The author expresses disappointment with recent changes in Anthropic's AI models, particularly Claude Opus 5 and its associated tooling. Initially impressed by the models' conciseness and effectiveness, especially with Claude Code for development tasks, the author now finds Opus 5 to be verbose, less focused, and prone to over-engineering.
