Editor’s Review
4.5/5
Pros
  • +Best-in-class long-form writing and reasoning
  • +Genuinely helpful for coding
  • +Thoughtful safety defaults
Cons
  • Newer Opus versions drew complaints about over-cautious refusals
  • Can feel argumentative in long chats
  • Lags on image and visual search features

Our pick for serious writing and nuanced reasoning - it reads more naturally than any rival. That said, r/ClaudeAI users have flagged newer Opus builds for over-refusal on benign tasks and an occasionally argumentative tone.
