opus 5 doesn't follow instructions that great. probably needed that extra "creativity" to benchmax. if you are stuck on anthropic, try Opus 4.8 or Fable5 a try with the same prompts. very different results.
Like I said, I'm essentially continually prompting to refine the material. LLMs certainly continue to append, and never cut back. It just keeps spitting out additional content at me. So that's a bit annoying too. But I can basically get figure out what's going on with a few extra promps.
If youre curious what i've got so far... just be warned it is quite literally AI slop plus me continually prompting for clarification/cleanup etc. : https://github.com/cmoscardi/ai-for-ai
