Don’t shoot at me.
Hard take: Claude models are a little more intelligent and coherent but at the cost of beeing massively boring and predictable.
As someone who use Opus/Fable via different providers.. i am not impressed and i can say confidently that I don’t like Claude models anymore. Since Opus 3.7, everything is more and more bland and i can say it freely because (Thanks God) my budget is not a problem and i don’t have to gaslight myself for justifying the cost.
I personally miss more Mimo 2.5 pro When I stop to use it than Opussy 4.6. One is more intelligent yes but in it’s own blackbox and try to railroad me silently while the other is less intelligent and try actually to vibe with me and surprise me (in a very fun way).
I choose fun over prose, that’s personal but i don’t RP for prose, if i want good prose i read a book. I RP for interaction, friction and stakes that could immerse me.
Anthropic models feels like doing a tour in a very neat museum. While so-called inferior models commit more to the expérience in my opinion.
