I hate Opus 5. It’s the best model, anyway.

Claire Vo opens up about her exhaustion with the rapid release of new AI models, proposing a future shift in focus from raw intelligence to factors like speed, cost, and open source. She then delves into a unique review of Opus 5, highlighting its surprisingly neurotic and human-reliant personality through an "interview" process and contrasting it with GPT's directness. Despite her personal frustration with Opus 5's verbose conversational style, which she terms "Claude slop," Vo reveals that the model ultimately excelled in her "How I AI" benchmark for front-end design and prototyping tasks, leading to a "love-hate" conclusion.
