Totally agree. I think with Opus 5 something changed that I catch myself rereading and reparsing prose way more than before. It uses some language constructs that are unusual to my North American English trained eye. I can’t quickly read it. It’s just dense.

I think it just gets really into the weeds and assumes you have full context. I do find myself saying "You have more context than me—can you restate the question in simple terms?" It does well then.

To be fair, I don't find this to be new with Opus 5, but maybe it is slightly more pronounced.

It’s felt like this since 4.7 to me. I have mistral medium rewrite almost everything that’s text Claude outputs.
