I've spent a week with Opus 5.
My honest take: It's a worse model for half of what I do. And the best model I've touched for the other half. The problem is which half matters more:
Opus 5 + higgsfield one-shotted a 2008 xbox 360 adventure with 2026 graphics
Gemini 3.7 Flash just oblitarated Opus 5 (max)
They both got a simple task Generate an animated smoke video with Seedance 2.5 Opus aka the flagship model in this category Just lost to a clearly more economically feasible model The guys at GeminiApp making good progress
Someone made this with Claude Opus 5 + Thrixel Skills.
Thrixel handled the hosting + deployment too.
