Using the most expensive model for all of your agentic coding work hasn’t been good practice for a long time. Not unless you have infinite money to spend.

Fable is typically used for key planning, architecting, and review tasks.

I think this is a case where you don’t understand the use case, not that the marketing department is making mistakes.

Also both are still somewhat bad at UI implementation. Opus more so
