Current models, especially Opus are almost unusable because they don’t respect instructions and their responses are infuriating. They are clearly designed for token consumption. I find myself wasting a lot of time just asking it to shorten or simplify its responses. I’ll give this new model a go, but I’m not holding my breath because the last model release was supposed to fix the very same issues and it didn’t.

Whatever I think of anthropic, that webpage is a truly nice piece of work.

So is this AGI+ now?

Holy shit! Its happening!

Now if we can the AI to understand this *implicitly* so that it doesn't need to be stated upfront, we might be able to undo years of "premature optimization is the root of all evil".

wow its really smarter than opus?

How do you update Claude Code to enable this? It’s listed under models, but says I have to update for 5.5. I run Claude update and it says I’m on the latest version.

Infuriating.

I get this in my claude.ai usage:

Resets Get extra wiggle room to explore Opus 5.5. Expires Oct 22.

What the hell does this mean? There are weekly "resets" anyways. And there will be 4 of them before Oct 22.

Has Opus 5 been absolutely terrible for people today? Like they took resources away from it to make room for 5.5? It is getting very basic things wrong all of a sudden.
