The Rust I’m getting from Opus 5.5 works great. What’s the complaint?

Actually I felt since 4.5, it was “good enough” for basic coding (and competing models have reached that level as well). The big improvements since then have been longer-horizon tasks. Giving it a vague description of a problem, then come back hours later and find it did a better job than I would have. And since 5.5 I haven’t encountered any more load bearing seams.

Maybe it’s slow, but I’m not interacting with the models in a live chat anymore for most work. I’m giving them tasks to do async. The limiting factor is actually my bandwidth reviewing their output.
