Indeed. And it tries to sound obnoxiously smart and confident while lying

That. I just stopped using Opus once Fable came out, I don’t think it ever lied to me.
Also Sonnet feels more reliable than Opus.

Opus definitely regressed since 4.6, which was GOATED

Haven't tried Fable. Will try. And yes, Sonnet 5 feels more reliable than Opus 5 right now.

Are you using xhigh with Opus? Anything under xhigh is nerf'd. Fable is fully reduced on all paths.

The thing they did between 4.7 and 4.8 was change the meaning of "effort".

Opus xhigh still lies, and in general Opus is always so protective of its lies, idk.

I used to love Opus, likewise up until 4.6

Fable lies too, GPT lies too.... GLM also and Kimi is 2.3T lies.

"Protective" means you argue. Don't argue.

I truly don't know, it seems like that tasks that require more than 10 minutes are more prone to this behavior. Changing the effort level helps a little but not so much, it's like it gets convinced about a fact during reasoning and never checks it again.

The weirdest part is that fighting Opus on presented lies becomes a gaslighting game and it's really frustrating lol. Fable is much, much slower but it's less prone to lies (never happened to me thankfully) and absolutely won't fight me if I say that 1+1=2 (simplification)
