I had it review a single, large commit with /code-review. It burned through over $50 in API calls, ran my account balance out, and output nothing.
The fable part appears to be that it's affordable by mere mortals. Anthropic support told me "too bad" when I requested a refund.

- edude03 3mo agoAlmost the exact same thing happened to me when I first tried opus, one prompt no output cost $60 in additional usage

- steve-atx-7600 3mo agoI haven’t seen fable do anything significantly better than I can already do with codex 5.5 xhigh. It’s virtually u limited for now for me for $200/month. Seems like a steal while it lasts. Paying by api keys now is not the way to go if you can avoid it. Obviously it isn’t for every use case.
- endymion-light 3mo agoI think the fable it's referring to is the "Emperor has No Clothes" - if this is even slightly similar to the Mythos hyped up to be too intelligent to release, I'm quite disappointed. If this was a step change, e.g a Opus 5, I'd be pleased, it's definitely an upgrade on some work, but it's nothing like anthropics apocalyptical marketing seemed to suggest

- solenoid0937 3mo agoI suspect the tasks you're trying just aren't complex enough. It's definitely a generational improvement.
- endymion-light 3mo agoNope, plenty of complex tasks. It's just not that much better, it's equivalent to sonnet with a good harness.
