So far it seems the same. I used Opus 5.5 for an hour this evening and it was just as painfully verbose as Opus 5. It also used the term "load bearing" 4 separate times.

I noticed that when opus 5.5 was on parts on my codebase that had lots of 5.0-generated comments, it picked up its style. Unfortunately I think 5.5 has been trained to mimic what it sees so that you can ease up on the instructions, but this does mean parts of your codebase that 5 touched will be somewhat viral.

		GLM-5.3 does the same, funnily enough. I gave it some vibecoded patch someone created with Opus 5 with the task of together figuring out the real root cause and what to do about it. Big mistake. The rest of the session was all claude-speak up until I've rage-quit and restarted with Qwen and no context other than "here's what I think we've missed in the current implementation. How could we approach that?" GLM felt like it got at least 20 IQ points dumber just from being exposed to claude's writing.

I will forgive it using load bearing as long as it finds the right seams.

Yeah, you definitely don't want to hang things off the wrong seams, or you'll end up with quite the blast radius

Let's not paper over that gap and find the root cause instead

If anything it seems worse. I'm experiencing about -10% insufferable jargon, but +30% more verbosity. It's unredeemable. There also seems to be even less structured output (headings, bullets, etc).

Due to this release note, I used it once to rewrite a doc, and was disappointed.
