Intern in question here, starting at a mid size (~25 eng) startup this week.

Apart from good fundamentals, how can an intern be helpful when opus exists?

I think for an intern, just the fundamentals will put you above 90% of your peers. Everything else is gravy. Ask intelligent questions at the right time. What is the right time? That's where EQ kicks in.
