Claude Opus 5 has dropped. It has

happened and it has totally blown my

mind. It is better than Claude Fable 5.

It is a fraction of the price. It is

significantly faster, but it has three

insane weaknesses I'm about to go over

that change absolutely everything. But

before we get into those three deal

breakers with Claude Opus 5, let's talk

about the incredible things that are

like legitimately revolutionary. First

of all, it beats Fable 5 on almost every

single benchmark. This is not one of

those channels where we look at charts

and benchmarks all day. Totally boring.

No, I'm just letting you know right now

it beats Fable 5 on every benchmark and

in a second I'm going to take you

through a world-famous new revolutionary

benchmark I've been working on for weeks

now that proves it's better than Fable 5

in almost every single way. It is half

the price. So this was the biggest issue

with Fable 5. It was totally

uneconomical for the average user, but

Opus 5 it's half the price. It comes in

at a good price and you get your full

limitations with your Claude plan.

Meaning you can use it to 100%. Claude

Fable 5 for some reason won't let you

use half your limitations, which is

really stupid and annoying. It's

significantly faster. It works lightning

quick, much better than Fable. Which

brings us to the question and I'll and

I'll show you my benchmarks in 1 second

here. Any reason to use Fable 5 anymore?

No, with one small exception which I'll

go through right after these benchmarks

I'm about to show you. But no, there

isn't a reason. And then as I said,

there's three major weaknesses which

we'll go over as well. Let's go into

these world-famous Finn benchmarks I

just created to show you why this is

better than Fable 5. All right, so this

is the new famous Finn benchmark. There

are five tests here we put both Fable 5

and Opus 5 through. In a second I'm

going to show you Opus 5 versus GPT 56

so we can know which one of those two is

better. And Opus 5 won basically all of

the benchmarks. So, starting with

benchmark number one, this was a 3D

roller coaster simulator. Both had to

build a 3D roller coaster simulator.

Let's show you Opus 5 first. This was

Opus 5, an absolutely beautiful

simulation. It built the entire track,

all the trees, the building route, the

sky, the clouds. And if I hit ride, you

can actually see the roller coaster in

real time. You can see the from the

user's perspective going around the

roller coaster. This is really, really

nice, detailed, beautiful, and was done

lightning quick. As you can also see, it

was done with 82 cents of credits and

about 32,000 tokens. We go over to Fable

5. It was actually done with less

tokens, but was significantly more

expensive, about 50% more expensive.

Let's see the output of it. And as you

can see, it's just not quite as

beautiful, not quite as detailed or

clear. It looks like just kind of like a

generation behind. If we go on the ride,

you can see the track doesn't look quite

right. The trees all kind of look

similar. There was no real detail to

anything, so it doesn't look nearly as

good. The next test is the pixel perfect

test where it has to clone an entire

website. It has to clone the Apple

website. If we go to the actual Apple

website, this is what it was tasked with

cloning. You can see college sorted. It

has a bunch of people holding Apple

devices, iPhones, MacBook Airs, MacBook

Pros. Now to Opus 5's recreation,

obviously, it doesn't look incredible,

but I'll show you Fable in a second. But

you can see it's pretty close. It had to

build every part of this website from

scratch. It's not copying and pasting

over images. It's building what a

MacBook looks like from scratch. What a

MacBook Pro, an iPad, a watch would look

like. As you can see, it has names,

recreates a TV. Let's see what this

looks like with Fable. Fable 5, not

quite the same. Remember this looked

like human beings on the real website

and in the Opus 5 website, the iPhones

cut off, the MacBook looks nothing like

a MacBook Air, the iPad looks nothing

like iPads, the watch doesn't look

anything like a watch. The cards kind of

lazily done. As you can see, nothing

looks quite the same. Opus 5, everything

looked much better. Does it look

perfect? No, but looks much better than

Fable. The next test was the gauntlet

test. And basically, this is a agentic

test where it tests the tool use of the

model. We give the model a whole bunch

of documents, PDFs, Excel spreadsheets,

a whole bunch of things, and have it

basically do a scavenger hunt where it

goes and has to find specific things in

all the documents. It tests its agentic

ability. Opus 5, it did a pretty good

job. It got five out of the eight

scavenger hunt items. Fable 5 cut off

halfway through because of content

blockage from Anthropic. It thought I

was doing something with cybersecurity.

It cut it off. This has nothing to do

with cybersecurity. It's about finding

specific things in different documents.

Fable 5 wouldn't allow me to do the

agentic test, so that didn't count.

There's a debug wall. So basically, what

this benchmark does is go online and

find like 15 different bugs from

open-source GitHub repos. And then it

hands it to each model and says, "Hey,

go through this and fix all the bugs in

all these open-source repos." Opus

actually took a bit longer than Fable 5.

Did it at about the same amount of

tokens, but did it at about a dollar

cheaper overall. So about 25% cheaper.

So this goes to Opus 5 as well. And then

the last test is breaking point. And

basically, the way this works is each

model is tasked with building a bridge.

It's basically a bridge simulator.

They're tasked with building a bridge,

and then the benchmark drives a car over

the bridge over and over and over and

over see how much weight the bridge can

hold. It's basically testing the

thinking ability. Okay, can you design a

bridge that holds tons and tons of

weight? Fable cost basically double Opus

to do this, but only was able to hold

slightly more weight than Opus. So, it

goes to Fable, but it was a lot more

expensive. Overall, Opus 5 beat Fable

beat him in almost every single

benchmark, did it for significantly

cheaper. Total cost was $6 for Opus,

$7.50 for Fable 5. And it's the winner.

Opus beats Fable for a fraction of the

price. So, let's talk about the

weaknesses of the model. There are a few

deal breakers for me here that are

stopping me from using this in my entire

stack. Number one, the personality

sucks. It absolutely sucks. I've never

been so annoyed talking to a Claude

model. This has actually been the

advantage of Claude models up to this

point. I've always loved talking to

Claude models. It's been their biggest

advantage against ChatGPT, but for the

first time it has flipped. I loathe the

personality of Opus 5. It is way too

verbose. It is not nearly concise

enough. It goes in a hundred different

directions when it's talking to you. You

ever have like that friend from high

school who thinks he's just like way

better than everyone else and way

smarter than everyone else? And when you

talk to them, they use like the biggest

words possible and go in a million

different directions to prove how smart

they are? That's what it feels like with

Opus 5. I've had to multiple times using

Opus 5 hit the stop button to get it to

shut up and I say "Please be way more

simple and concise and talk to me like

I'm 5 years old." I'm not kidding. For

the first time I've had to go to

Claude.md to edit its personality. I

just said, "Speak as simple as humanly

possible." And I highly recommend when

you use this model you do the same

thing. It's unfortunate cuz it also kind

of leaks into the way it works

sometimes, where I'll be like, "Fix this

bug." And it'll just do a hundred other

things before fixing the bug, which is

really, really annoying. It It appears

like it's just this like erratic, super

hyper intelligent being that can't stay

focused. For me, Fable 5 was actually

way more focused. And I actually enjoyed

talking to Fable 5 more. The issue is

Fable 5, you can only use 50% of your

budget on it, and it uses up all your

credits. So, I have to replace Fable 5

with Opus. So, highly recommend editing

your personality for Opus 5. It's just

It's just too much and it does too much.

The limits suck. Even though you can use

100% of your budget on Opus 5, the

Claude limits just absolutely suck

compared to ChatGPT. ChatGPT, that that

Tibo dude from Twitter is constantly

restarting the limits like every 5

minutes. You basically get unlimited

usage with ChatGPT. Claude, even though

you can use all your budget on Opus 5,

it still has lower budgets overall

Anthropic versus ChatGPT. I can still

see the meter going quicker, which gives

me like a level of anxiety as I'm giving

prompts. It makes me want to do less.

Because ChatGPT has unlimited usage

basically,

there's no anxiety when using I I'm more

free to be creative and explore and do

more things and do interesting things.

So, I you know, the limits still here

are a deal breaker for me. And then the

harness for Claude code is still just

not as good as Codex or I guess it's the

ChatGPT app now. The ChatGPT app is a

significantly better harness. Their new

voice mode, which video on that coming

in like the next 24 hours, maybe 48

hours, turn on notifications now and

subscribe, especially if this video has

been helpful for you. Video on that

coming very soon, but it is incredible.

It is excellent. Claude just added a

voice mode, but it's not nearly even

like a quarter of what the ChatGPT voice

mode is. That's coming soon again,

notifications on. Also, by the way, I'm

doing a boot camp on Opus 5 in an hour

from me filming this. It's going to be

recorded. It'll be in the Vibe Coding

Academy. Link for that down below.

Number one AI community on planet Earth.

Join that link down below. I promise

it'll be the best decision you ever

make. Now, here is my new stack. With

all that being said, here is my new

stack for super hard problems, Opus 5.

It's the smartest model out there. It

has the highest intelligence. It's

smarter than Fable 5. Fable 5 was

slightly smarter than 5.6. Opus 5 is

slightly smarter than Fable 5. If I'm

doing massive planning, I'm still

relying on Fable 5, mostly because I

just don't like the output of Opus from

like a talking perspective. So, if I

need talking, if I need a plan, if I

need to go back and forth, if I need a

brainstorm, I'd rather do with Fable 5.

I don't want to talk to Opus 5 to do

planning. I just want to shut up and

write code. Daily driver though, that's

ChatGPT 5.6. You get so much higher

limits. The voice mode is incredible.

Again, video coming soon. It is just

better to use overall out of the three.

So, daily driver, ChatGPT 5.6 it is.
