Longtime User Cancels Claude, Calls Opus 5 'Insanely Bad' and 5.1 a Glorified Bug Fix
nikvassev · x · 2026-09-02
A user who has subscribed since Claude launched and built extensively with it announces canceling. He calls Opus 5 "so bad it's insane," says the 5.1 release is "a glorified bug fix that is a bit too late," and laments that Anthropic has gone downhill, hoping they figure it out. One user's strongly negative take, not a consensus verdict.
