What developers say about Claude Opus 5 on X
- “for normal bug fixes Opus 5 still feels like the smarter daily driver at half the price. My rule: Opus first. Escalate to Fable 5.1 only when a long tool-heavy run keeps losing the thread.”
- “Given how fast Astra eats through my limits I am already thinking coming back to Opus 5. (Fable 5.1 even worse).”
