I like how Opus 5 doesn't re explain EVERYTHING to me like 4.8 did. GPT 5.6 SOL reasons WAY too hard over nothing, and Opus 5 is an amazing mode. Way to go anthropic
Yes, I didn't appreciate this because I was giving Sol a brief to implement and it was doing very well.
So then I just told it to do its thing without a brief and it went for 2.5 hours and used 30% of my week. I tried the same task with the brief and Sol went for 30 minutes and used 2% of my week. Compared the two and the 30 minute brief-based Sol output was much better factored, shorter, validated better, scoped better, and of course cheaper.
Left to its own devices, Sol goes out of control.
Now I ask Sol to write the brief and Terra to implement it, works pretty well and overall usage is down.
