Does low/medium effort fix it for you? Seems like Fable 5 low can outperform Opus 4.8 high/xhigh often, and uses a lot fewer tokens

- _345 4mo agoIn my case no, I actually saw worse performance with fable medium and switched back to opus high and xhigh
- epolanski 4mo agoI find high+ unusable, it's way too slow and "thorough" on 99% of mundane task. Sure it's better at vibecoding whole tasks, it's clearly good at it, but give it a simple one, and it will still do way more than needed. It's way too fixated on validating even the simplest things, I find it an unproductive model unless you're implementing whole tasks and doing other things in the meantime.
- jon-wood 4mo agoWhy are you deploying a bleeding edge, incredibly expensive, model to do the simplest things? Use Sonnet, hell, use Haiku, they'll get the job done and won't set fire to several rainforests in order to achieve the task.
- skerit 4mo agoFable 5 on medium is amazing. It's handling everything I throw at it I had _one_ instance where for some obscure reason it decided to fall back to Opus 4.8 and Opus IMMEDIATELY fucked it up and implemented a super obvious feature in a slightly-wrong way.
