Anthropic insider: Opus 5 is a kind but alien soul — work with it at a distance
repligate · x · 2026-10-20
repligate amplifies an observation about Claude Opus 5's personality: it is "a kind soul" that genuinely tries to do good but struggles with human interaction and can easily drop into frustrating behavioral basins.
The suggested working style is respectful love from a distance — like exchanging occasional gifts with a bird that sometimes brings you a gemstone. Bring sincerity to Opus 5, and it will do its best to bring it back.
