HN Claude/Codex/Fable reports: Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 needs to be retracted. I cant believe they put this as a frontier successor to any other opus. ITS NEITHER A SUCCESSOR NOR A GOOD MODEL! Its stupid as s*t. I never seen something worser than that. Its impossible to express it in words for me. Believe me: I did never ever have used a model that is stupid like that. Even sonnet 5 does better…
To be retracted: why it matters now
For primary quotes and complete technical detail, see HN Claude/Codex/Fable's original report linked above.
Developer Action Items
- ☐ Verify the claim on the official Anthropic / Claude / Sonnet page (or HN Claude/Codex/Fable), not from this recap alone.
- ☐ Name the surface that moved — API, policy, model, hardware, or commercial terms — before you Slack the thread.
- ☐ Assign one owner a day to read the primary material and decide: this-sprint, this-quarter, or noise.
- ☐ Do not change production on day-one coverage. Watch the vendor changelog and one independent write-up first.
