I'm using it to review recent work and it's doing a genuinely excellent job. This is a clear step up. Fewer decisions I have to guide it away from, faster conclusions on planning, more willing to go out of the way to make the correct decisions possible... This is really interesting. It feels like going from Sonnet to Opus, but, of course as a step up from Opus.
This feels more like working with a competent peer than ever. I won't use it once it's API-only, though. I don't mind guiding Opus as required and staying closer to the code. I can tell that Fable would lead to a lot more 'set and forget' programming which I'm still not fully comfortable with.
Regardless, this is cool. It's very fun to use. It was able to find legitimate issues with my work this week and we've made meaningful improvements. Opus can do this, but typically in much narrower contexts, and often with hallucinations or partial-errors. It needs to walk many things back or revise plans. So far that's not the case at all with Fable.
edit: I just realized I had Opus review the same work already. It missed everything Fable caught today. And it's actually worthwhile stuff to address. It's hard to say no to a model which demonstrably makes your code better, but... Those API prices will be brutal. Maybe a review here and there, I guess.

- steve_adams_86 4mo agoNo, I'm skeptical of AI in many ways, but I do find LLMs are useful in the right contexts. I'm pretty happy with this model so far.

- steve_adams_86 4mo agoI trip this detector a lot. I am in fact made of meat though, for better or worse.
- yoyohello13 4mo agoSame. I used it today to review my code and it came up with some genuinely good comments and suggestions and found a bug I didn’t think about. Quite a step up from opus. Although one code review took up 50% of my usage.
