As far as I can see it, Opus has one main issue - overconfidence. It is ultra confident in everything - its understanding of the codebase, user intent, what the missing information in the face of ambiguity is, that it’s making the right changes. It will ultra confidently slap you with a wall of Yap asserting a bunch of stuff incorrectly, and then double down on the incorrect worldview - after you provide it clues that contradict its understanding - by expanding on that incorrect worldview and making up reasons to support it. It’s approach to communication and changes appears to be MORE GAS It honestly feels like Opus 4.8 on Adderall. Is there any way to scale it back and give it more of slow, methodical, Fable style approach to everything? submitted by /u/endgamer42
