detail.
