Opus 5.5 Wins Back Codex Converts: Every.to Team Vibe Check

every · x · 2026-09-25

Every.to's team testing finds Opus 5.5 fixed Opus 5's personality problems: no more over-engineering or arguing, with Fable-level power at roughly 60% of Fable's token price. Kieran Klaassen made it his daily driver, loving low-effort mode's sketch-like output that leaves room for his own ideas. Former Codex converts Mike Taylor and Tyler Nishida are reconsidering ("my jaw dropped at least five or six times"), though Dan Shipper calls it a "smaller Fable" and still prefers Codex for writing. Remaining flaws: buried ledes and occasional runaway verbosity.
