Claude Opus and Fable are so bad compared to GPT-5.6-Sol it's ridiculous, their desktop client is worse, and the value is worse because OpenAI has been spamming discounts. They better get their shit together at Anthropic! Edit: If you're mad I'm light on the details I have provided some in the replies.

I don't know why this comment's getting down voted. It's absolutely true. I would also add that Anthropic seems to limit, compute, the more you use it because I'm on the Max subscription, and it just stops working for me. I'll ask it to do something and it'll say, I tried, but I couldn't do it over and over again or some variation of. But it doesn't do that at the start of my subscription, so...

Because just calling something bad does not add a lot to the conversation. It's not thoughtful, interesting, or good.

gpt-5.6-sol uses fewer tokens and OpenAI has been more generous with usage, but quality-wise I wouldn't say they are inferior to each other. I have a Claude Code and OpenAI subscription so that I can use Opus/Fable/gpt-5.6 as I please, and the models are often catching things the other models missed. So much that I would significantly weaken my workflow if I dropped one subscription. My best workflow at the moment is…

Any model currently in 2026 is better than the ones of 2024. What is the quality difference really.

I mean i think if a developer has a good handle of the code the difference is marginal .

Unless we 100% offload the thinking to the model and act like a prompt manager. Maybe

Looking like this will be the last month with Anthropic. Between the outages and just overall crap utility of Opus/Fable lately...

also codex + sol is really good and quite fast.

I switched when 4.7 dropped, after over a year on the service. It was an immediate improvement - not even 1 hour before Codex was giving me better results with less effort.
