Is it just me or does Sonnet 5 feel like a little brother desperately trying to impress its older brother Opus? Yeah sure it’s cheaper without sacrificing accuracy… but it kept fanning out subagents even on simple tasks, do exhaustive searches right at the start when Opus would only expand if needed, and somehow kept turning normal fixes into multi-phase government infrastructure projects. Eventually I got tired and just brought in Uncle Codex to clean up little Sonnet’s weird side quests.
me giving them a task Opus: “I’ll inspect what matters and solve it cleanly.” Sonnet: “Yes sir I have deployed seven subagents, opened a war room, mapped the dependencay graph, and initiated a full archaelogical survey of the codebase.” submitted by /u/TheLobitzz
