I found opus 4.8 too agreeable and too wordy(as opposed to codex) and too agreeable. If you are reading documents generating by it was too much. TBH. Fable did a bit better on this. Anyone seen a marked difference with opus 5 on this?

Opus yes, it likes to explain steps and reread files.

Fable is not better, it says zero information between steps and then output a summary. A perfect “send - done”.
