Anthropic’s issue is churn because of the peak verbosity vomit coming out of Opus 5/Mythos/Fable. What the hell did they train it on. The sane model is still Opus 4.6.

There's actually a tool called vomit [1] of all names to fix exactly what what is being discussed here.

What if:
- Opus 4.6 was the last Opus generation that got a lot of use by Anthropic's own employees
- After that they primarily used Mythos internally
- 4.7, 4.8 and 5 were RLAIFd by Mythos "teachers"
- Hence why 4.6 is the last Opus gen who doesn't report back like a robot wanting to cover every potential hole another AI system would've spotted and criticized
- Hence why coding style in Opus 5 also gets criticized, not only behavior in CC
Perhaps there is a sophisticated subtle poisoning attack that makes models behave like that?
