I do not agree. Fable is the only model I can leave unattended and give me results for part of my work which is just devops related tasking.

I can hand hold opus but I would rather just ask fable to do it and give me the result that I review and works. Opus will waste tokens and still require me to help nudge it in the right directions.

I think the next gen models from china will put us in a spot that the cost can plummet and I won’t need the Sota from anthropic

I second the parent comment. 5.6 sol xhigh is not only better than fable I can also run it forever without worrying about limits. The frontend has gotten much better too with the plugins that come with codex.

Agreed. I have the highest individual plan for both. I run out of Fable credits midweek, while I usually have some credit with Chatgpt left despite it having to carry Fables load for the second half of the week.

Also, Sol doesn't refuse constantly and speaks like an engineer rather than a deranged academic.

Opus 5 is legitimately terrible and can't or won't follow instructions. It is of negative utility and does more harm than good to my codebase.

		OP5 will do long running work, you just have to make it write a plan. And - trick - give it a little cli so it can run Codex if you have them both. Let it do codex to do the bulk of the work, get a OP5 sub-agent to audit the work of the codex worker. Just let Op5 manage and have 'specific oversight. You can run for 2 days on 1 context window in the manager, the advantage is that it will stick to a broad plan.

		I’m referring to Fable vs 5.6 Sol. Opus 5 being bad is universal at this point.
