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

I haven’t had any issues with Fable or Opus code-wise, but the way it has started writing recently has almost become incomprehensible.

At the end of a long session it will start saying stuff like “There are smoke tests on the foundation-gates that are left for the cutting seam checks on these domains, which is genuinely your decision”

Never before the past couple months have I ever not been able to understand wtf it’s even saying lol

My subscription expires tomorrow. Had subscribed ~March, eventually ended up paying for the $200 tier. However, there isn't enough of a moat for me to keep spending $200 if the models aren't being helpful anymore.

The unnecessarily jargon filled language was already pretty bad, but the latest Opus/Fable also just didn't seem to go far enough when asked to look into something, often leading me in circles.

Maybe with lower weekly quotas the load will be lower and we'll have fewer outages? A guy can dream.

I just cancelled my Max 5x plan. I was already mad at the limits, now Anthropic says it will get worse ? Nah, thanks.

I'm getting to that point as well. Has anyone noticed that sometimes claude just seems way dumber on a random day? Like they're doing some internal tweaking? Also, I'm 100% convinced that it's verbose writing style is to generate tokens to make you hit your limit quicker. I have so many rules and it still talks in this bizarrely verbose, cryptic style where it's sometimes borderline impossible to understand what it's saying.
