it talks so much better
doesn't gaslight/cheat it's way through like Opus 5 did sometimes
the usage is much better
however i was wondering when ant mentioned they boosted 5H limit does that mean they kept the weekly limit the same
i.e instead of getting 12 5h sessions / week you get 10 longer ones for the same weekly limit ?
weโre thinking of killing plan mode and using the shift+tab hotkey to adjust effort levels
I donโt think the models need plan mode anymore, but if youโre a plan mode diehard would love to get your feedback on why
@VictorTaelin I have this theory that Opus 5 was overlooked because they were hooked on fable that Opus 5 turned out unusable without tons of skills to steer it the right the way
If a message gets flagged, the session switches to an older model and keeps going.
In Claude Code, run /model to switch back, or press Esc twice to edit your last message and retry.
Set "Switch models when a message is flagged" in /config, and report wrong flags with /feedback.
Asking it to show its reasoning in the reply can also get flagged.
Ask "Explain why you chose this approach in three sentences" instead.

Some prompting habits from earlier models now slow it down.
These are the tips worth changing first๐งต
Add this line to research questions and long tasks:
"Mark anything you couldn't confirm, and say where you looked."
The answer then separates what it verified from what still needs checking, and tells you where it already searched.
