AI commentator teortaxesTex weighs in on Opus 5.5 in a spat with another user: compared to Astra, it excels in exactly the ways DeepSeek does, just much more so, and is genuinely useful — yet it's "simply not deep enough a thinker," echoing the Opus 4.5 vs GPT 5.2 dynamic. The quoted user countered that he isn't pushing models hard enough and mocked his "DeepSeek taste."
