I can’t take Opus 5’s writing anymore. It is so hard to read, and it’s driving me crazy. I have used earlier Opus models and use 5.6 Sol too, and those give normal, easy-to-read answers. But Opus 5? It’s a mess. It doesn’t structure its sentences. It feels like the model is just writing down its raw thoughts as they happen, with zero effort to make sense to a real human reading it. Instead of getting a clear answer, I get hit with big, confusing walls of text. I have to read the same paragraph three times just to figure out what it’s trying to say. Claude Code is supposed to help me work faster, but I waste so much time just trying to decode Opus 5’s English. Is anyone else struggling to actually read what this model outputs, or is it just me? Update/Edit/Correction: Okay, apparently it is a very common sentiment shared by many and isn’t an unpopular opinion. submitted by /u/SherMarri
