Claude has been huge for me. I understand tech well but I'm not a developer, and it's helped me take ideas that used to just live in my head and turn them into real working software I can put in front of test users. It walked me through publishing a live website and even setting up a proper dev environment with GitHub, stuff I never would have figured out on my own. Excited to use opus 5 and see how it compares to fable 5.

My opinion about Claude 5 vs 4.8 is kinda mixed. Too soon for some solid opinion but I haven't noticed "wow" yet.

Love it! I now prefer Opus 5 over Fable 5. I’m working with a smarter model that is more accurate and detailed, while using fewer tokens!

It seems to jump to conclusions a lot more than 4.8 without verification and needs a lot correction. I am curious is it just me or others have hit the same issue with the model?

I love Claude, it is so much more thoughtful than other platforms I have used. I like being able to switch between models and being able to personalize responses. I think it is also a very straightforward platform!
