# "Opus 5 is a really bad model" > Source: > Published: 2026-07-28 04:03:10+00:00 - i feel like i’m being lied to here. i’ve been the biggest gpt > claude guy. but sol is pathetic. it makes every task into a token chugging monster and fails to deliver on my explicit goal, instead chasing random engineering concerns outside of the scope. - its /awful/, Opus-5 makes me feel like setting my hair on fire out of frustration. it's annoying to work with for high tasks: it constantly makes bad decisions and large mistakes so any token-usage you saved by not using Fable instead is useless/worse.
