Anthropic's new AI model, Opus 5, is being described as a capable model that performs well on benchmarks, even surpassing Fable 5 in some areas. However, users report it is very 'token hungry,' leading to rapid consumption of usage limits.
“So I guess I guess we don't have to kill my source. Thank you, my source.”
“Having used it enough now, I can say it's a good model. It's a good boy.”
“It is token hungry in a way that has me chewing through my limits.”
“I am not very happy about that.”
