Opus 5 at low effort is quite good at most tasks, and will go a long way even on the base plan. At higher thinking levels it is unbearably cautious and verbose - it drives me mad. I don’t have a use for Fable at current prices.

My current go-tos are DS Flash, Minimax M3 for subagents. Adding Muse Spark 1.3 to that mix but not convinced yet.
